Summary

I am excited to bring Kali back on the podcast to chat about what she has been up to lately! For anyone who is entrepreneurial or creative, you will relate to a lot of what we discuss in this episode. We tackle the topic of burnout: how it can happen, what you can do to overcome it, how to know when to step back. But just because you need a break from something, it doesn’t mean you have to quit forever. Kali shares about returning to creative work in a way that supports the life you want to live. Also, if you have ever considered taking my blogging course, don’t miss this peek behind the curtain of what it’s like to be one of my blog students!

In this episode, we cover:

The surprising gifts of taking a sabbatical from creative work
Kali’s journey of starting a blog last year
A look at how blogging has changed over the years
Navigating which kind of content is right for which platform
Thinking through what platform and strategy is right for your unique goals
What your schedule can look like as a full-time mom and blogger
Thoughts on imposter syndrome and moving forward in confidence
