In this episode I speak with my friend Karena Akhavein who is a podcaster, published author, and successful writing coach. We discuss her creative approach of using an alter ego in her writing career and what motivated her to do that. We chat about some of the Brain BS that comes up with choosing a career that relies on external validation and the vulnerability that comes with potential rejection. We also talk about the risk of burnout and that money is not the only measure of success.
This is a great conversation because Karena is so fun and open about all the challenges she has faced during her career. Take time to listen to to the episode so you can be inspired to take the next step on your own path to fulfillment and living an authentic life like she did and continues to do.
