What have you been up to for the majority of 2020? If your answer largely involves binge-watching TV shows then welcome to our club! In today’s episode we are diving deep into our TV obsessions of 2020.

Today’s episode is a ‘COVID-19 catch-up’. Things have changed dramatically in the world since Season 9 of the show, when we were on the cusp of our first lockdown here in the UK.

Working from home has been the norm for both of us for many years, but given the current state of the world it’s a working setup that many people are new to. We happened to record this episode just before lockdown was enforced in the UK, and now the timing for it could not feel more poignant.

We’re over the moon to welcome artist Nina Brooke to the show today! Nina is an artist whose work we’ve admired for a long time — indeed Ella owns one of her beautiful beach prints — and we were thrilled when Nina agreed to come onto the show to discuss her career journey, advice for fellow artists, as well as tips for exploring her home area of Cornwall.
info_outlineHow are you feeling about your work world right now? 2020 has been a year for the history books for a number of reasons, and has presented us all with a whole myriad of challenges. In amongst those is navigating new work-life waters. Did you make a career pivot this year? Is your employer instigating a hiring freeze? Have you experienced an ‘aha!’ moment? In today’s episode we are sharing our own career journeys and lifting the lid on our same-but-different career paths with blogging. Ella shares why she’s pivoted away from blogging and into a new career altogether, and Monica opens up about the multiple hats she wears outside of the blogging world.
In today’s episode we also play “what to do if . . .” with career scenarios, including what to do if you have been made redundant/graduated in 2020/want to pursue a side hustle.
We hope that today’s episode can help you to find clarity, or at least comradeship, in your own career journey. As always we would love to hear your thoughts so please do drop us a line, or send us a DM.
