info_outlineDo you make time for creative ideas you have outside of your "day job"?
In this episode, I'm talking to Emily Cretella who not only runs her own copywriting and content marketing firm (her "day job"), but also created an online publication called MotherHustle to share what she's learning as a mom and business owner and provide a place for others to share their stories too. As if that isn't enough, Emily recently made space for another creative pursuit - writing a novel! While Emily doesn't know where these creative projects will lead, she makes time for the things she's interested in. We talk all about how these passion projects came about and the mindset she has behind fitting them in.
Highlights:
- How motherhood changed the course of her career
- The weekly newsletter she started to share what she was learning with other working moms
- Creating a community to share experiences with MotherHustle
- Letting a passion project be personal exploration instead of making it a business or a job
- Allowing creative pursuits to organically lead to your next career step
- The dream Emily decided to go after instead of letting it happen "someday"
