Leap into Your New Career with Rachel Hom-van den Wildenberg

Have you considered leaving your full-time work to pursue a career more aligned with your passion? How do you work through the fear of giving up a paycheck to pursue ‘magical things’?

Jaime’s guest in today’s episode is Rachel Hom-van den Wildenberg. Rachel went from a strategist role with an international sports brand, to full-time illustrator.

Change doesn’t happen instantly, sometimes a leap like this can be years in the making. For Rachel, it was three years of working through the fear, before she was ready for the leap. She had to learn how to be in her job in order to feel ready to leave it.

In‌ ‌this‌ ‌episode,‌ ‌you’ll learn to:

• Find the courage to stay in your current job to learn the skills you’ll need when you leave
• Look objectively at your contribution at work rather than counting hours
• Give yourself credit for the journey you’ve been on towards a more aligned future, even if you haven’t yet taken action
• That negative voice in your head isn’t actually making you more productive
