Grown Up Gigs

GrownUpGigs

If you’ve been around these parts for a while, you might’ve been privy to the first incarnation of Grown-Up Gigs, which lived on my blog as a series from Nov 2009-Dec 2011. I so wanted to bring to the forefront the people who were working in creative professions…following their dreams and making it happen in their passionate career, but as grown-ups, yaknowwhatImean? I interviewed interior designers and best-selling authors and artists and party planners and rappers and highlighted pizza firetrucks and lego artists and…I loved it, but it always got a bit of a lackluster response with views and comments and whatnot. So I posted my last Grown-Up Gigs interview in Dec 2011…or so I thought.

In 2013, I’ll be going back to my roots as The When I Grow Up Coach (yes, there’ll be a longer post about that next month), and what I mean by that is: I won’t rest until all creative types can see the possibility in making a grown-up living doing what they love. I’m here to help creatives discover what it is they could do that they’d be passionate about, and a big part of that is knowing – really knowing, really trusting – that others have done it. Are doing it. As grown-ups. Without day jobs. Or trust funds.

I wanna talk to those people. I wanna send that message. I wanna know how they discovered their passionate career, and how they’re making it work as grown-ups. There will be talk about money. There will be talk about experience. There will be talk about paths (not) taken and lessons learned and there will be time for live Q&A, too.
