Have you ever felt like you’ve done all the research, read all the books, and still don’t know what’s next in your career? That was Dionna – until she took a leap and found clarity in an unexpected way.

In this episode, she shares her journey of leaving corporate banking and discovering a new path in ghostwriting. She talks about the struggles of figuring out her next move, the doubts she had about making a career shift, and how faith and our career coaching program helped her connect the dots.

We discuss:

• How Dionna transitioned from banking to ghostwriting and found career clarity in just 2 months  

• The role of faith in career decisions and how prayer played a key part in her journey  

• Overcoming fear and doubt when making a big career change  

• How Dionna is building a ghostwriting career by identifying industry needs

If you’re thinking about switching careers, exploring freelance writing, or just wondering if there’s something better out there for you, this episode is for you.

Cheering you on,

Kelsey Kemp & Audrey Bagarus
