Eight weeks ago, Gemma left her job with 24 hours’ notice, expecting to take on another child through kinship foster care. That didn’t happen (for reasons she can’t go into), but what did happen was a huge wake-up call. She realised she couldn’t go back to the way things were.

In this episode, Gemma talks about taking the scariest risk of her career - walking away from a job and colleagues she adored with financial security to focus on her own creative work. 

The Honest to Gob podcast is growing, her content’s gone viral, and it is working… just not financially. Yet. So she’s clinging to her new mantra: “I don’t know how, but I allow.”

Because stepping away from the grind has made her calmer, more present, and genuinely happier. It’s improved her marriage, her parenting, and her mental health. Now she just needs to figure out how to pay the mortgage without resorting to selling hairy bumhole pics on OnlyFans.
