Today on the pod I chat to delightful Sarah Parry-Okeden. A mutual friend connected us explaining Sarah's story would be perfect for So, I Quit and she was spot on! Always artistic, it is no surprise that Sarah ended up in the world of interiors. Starting out as a graphic designer, then inadvertently ending up in fashion, Sarah left Sydney for the US where she went on to further her creative passion, studying photography. It wasn’t until she began her own renovation that her true passion was unearthed... I will let her tell you her fabulous story. If you want to follow Sarah on social media or find out more about her business you can at @wildorchidspaces and www.wildorchidspaces.com Enjoy x

Sarah Parry-Okeden Graphic Designer to Property and Interior Designer

Let’s be honest… on bad days, we’ve all dreamt of marching into the boss's office and saying with undeniable conviction, “I quit”.
There are days when we want to throw in the towel, when we imagine what could’ve been if only we’d wandered down a different career path.
Despite what you may think, it’s never too late to make a change, to reinvent yourself, to follow your dreams… just like Cathrine Mahoney did.
Cathrine left her cushy job as a celebrity publicist to make it as an author. Spoiler alert - she got the book deal and published her first book, Currently Between Husbands, and on top of that, she also started a podcast.
So, I Quit My Day Job, hosted by Cathrine Mahoney, is a podcast inspired by people from all walks of life who share one thing in common; they took a leap of faith and quit their day jobs in pursuit of their dream gig.
From Hairdresser to Crime Scene Cleaner, or Media Sales to Yogi, each episode is a celebration of those who bravely tossed it all in and followed their heart.

We've had plenty of fascinating guests with the most unbelievable careers on this podcast... But what about a sex spy?
