Tea Time with Janice

In this episode, the VP of Marketing and Network at a MAJOR creative agency talks about divine timing — how career detours, setbacks, and pivots often lead you exactly where you’re meant to be.

We get real about the uncertainty of building a creative career, what it’s like to turn your passion into your full-time job, and how to keep going when success doesn’t follow a straight line.
PLUS!! Find out how Iona learned metaphors... let’s just say, “Don’t take my heart and put it on a shelf.” (iykyk)

If you’ve ever felt like you’re starting over in your late 20s, still trying to find your passion, or wondering how you can be “successful” and still feel unfulfilled — this episode is for you. Whether you’re questioning career choices or just trying to figure it all out... I'm with you!

I’m backkkkk! Just a 28-year-old small potato stumbling through a never-ending quarter-life crisis, figuring out where I fit. Join me as I talk about being an intern at 28, reaching a career “pinnacle” that didn’t feel fulfilling, and navigating what the next chapter really looks like.
