What began as a creative distraction from an unfulfilling day job soon turned into so much more: a daily delight, a visibility boost, and ultimately, the launchpad for an entirely new chapter in her career.

In this conversation, author and fellow career coach, Yolanda Owens, shares how a passion project became the launchpad for speaking gigs, business opportunities, and even a PBS web series (!!). We talk about the quiet power of visibility, the writing process, and why sharing your voice is an act of both strategy + service.

If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re “good enough” to write—or how creativity can open unexpected doors—this episode will give you the encouragement you need.
