  • Résumé

  • A podcast about the adventure of career change, inviting guests to share their unique experiences of starting something completely new. We talk about what led them to making the decision, how things are going, what challenges they have come across, and what they really love about what they do. This podcast aims to share the ups and downs of change, the not knowing, to show the human side of career change and how different people handle it. Guests are encouraged to talk about their worries and challenges along the way so that listeners can relate to their experiences. Some of my guests are at the beginning or early stages of change and share their experiences of taking the first steps. We explore why people want change, why it can feel really difficult sometimes, how experiences differ, and how people are choosing creative and adventurous approaches. At the end of each episode my guests ask you, the listener, a question for you to take away and think about. This show is hosted by Sarah Lister, a career coach and mentor living in the Peak District, who works with people from an approach that is focused on freedom, creativity and a sense of adventure. Visit abouttheadventure.com to find out more about her work. To support this podcast, Sarah has opened a patreon community where people can connect to explore career change and to support each other.

    This episode is about choosing to live happily by dreaming your way there and making new decisions to steer the direction.

    Author Paul Besley talks about some of the challenges he has faced throughout his life, including alcoholism, bullying, a severe mountain accident, working in a high-pressure job as a salesman, and living with asbestosis disease. He shares what he has learned along the way and how he manages to find contentment through life’s challenges. Paul imparts his wisdom and advice in ways that feel relatable and attainable.

  • Jessica Sinclair - I’m definitely someone who has meandered a lot in my career

    Jessica Sinclair - I’m definitely someone who has meandered a lot in my career
    Sep 8 2024

    Can tarot help with making changes in your life? Jessica says tarot is for anyone who is interested in their personal development, open to something a bit different and just wants to learn more about themselves.

    This interview is about a meandering career that has led Jessica towards becoming a tarot reader. Her work includes 1:1 readings in person in Sheffield & online, as well as at markets, festivals, and private events, and workshops teaching people how to read tarot.

    As well as sharing her journey and how tarot can help people, Jessica talks about the challenges and fears she has worked through along the way. At the end she does a live tarot reading for me and offers you a question to explore.

  • Ranaa Farooq - I couldn’t envisage a way out of where I was

    Ranaa Farooq - I couldn’t envisage a way out of where I was
    Jun 9 2024

    Are you prepared to sacrifice your life for your job? Ranaa Farooq says that she’s not willing to, despite her fear of judgement the guilt she has felt about leaving the NHS and medicine in general.

    Ranaa Farooq is an abstract painter and life coach living in Sheffield, who describes the process of painting itself as therapy. In this interview she talks about her artistic journey and realisation that there’s more than one way of helping people.

    Some of the themes that we discuss include her dreams about being an artist while growing up, how she gets into a meditative space and lets herself be guided how she feels while painting, what it’s like having her own art studio, and the importance of taking a break. At the end she has a question for you that may prompt a new way of thinking about any changes you want to make in your own life.
