So, I Quit My Day Job

So, I Quit My Day Job

Author: 9Podcasts Language: English Episodes: 100
Ever have one of those days where the thought of quitting your job feels less like a fantasy and more like a necessary escape? So, I Quit My Day Job is built on that very real feeling, exploring what happens long after the dramatic exit. Hosted by Cathrine Mahoney, who walked away from her own secure career, this isn't about glorifying the act of quitting. Instead, it's a deep, practical look at the reinvention that follows. Each episode feels like a candid conversation with someone who has actually taken that leap, dissecting not just the triumphant moments but the messy, uncertain, and often terrifying ones in between. You'll hear firsthand accounts of career pivots, the financial and emotional recalibrations required, and the surprising lessons learned when a planned path dissolves. This podcast from 9Podcasts serves as both a source of inspiration and a reality check, blending personal narrative with actionable insight for anyone contemplating a major professional change. It’s for the dreamers who also need a plan, offering substance in the self-improvement and business categories by focusing on real stories of transformation. Tune in to understand the full arc of starting over, from the initial doubt to the hard-won clarity that builds a new, more fulfilling chapter.
