Creative Career Change
S4 E3: Jennie Godfrey
Jennie and I first met back in 2023 at a creativity retreat with Emma Gannon and Tanya Lynch . Jennie’s debut novel ‘The List of Suspicious Things’ was not yet out in the world and I had just left my 16 year teaching career behind. Change was afoot. Since then, Jennie’s world has turned on its head and she is now a Sunday Times bestselling author of two books and is currently writing her third. I was delighted when Jennie said yes to sharing her career journey here on the Creative Career Change podcast. “I felt like in that moment I'd admitted something to him that I hadn't admitted to myself.” - Jennie Godfrey Links and mentions * Jennie’s brilliant Substack, The Crow’s Nest : * The List of Suspicious Things by Jennie Godfrey * The Barbecue at No. 9 by Jennie Godfrey * The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron * On Writing by Stephen King * Follow Jennie Godfrey on Instagram A note from Hannah I’m aware that those in the thick of a career change, who have left a job or taken a pay cut, may not have the means to pay to listen and so the Creative Career Change podcast will always be free to all subscribers. I hope the conversations may inspire positive change and the pursuit of creativity and balance. I’ve created the resource that I wish had been available to me several years ago when I felt trapped by my job. Making this podcast is a labour of love and I do everything myself. This includes finding guests, writing questions, recording the conversation, editing, mixing, composing music and publishing the episode. By becoming a paid subscriber, you help to ensure I can continue to record new episodes and make the Creative Career Change podcast available to all who might be inspired by it. Alternatively, if you’d prefer to make a one-off contribution to the podcast you can buy me a coffee here . I’m hugely grateful for all and any contributions! Thank you.
