Real Time Creator | A Career Break Diary
I spent years chasing success, money, and shelving my creative dreams. I was a $200K+ earner in tech and a secret weapon inside of a 7-figure creator business. Then I got laid off, and EVERYTHING changed.
I’m Alison Kinsey and this is my real-time, voice note style diary for high achievers who are wondering "is this it for my life?!" Each week, you'll get a raw and unfiltered glimpse into my creative reinvention:
Career breaks, money transparency, entrepreneurship, and the courage it takes to choose a more interesting life.

We’re talking MONEY, baby! Today I’m walking you line by line through all the expenses I cut out of my budget to afford my new life on a creative career break, and the moment I realized that wanting to panic-sell my house wasn’t really about the house at all.
This solo episode is all about what happens when your sense of safety gets shaken, your identity cracks open, and your nervous system starts looking for control anywhere it can find it.
In This Episode:
- The lightbulb moment that stopped me from blowing up my life, and what it taught me about uncertainty
- Exactly how I cut over $1,500 a month from my budget, including the expenses that used to make me feel “successful”
- Why stretching my severance (and paying myself monthly from it) is giving me nervous-system safety
- A pep talk for anyone experiencing an “in between” phase, a career pivot, or ANY unknowns
