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.

Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Two weeks ago, I seriously questioned ending my career break.
In this episode, I’m walking you through what actually happened when I was invited to explore two sales roles I would’ve jumped at a year ago.
In This Episode:
- Why being wanted and “in demand” messed with my head more than I expected
- The bargaining spiral and pros/cons list I went through
- Where I got starry-eyed about saying “yes”, and what it would have meant for this season of my life
- The uncomfortable truth this choice surfaced about my values
