Real Time Creator | A Career Break Diary
I spent years chasing success and money while shelving my creative dreams. I was a $200K+ earner in tech and a secret weapon inside of a 7-figure creator business. Then EVERYTHING changed.
I decided to give myself a minimum 1 YEAR career break and creative sabbatical to reinvent my life.
I'm Alison Kinsey, and each week I share a raw and unfiltered glimpse into my career break, money transparency after getting laid off, and the messy work of creative reinvention. I also share the stories of other inspiring women who have built a portfolio career after a career pivot.
If you've been asking yourself, "is this IT for my life?!" this is your weekly voice note to inspire you through the in-between.

This is a transparent, behind-the-scenes look at my first 30 days of podcasting. I’m spilling the download numbers, the unexpected surprises and freak-outs, and how putting my “journal” out in the world is already opening doors I didn’t even pitch for.
In This Episode:
- The exact mental block that made YouTube feel impossible even though I had ideas ready to go
- How many downloads I expected to get, vs. how many I actually got
- Why a podcast felt “frictionless” compared to YouTube and what got me to actually hit record
- The 4 things that are still “keeping me up at night” about this podcast
