What happens when the career you built starts to feel like it’s slowly burning you out?

Kesha Omarali was working in tech and startups — ticking all the “right” boxes — until burnout, self-doubt and a growing sense of misalignment forced her to rethink everything.

In this conversation, she shares how she made the leap from corporate life into becoming a full-time artist and content creator, and what it actually takes to rebuild your identity from scratch.

We go beyond the highlight reel of “following your passion” and get into the real emotional and practical side of a creative career pivot: the fear of starting over, the discomfort of being seen online, and the messy process of figuring it out in public.

Kesha also breaks down how she’s built a creative business from the ground up — including how she approaches brand collaborations, pricing her work, growing on social media, and staying grounded in authenticity while still thinking strategically.

This is a conversation about creativity, but also about identity, money, confidence and learning to trust yourself again after burnout.

Most people wouldn't put "sorting parcels at 18" on their highlight reel. Claire would — because that job taught her everything about resilience, people and showing up even when nobody's watching.

In this episode, Claire shares a career journey that spans twenty years in the travel industry, redundancy, health challenges, and an unexpected pivot into content creation — not because it was planned, but because she had something real to say and people needed to hear it.

We talk about what early, unglamorous jobs actually teach you, why authenticity on social media will always outlast perfection, and how Claire built a loyal community around accessibility advocacy without compromising who she is along the way.

We also get into the practical stuff — brand partnerships, knowing when to say no, and why your story matters infinitely more than your follower count.

Warm, honest and genuinely galvanising — this one's a reminder that every chapter of your career is building something, even when it doesn't feel like it.

⚡ What we cover: → From postal sorting office to twenty year travel industry career → Navigating redundancy, health challenges and starting over → The pivot into content creation — unplanned, authentic and community driven → Why the unglamorous early jobs are often the most formative → Building a loyal audience through real, unfiltered content → Accessibility advocacy and using your platform to genuinely educate → Brand partnerships, integrity and knowing when to say no → Why your story and life experience are your greatest creative assets
