It’s one thing to decide to pursue your creative interests and passions, but it’s another when you start to question the sustainability of a particular creative path. Mel Czaykowsky had crafted an envious career Broadway Touring when she started to wonder if the path ahead was still the one she wanted to be on. Against the wishes of those around her, she made a reverse pivot—transitioning from a successful career on Broadway to kickstart a new path in HR.
In this episode of Sōl Talk, Simone sits down with Mel to discuss the pivotal moments when you know it’s time to move on, how to handle the reactions from others, and what it looks and feels like to return to creative work after a stint in corporate America. Tune in to gain valuable insights on navigating career shifts and finding fulfillment in new paths.
