210. Part Time Social Worker, Part Time Copywriter - Alicia's Story

Every time we talk with Comprehensive Copywriting Academy students, Kate and I leave feeling inspired. That’s exactly what it was like talking to Alicia.  From a young age, Alicia knew she wanted to help people. It’s what got her into social work. But, like many of those in the social work field, Alicia faced extreme burnout. On this episode of the Build Your Copywriting Business podcast, Alicia is sharing her story, including how she transitioned from social work to copywriting, how her social work skills lend themselves to copywriting, and how she pushed past self-imposed roadblocks. Hint: it’s OK to take messy action—as long as you’re taking action!  Alicia is proving that some careers don’t have to be full-time careers. Sometimes, you can put together a full-time career out of two part-time careers. So, I’d encourage you to listen to this episode for a little inspiration. Ask yourself, like Alicia did, “what do you want life to look like?”  --------------- Mentioned in the Episode Building Your Portfolio Copywriting by Working With Small BusinessesEp. 114: Hate Writing Your Own Portfolio?
