When I Grow Up is a podcast hosted by me, Katie Philo. Each episode, I interview a guest about the trials, tribulations and joys of growing up. Whether you want to be a writer, lawyer, actor, farmer or still have no idea… it’s always reassuring hearing about the twists and turns in other people’s paths. Dialling it back to those childhood dreams and subsequent journeys, we’ll discuss how they arrived at their current destination, what they’ve learned along the way, as well as their remaining hopes and dreams. I’ll also interview a number of career coaches to understand how to find your passion and way in life. I want to show people that it’s OK to be unsure. It’s OK to have moments of failure, indecision – and of course success. After all, we’re all still figuring it out and forever growing up.

Refinery 29's Lucie Fink: Creating the Perfect Job & Swapping Neuroscience for Media
"A lot of my friends seemed to be in that boat where everything was sort of linear and I was just weaving. I definitely was stressed but if I have a takeaway from it, it's that the stress didn't help me figure it out at all."
My guest this week is Video Producer, Lifestyle Host and Stop Motion Artist Extraordinaire, Lucie Fink. With a career that reads like a modern-day Millennial fairy-tale, Lucie wrote up her dream job description and the role was created for her at the digital media company Refinery 29\. Such magic, however, does not happen without one hell of a lot of hard work, undeniable talent and ambition. Driven by a relentless curiosity and enthusiasm for connecting with others, Lucie breathes colour into everything she creates.
For almost three years, she’s filled Refinery 29’s YouTube and social media channels, with a string of astoundingly successful series such as ‘Try Living with Lucie’, where she takes on social experiments for five days at a time. Whether it’s 5 days of eating nothing but pizza or 5 days of wearing the same outfit, Lucie throws herself in hook, line and sinker.
In this episode, Lucie talks all about how she found her calling and the life-changing decisions she's made along the way. From switching from neuroscience to creative writing, taking the plunge to join a company she not yet heard of, and introducing new challenges to her life on a regular basis in her YouTube series 'Try Living with Lucie'. She also shared invaluable advice to anyone wanting to see where their creativity could take them. She may only be 25 years old, but Lucie has buckets full of wisdom to share.
