Christina discusses her initial path in economics, culminating in a Ph.D., and her eventual realisation of burnout and dissatisfaction in the field. She elaborates on her reconnection with painting, a passion from her youth, and the steps she took towards making art her new career path, including strategic planning, engaging with social media, and gradually reducing her hours in her economics job to focus on art. The discussion also covers the importance of a supportive network, dealing with rejection and self-doubt, and the significance of finding joy and authenticity in one's work. Christina is the perfect example of a Toe dipper turned Leaper. 00:00 Welcome to Your Big Career Move! 00:27 Christina Kent's journey from Economics to Art 02:29 Identifying and overcoming burnout 05:56 Family support and strategic career transition 09:35 Embracing art full-time: a strategic approach 16:22 Building an art Career: from Instagram to YouTube 20:16 Embracing YouTube and growing a community 31:56 Reflections on success and support networks 36:31 The Full-Time Artist Life: challenges and Success You can find out more about Christina here: https://www.youtube.com/@christinakentart instagram.com/christinakentart #careerchange #career #careeradvice #yourbigcareermove
