Che Johnson: Navigating the Career Change Journey from Social Worker to Soulful Copywriter

Welcome to the second episode Pursuit of Purpose!

Today, I’m thrilled to introduce you to the amazing Che Johnson, soulful copywriter extraordinaire, so you can learn more about her career transition and how she made the leap from social worker to copywriter.

Che and I met back when blogging was a thing and have remained in touch, all of these years later. When I was thinking about who I wanted to bring on the show, I immediately thought of Che, because not only is her story incredibly inspiring, but she’s also an all around amazing human.

In this episode we chat about – 

• How Che followed the well-trodden path from school to university, to getting a job as a social worker; and which soon revealed that this path wasn’t going to make her happy.
• Why being ‘good at something’ and ‘liking something enough’, doesn’t make for a fulfilling career that aligns with your purpose; and the long road it took to figure this out.
• The clear warning signs that made Che realize she was in the wrong career.
• The small step that Che made that led her to rediscovering her passions and that changed the course of her career.
• How taking small steps in the direction of what lights you up, even if you’re not sure where they will lead, can create momentum that will propel you towards the work you’re meant for.
• How Che’s  ‘accidental’ career change came about and the pivotal moment she realized she could get paid for doing work she loved; that felt in flow and that was deeply aligned with her values.
• How Che was able to make the transition by taking on side jobs along the way that enabled her ultimately do the work that she was meant for.
• The simple decision Che made to start to choose differently for herself and in her career.
• Why getting clear on your values and honoring them is key to designing a deeply fulfilling career.
• The importance of knowing and trusting yourself to make aligned decisions on your career path.
• Che’s daily practices and rituals that support her tuning into her body’s innate wisdom and settle her nervous system.
• How Che navigated the challenges on her career change journey and how she was able to stay the course, despite these obstacles that came up on her path.
• The stark contrast in how Che’s life looks today, compared with her past career and the place of joy and contentment in which she now lives her life.

… And so much more.

I hope you love this episode as much as I do!
