S03: E02 - Rachel Schofield’s Guide to Thriving in a Portfolio Career

The Parent Equation - with Ayesha Murray

Ever wondered if it's possible to combine your diverse interests into a fulfilling career? That's exactly what I discuss with my guest, Rachel Schofield, a seasoned career coach and author of the Career Change Guide. We dive into the concept of portfolio careers, which offer the freedom to blend various facets of your personality and explore a spectrum of passions.
Rachel imparts her wisdom on the benefits of these careers, such as increased autonomy and flexibility in scheduling. We highlight real-life examples of individuals who have successfully transitioned into portfolio careers, like a police officer who ventured into furniture designing and a graphic designer turned stone carver.
We also tackle the challenges and opportunities one might encounter when transitioning to a portfolio career. From the identity shift involved in moving from an employed to freelance role, to the imposter syndrome that can creep in when learning new skills, we cover it all. Rachel emphasizes the importance of establishing a clear purpose for the transition and remaining focused on the desired outcomes. We wrap up the conversation exploring the power of small, incremental changes and share useful resources for individuals contemplating a career shift.
