Raising 2 Kids, Writing for Nonprofits, and Going at Your Own Pace - Stevi's Story (Episode 236)

If you’ve followed the Comprehensive Copywriting Academy for any amount of time, you know there are as many ways to shape a copywriting career as there are copywriters.

Stevi’s story is the perfect example of how building your career in a way that works for you is essential to long-term success.

And what works for you may change. And then change again.

On this episode of the Build Your Copywriting Business podcast, Stevi is sharing how she made the decision to leave a nonprofit job she loved to pursue writing—even with two small children, a mortgage, and a pandemic thrown into the mix.

I’m going to be honest, I have no idea what we’re cracking up about in this photo, but I will say that this entire conversation with Stevi was a complete delight.

She shares how, like many of us!, she bounced around between various jobs to pay the bills, but kept coming back to building a career as a writer (she does have a degree in creative writing after all).

And, what was incredible to hear, was how Stevi and her husband got creative in how they approached their goals, their schedules, and their priorities so they could build their lives in a way that works for them.

Her story really highlights how incredible it is to have a career that allows you to pivot to fit your lifestyle in any given moment.
