S2 E1: Lucy Scovell

From London to Istanbul: journalism, motherhood, interior design and more.
Cross-post from Chez Hanny
Hi everyone, I hope you are all well. I was absolutely thrilled to guest on Hannah Ashe's latest series of Creative Career Change, which explores the joys and challenges of multi-hyphenate life. We chatted about all sorts of things, from juggling deadlines and establishing multiple income streams, to growing self-confidence, navigating overwhelm and setting boundaries. Which leads me to the summer...as I took a super short mat leave (something we discuss at length in the episode) I'll be taking a break from posting on here to spend some much-needed time with my family. Enjoy the episode and I look forward to seeing you all soon. Love Lucy x P.s. I'd love to hear your thoughts as well as you own career stories! -

The new series of Creative Career Change is here, complete with a new logo and a few changes here and there!

I’m thrilled to share these interviews with multi-hyphenate women as we explore the challenges, the joys and everything in between of navigating a variety of income steams.

I’d read about the term ‘multi-hyphenate’ some years back, and the idea of it hugely appealed to me. At that time, I was working in a full-time teaching job with no idea how I could make it a reality. And yet, here I am now earning my living from at least five different methods.

In this episode I talk to arts, design and travel journalist

who was catapulted into multi-hyphenate life after an unexpected move to Istanbul.

I'm a huge fan of Lucy’s ‘Lucy Loves’ series of writing on her Substack where she shortlists things to see, do and book each month. The June edition is out now and has some excellent recommendations for London and beyond.

“I had no choice, I had to dive in and really give it a go. Sometimes I think, of course you’d have been able to do that if you’d stayed in London. And then I think no, I wouldn’t have done. I’d have been too scared. So, sometimes a little helping hand or a push is what’s needed to make you do that jump, but I’m so glad that was how part of my path has turned out.“ — Lucy Scovell

A note from the author

I’m aware that those in the thick of a career change, who have left a job or taken a pay cut, may not have the means to pay to listen and so my Creative Career Change podcast will always be free to all subscribers. I hope the conversations may inspire others to make changes in the way they approach their work in order to seek more balance in their life.

Making this podcast is a labour of love and I do everything myself. This includes finding guests, writing questions, recording the conversation, editing, mixing, composing music and publishing the episode.

Upgrade to paid: support future episodes

By becoming a paid subscriber, you help to ensure I can continue to record new episodes and make the Creative Career Change podcast available to all who need it.

Thank you.

Hannah x

p.s. Lucy and I would love to hear your thoughts on this episode as well your own career stories. Please do share in the comments.
