In this episode of The Art of Self, I’m joined by Jen, a professional face painter who made the unexpected leap from a corporate career in finance into a creative business in her forties.

We explore what it looks like to step away from the life you thought you should live, and instead follow what genuinely lights you up. Jen shares her journey of rediscovering creativity through motherhood, the challenges of starting over, and how choosing a different path has completely transformed her sense of self.

This conversation touches on identity, self-expression, neurodiversity, and the balance between financial security and soul-led work. It’s an honest and inspiring reminder that creativity doesn’t disappear—it simply waits for you to come back to it.

If you’ve ever felt the pull to do something different, this episode will leave you questioning what’s possible when you choose alignment over expectation.
