Giving Up The Law For A Happier Career - Ann Currie

What happens when the career you worked so hard for no longer fits the life you are living? In this episode of The Engaging Marketeer, Ann Currie shares her story of leaving the legal profession after nearly 20 years when she hit burnout, and questioned everything she thought success was supposed to look like. She and Darren discuss the warning signs she ignored, the pressure of long hours and expectations and how a need for freedom led her to rethink work entirely - leaving behind the courtrooms for camper vans! If you have ever felt stuck in a career that looks good on paper but feels wrong day to day, this conversation will resonate. Discover practical insights, hard earned lessons and reassurance that it is possible to change direction without having everything figured out in advance. More about Ann: Ann Currie is a former solicitor who made a bold career shift in search of a happier, more balanced working life. After nearly 20 years in law, she left the profession following burnout and went on to build her own camper van rental business, using it as a practical way to learn marketing, websites, and social media from the ground up. Ann now works in marketing and communications, primarily supporting smaller businesses and events that do not have in-house teams or large budgets, bringing a strong focus on clarity, consistency, accessibility, and brand voice.
