Overcoming Anxiety and Thriving Through a Twisty Career: Emma Rosenblum

from The Messy Parts · host with Maryam Banikarim

Job opportunities in her industry faded away slowly and then all of a sudden. So Emma Rosenblum committed to her side hustle and found a way to pivot into a new career altogether – she wrote a book.  A literary agent rejected it as "too mean,” but she found a way through. Then, when her manuscript accidentally leaked to her real-life community (the location of the book) with real residents' names still in it, the small-town drama was intense. Now a full-time novelist obsessively checking LinkedIn daily, Emma reveals how her competitive nature and insider-outsider perspective fuel both her satirical writing and her ongoing anxiety about what comes next.Show Notes: Guest: Emma Rosenblum, Author, Editor in ChiefFollow Emma on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/emma-rosenblum/Topics CoveredAnxiety, Financial Insecurity, Health Worries, Motherhood, Work-Life Dramas, Side Hustles, Writing and Publishing, Being CompetitiveMentionedGlamour Magazine, New York Magazine, Elle Magazine, Bloomberg, Bustle/Bustle Digital Group, Google, CAA, MetaKevin Kwan, Lucy Foley, Alexandra Machinist, Sarah Jessica Parker,Natasha Bedingfield, Allison Roman, Carlos Alcaraz Send us Fan MailEmail us: [email protected] stay up to date with The Messy Parts and get all the behind-the-scenes content, follow us on Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube.If you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe, leave a rating and review on Apple or Spotify or where ever you get your podcasts.Thank you for listening.
