She Left Her PR Career To Write What Actually Mattered - Here's What Happened with Guest Nina Medić

from Building a Creative Life with Pam Vale · host Pam Vale

What happens when you stop writing to perform and start writing to connect? In this conversation, Nina opens up about her creative pivot, from a career in journalism and PR to writing freely on Substack. We talk about losing your voice, finding it again, and why travel, journaling, and community can change everything. If you’re craving a slower, more honest relationship with your creativity, this one’s for you.Key Takeaways:* Traveling opens up new perspectives and inspires creativity.* It's important to build a supportive community around your creative work.* Everyone has a unique voice that can resonate with others.About NinaI’m a writer with a background in journalism and PR, currently rediscovering the joy of writing as a personal, creative practice. I first started writing as a kid. Short stories and essays were my way of making sense of the world around me. I wanted to use my words in a more engaging way, which eventually led me to study journalism and work in the field for nearly a decade before moving into PR. But during that time, especially in PR, writing became a job, and I lost touch with the part of me that wrote for expression, not performance.Now, through personal storytelling and my Substack newsletter, I’m finding my way back to creativity – slowly and deliberately. I believe writing doesn’t have to be perfect or impressive to be meaningful. It just needs to be honest. I’m especially passionate about encouraging women to reconnect with their voices, find art in small everyday details, and start (or restart) their creative journey.Connect with NinaSubstack: https://substack.com/@ninamedic LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nina-medic-5696bb19a/About Pam Vale (host):Artist, Author & Creative GuidePam is a seasoned artist and creative instructor with almost 40 years of professional experience.
