Call it algorithm bias, but in the world of social media some people seem meant to show up in your feed, today’s guest is a perfect example.

You’ll hear all about it in the episode, but in short, I connected with Kimberley Turner Eng, my guest for today’s episode, via a LinkedIn update she shared that went viral. In it, she talked about taking a break from her long career with Nike and Amazon to reset.

This makes today’s episode is a little different, as I’m chatting with Kimberly while she’s on said career sabbatical - she hasn’t started a business, or made any firm moves to retrain in a new field, she’s simply taking a break from her career to clear her head and realign with her values – which is the place I was in through early 2020.

Kimberly shares the story of how she came to this decision, how she planned for it, and what it’s been like to proudly own her status of “on a break”

So, if you’re craving some space to think, want to really get to know yourself, and think taking a pause might be just what you need - you’ll really love this chat!

A business podcast for the brave self-employed.

Growing your own business can be one of the most gratifying, wonderful, life-changing experiences around. It’s also scary as hell. This is a weekly podcast for the ones who have made the brave decision to employ themselves anyway.

We're for the full gamut of business experience - from Solopreneurs, Side-hustlers, Micro-business, Small Business, Medium business, Independent, VC backed, Bootstrapped and more - here for the real stories and priceless insights of it all, well beyond the PR headlines.

Join fellow business-builder and side-hustler Kim Kerton as she dives into the realities of starting something from scratch, helping you feel less alone in the lows and reminding you of the highs that make it all worthwhile. Hear real talk and raw feels from people right in the thick of it and feel seen as you listen.

Small business is tough - all business is tough - it will be one of the most intense things you'll ever do but it will also be the most impactful experience you can imagine. So surround yourself with a community of business owners willing to share with you their learnings, from those a few steps ahead, to many business milestones ahead, and even those just behind, and feel supported to build the business of your unique dreams. 

This is a podcast built to support you to build your own small business, to tackle the statistics and keep more of us in business for ourselves. To say thanks, you can support this independent podcast and small business by shouting your host a cuppa at buymeacoffee.com/unemployedpod
