Do you have a passion or dream that you want to make a reality but don’t have the courage to make the necessary changes?
In this episode of the Women Living Well After 50 Podcast, my guest today is Joanne Tracey, an author and friend of mine, who has recently made some changes in her life to follow her passion full time. During the conversation we discussed:
- How to juggle a full-time day job with following her passion as an author
- What considerations did Jo make when leaving her full time job to pursue full time writing
- There is no ‘right time’ to start
- Overcoming ‘fear’ of change
- Overcoming the ‘naysers’ who view her passion as just a hobby
- How to structure your time and avoid procrastination
- The need to commit to your passion and take it seriously because if you don’t others certainly won’t
Joanne Tracey is an Australian author of contemporary women’s fiction and cosy culinary mysteries inspired by her travels, a love of baking, and her devotion to British cosy crime TV shows.
Based on the Sunshine Coast in South-East Queensland, Jo is an unapologetic daydreamer, eternal optimist, and confirmed morning person.
When she isn’t writing, Jo loves baking, reading, long walks along the beach, posting way too many photos of sunrises on Instagram and dreaming of the next destination and the next story.
Jo’s life goals (apart from being a world-famous author) are to be an extra on Midsomer Murders and to cook her way through Nigella’s books.
