Rebuilding my career, a health scare and the messy middle

So why am I doing this? So...

I guess after 15 years in the media, I didn't want to start again.

I had found a space and a career I loved.

I love being behind a microphone.

I love interviewing people.

I love talking about pop culture.

And I didn't want to say goodbye to that.

But also there wasn't really an opportunity where I could continue to do those things.

So here I am creating that.

And hopefully it works.

So how did I end up here? So as I mentioned before, I was made redundant.

And why didn't I just go and get another job? Well, I was actually offered a few jobs and they were, funnily enough, back in radio.

Maybe I'll go into it another time, but there are a few things about them that just weren't right.

One of them, well, two of them were location and I'm not against relocating for a job, especially a good media job, but the relocations that I would have had to have done.

First of all, one of them was overseas and I have an elderly dog who has arthritis and yeah, I just, she could not have handled that move.

And the other one just, you know, it was a good opportunity, but it was not somewhere that I, I wanted to live.

Um, So, yeah, and I'm not against getting another job.

In fact, I actually did apply for a job.

I didn't even make it to the interview round, which was a little disheartening.

And maybe that didn't work out for a reason.
