    It seems like many of us are awaking… I left my full time office job 2 months ago to continue to focus on my artwork and business. Good luck Katie!!

    Just wear the dress Katie!! No matter the occasion, just wear it, it’s gorgeous! My mum was also saving a expensive makeup powder I got her when her old one was barely usable anymore and I asked her why and she said she wanted to wait until she finished the old one. And my response was “what if the shelf you keep the new expensive one falls down and it breaks and you can’t use it anymore?”. Create the occasion, don’t wait for it ❤

    Congratulations! I squealed when I saw your blog title. I'm so happy for you. I quit my job a few years back to write fulltime. It's amazing to see people making a living from the jobs that people tell you that you can't do!

    I also just quit my day job to pursue my art biz dreams 😱💕 I was doing software engineering and also knew deep down that it wasn’t end game. It depleted my physical and mental health until finally I saved up enough money to leave. Proud of you and everyone else who is putting their dreams and mental health first 🎉 Excited for all of our journeys!

    WOOP WOOP! Full time artist! You’re definitely there! Time to invest in an industrial round edge machine, lets save ourselves from RSI and increase productivity. You got this! ✨ Reading content please; also, do you keep a reading journal? Wooowhooo! A little reading journal, I’m gonna go get into your videos, talk soon!✨

    Yes! Congrats on making the leap of faith towards full time artistry and being your own boss. I’ve definitely had similar experiences when I quit my corporate job to pursue the life of a freelance artist and photography.
    PS. Can’t wait for your pop up shop event at Stump Philly. Will definitely get you some of my favorite coffee and goodies. See you in December! (Also you are a woman after my own heart.)

Also, love the bookmarks and book talk.I found this video really inspiring and it really gives me hope for my future that one day I can do the same. Do you think you can make a video in the future where you talk about how you positioned yourself financially and how you got yourself to a place where you could leave your day job?

    Maybe this is a Mandela effect situation but I distinctly remember you saying, when you took that job, that you were not planning on being in it forever and you didn't see yourself as the "corporate America" type, I just love that you figured it out as fast as you did. You're so young and when you're young that's the best time to chase what you love because you have plenty of time to recover if it doesn't pan out. I'm proud of you for sticking your neck out and taking a chance on YOU, rather than taking a chance on others doing right by you.
    All the best.
