I spent two decades in corporate as head of marketing for an entertainment group.

I left that job due to burnout.

I pivoted to becoming a professional organizer and started a successful Instagram account and business.

Then I got divorced five years ago and had to return to the corporate world .

I went back to what I knew, working as a marketing consultant.

My contract ended eight months ago.

I expected it, but the job search to find a new marketing client has been tough.
