Episode 10: Capturing Life Moments Through the Lens | Alicia Hickey
TUNE IN: APPLE PODCASTS | SPOTIFY | STITCHER
Do you feel that? That thing deep inside your soul, wanting to be free…
That’s your passion you’ve been holding back. Pursuing hobbies and interests you’re passionate about can reduce stress and bring you deep fulfillment. But if you have a full-time job or other big responsibilities, you may feel like you have to hold back on doing what you love. This episode is for anyone who wants to follow their passion without quitting their day job.
Today’s guest is Chicago photographer (and my former roommate!) Alicia Hickey. As a logical, analytically-minded person, Alicia didn’t see herself as creative. She has a full-time job in finance after all. But she’s a photographer on the side… and she loves it! In my conversation with her, she talks about how she got started in photography and how she manages her life with her full-time job and photography side hustle.
Alicia gets the best of both worlds: a stable job she genuinely likes, and a photography biz that lets her creativity run free. She also has a love of travel and is eager to share that with the world. This episode will motivate you to live life to the fullest, prioritize what matters most, and let out your creative side. Enjoy!
