Work In Progress Podcast

Work In Progress is a podcast interviewing guests who successfully changed careers. We talk about the struggles and lessons they learned along the way. We believe that life is a never-ending journey where one needs to constantly reinvent themselves and the same goes for careers. Based on this belief, we started our blog, in which we write about transitions in career and life and this led to the birth of our podcast in 2019. New episodes are published every other Wednesday!

Ana Tajder is a WIP: from Marketing Manager to Author, Journalist & Podcast Host

January 20, 2021 • Dana & Angela

Ana's Career Change
Marketing to Author, Journalist, and Podcast Host

About Her
Ana used to work in marketing until she experienced burn out from her job and HAD TO quit for the sake of her health. She grew up in an artistic family but wanted a more "stable" career so she always looked elsewhere when it comes to career options. It wasn't until she embraced her artistic side that she realized she was meant to do this and, in her own words, "doors opened everywhere" when she started writing.
