[Paulette Perhach, what’s coming up]: Letting go of steady client work to focus on your own writing and offerings Ep 1160

Finding the Throughline with Kate Hanley

Warning–there’s at least one swear word in today’s episode and it’s coming up quick. If you’re listening with sensitive ears--either yours or someone else’s--within earshot, this is your heads up.

My guest this week is award-winning journalist and author, Paulette Perhach. Paulette has written two essays that have gone viral, including “A Story of a Fuck Off Fund,” which was included in the anthology Freshman Year of Life.

Paulette is also the author of the book “Welcome to the Writer’s Life,” host of a virtual writing salon that’s called A Very Important Meeting, and a one-on-one writing coach.

We talked about:

- Her semi-famous roommate in NYC (where she moved two months ago)

- Why people who are making their way outside the corporate world are her heroes

- Why she’s planning to quit ghostwriting and make all her money from her own writing and programs

- The gift she received from a client that has her rethinking her revenue streams

- Dealing with the loss that can accompany transformation

- How practical jokes relate to her desire to earn more money

- The series she’s re-watching

- The best sound in the world
