Sara No Socks

Sara spent almost 20 years in healthcare - switching jobs from administrator to nurse to corporate innovation and amassing degrees all along the way. But while working on the innovation team, she realized she’d rather be doing the job of the designer on the team. So she quit her job without a plan, only to find that building up a new skillset and trying to get clients at the start of COVID was not going to plan.

Sara knew that she couldn’t be the only person in this position but she couldn’t find anyone else being open and vulnerable about it. So many creators claimed to be self-sustaining. So she decided to share her journey online, first on Instagram, then on Twitter and YouTube and in her podcast Talks With SaraNoSocks, where she has honest conversations with other creatives about their emotional, mental and financial struggles. Her journey chronicling her own struggles, led her to start an entire community helping emerging creatives.

A self-described “chronic re-starter”, Sara, like many of our guests on the podcast, sees her career as additive, not a straight line.
