Ambition Within Cynicism: Organizing Creative Chaos with Abbi Miller

This week, I talk to business strategist Abbi Miller about navigating pivots in both personal and professional life. Abbi was on the podcast five years ago, and her perspective on time management, which she calls Time Pessimism, is a concept I’ve found helpful ever since. Since then, much has changed for her both personally and collectively (including becoming a mom). In this episode, we catch up on everything she’s learned since then, including how to work with the muse when it strikes and how she sets up systems to support that flow. We also discuss how to deal with cynicism and find ambition again, and her strategies for effective quarterly goal-setting. Plus, Abbi gets me to open up about some of my own career changes and how I’ve been navigating them within my life. And you can hear me talk about it more on her show, where she had me on as a guest too.   Show notes: - Abbi's Workwomb Instagram | Podcast - Free 30-min consult with Abbi to chat about working together - My Substack | IG: @letitouttt + @katiedalebout - Zine shop is here! - My Creative Clinic   If you liked this episode, try out from the archive: In Abbi's previous episode, we covered her pivot from full-time work to freelancing, navigating burnout, and the importance of support in both business and personal life.
