Ep. 28 - Ditching corporate for content creation

Darci is joined this week by Michela Allocca, who ditched her 9 to 5 career for life as a content creator. Michela has built a business through teaching others the ins and outs of personal finance through her platform Break Your Budget, where she has amassed a large and loyal following. In their conversation, Michela also dives into what she was doing before becoming a full-time content creator (and how much $$$ she made), what motivated her to leave her job and her decision process, and life as an author - her new book hits shelves on June 20th!Plus, in this week’s Career Column, Darci discusses how to talk about a recent layoff in an interview and how to talk to your boss about burnout. And then, to wrap up, Darci shares one of the craziest travel stories of all time (spoiler alert: it’s a story with a positive outcome and we’re all jealous of her).====================Check us out!Follow the Down & Dirty pod on IG: instagram.com/thedownanddirtypodcastSubscribe to the Down & Dirty pod on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@downanddirtypod Follow Darci on IG: instagram.com/careercoachdarciFollow Raimee on IG: instagram.com/raimeetravel/ Check out Michela’s website: breakyourbudget.comFollow Michela on TikTok: tiktok.com/@breakyourbudget?lang=en Follow Michela on Instagram: instagram.com/breakyourbudget/ Pre-order Michela’s book:  breakyourbudget.com/book Brought to you by onomy: Check out onomy: https://onomy.co/Follow onomy on IG: instagram.com/onomy.co
