So, I Quit My Day Job

Let’s be honest… on bad days, we’ve all dreamt of marching into the boss"s office and saying with undeniable conviction, “I quit”. There are days when we want to throw in the towel, when we imagine what could’ve been if only we’d wandered down a different career path. Despite what you may think, it’s never too late to make a change, to reinvent yourself, to follow your dreams… just like Cathrine Mahoney did. Cathrine left her cushy job as a celebrity publicist to make it as an author. Spoiler alert
