About This Podcast

Thinking about making a career change but have no idea where to start? You’re not alone. Welcome to The Career Flipper, the podcast for anyone wondering, "What else is out there?". I’m Jenny Dempsey—your host and a fellow career flipper. I didn’t plan on changing careers, but after years in customer experience and a surprise layoff, I found myself asking, "How do people actually make big career moves? And more importantly, how do they keep going when it gets messy, overwhelming, and scary?" That curiosity led me to just ask people who have done it. To have real, honest conversations with people from all over the world who’ve made all kinds of career flips. Whether they started over in a new industry, turned a side hustle into a full-time gig, or made a total 180 to do something they actually love, their stories gave me ideas, inspiration, and even a little courage - so I figured they might give that to you too. Be sure to subscribe on your favorite podcast platform for new episodes every Thursday. Got your own flip story? I’d love to hear it!

What's the best that could happen?
