What happens when the career path you’ve built no longer aligns with the life you want?
In this episode, Christine sits down with Abby Covert, information architecture expert, author, and founder of the Sense Makers Club, to explore what it means to walk away from traditional definitions of success and build something new.
After years of working in tech and teaching information architecture around the world, Abby made the decision in 2020 to leave her corporate role and create space to figure out what was next. What emerged was the Sensemakers Club, an evolving, community-driven experiment in learning, curiosity, and connection.
Christine and Abby discuss:
- Why “making sense” is an ongoing process, not a fixed outcome
- How community creates confidence, not just connection
- The reality of leaving (or staying in) tech in today’s market
- The tension between values-driven work and financial sustainability
- Why many mid-career professionals may need to build beyond a single job
- What it means to redefine success on your own terms
This conversation is deeply relevant for anyone questioning their path, navigating uncertainty, or trying to design a more expansive and aligned life.
