I had the very same thoughts when I wrote on Medium. I'm a personal essay writer at heart but also adore animals and nature. My day job has always been as a parenting and health writer and editor, but I also am falling in love with writing poetry. When I was pondering the same questions that you have here, I came across a word I had never heard before: multipotentialite. There is a name for being fascinated with many things and not sticking to one niche. I think I'm going to write whatever comes to mind here.
Such a brilliant article Jane, I love the way you write. And you did wedding stationery and favours too - that's how i started! (I still have my business but winding it down now in the hope of building up Her Handmade Hustle my mentoring one!)
I think you have so many interesting things to say that you can dip into whatever topic you feel is relevant at that time when you write. People have so much expertise and experience in many areas and we have a lot to share! I tend to pick one topic a week (so last week for example it was about comfort zones) and then write or talk about it on my podcast from a personal and professional point of view. I like to mix it up a bit!
I love what you write so keep doing it, that's all I actually wanted to say!
Hi Joanne, thank you so much. That is really helpful. I have had a nose around your Handmade Hustle website and also your Etsy store. Not stalking you, I promise 🤣 I really enjoy your podcasts and articles, was listening to the one about 5 questions last night. It has made me really think about how I present the upcoming website for the wedding stuff. I do like the wedding world, will you miss it? This feels more like an adventure now that I can mix it up a bit!
What a wonderful word! Thank you for sharing that. Maybe we should start a “not a niche’ club 🤣

Just be you and all you are. That works for me.
Good going with your ventures!
