Honing In

Navigating multiple career paths simultaneously may seem fragmented, stressful, and a nightmare for calendar scheduling, but Taylor Elyse Morrison, a portfolio careerist and PhD student who believes people build identity through action and interaction, is here to show us that it’s quite the opposite.

As a neurodivergent, multi-passionate person, the challenge of balancing various projects creates the precise level of interest that Taylor needs to stay fully engaged in her work. Plus, the flexibility of being a portfolio careerist allows for designing a life that supports self-exploration and self-care…both of which Taylor is deeply passionate about.

In today’s episode, we explore what it means to build a portfolio career, and how diversifying both income streams and skillsets has created the room for Taylor to pursue multiple degrees and dive deep into what it means to be a leader in today’s social climate.

Together, we hone in on:

  • What a Portfolio Career is and how Taylor has intentionally configured hers 
  • How building a portfolio career has supported Taylor’s neurodivergence 
  • Multical as a solution for overlapping schedules and how Taylor created it
  • The importance of leaving behind archives as a portfolio careerist 
  • What Change Leadership is and why Taylor pursued a PhD in the field
