From Lawyer to Creative Expressionist

Crystal Storm thought she was headed for law school. Instead, after college and a stint in corporate America, she followed her lifelong love of writing into a creative career spanning fiction podcasts, voice directing, and publishing. On this episode of the When I Grow Up podcast, host Kali Wolken talks with Crystal about discovering her ADHD as an adult, finding work that feels like home, and making creativity sustainable without letting a day job drain the time and energy she wants to give her art. Crystal shares why she believes it’s never too late to bet on yourself, why you shouldn’t throw away the things you write, and why following your joy can give others permission to do the same.
