Welcome to The 5-9 Club
Zooming in on those with 9-5s and the cool sh*t they're building after hours.
Hi there! I’m Katrina and I’ve never been the kind of person who dreams of quitting my day job to go full-time as an entrepreneur. But I’ve always been the kind of person creating all the things I’ve wanted for myself after hours.
Most of the stories that frequent my timeline are about people leaving corporate to go freelance—or freelancers making their way back to a 9-5.
But what about the ones who balance both worlds? Those building cool sh*t when they clock out, pursuing what sets their hearts ablaze while working a day job?
With the way the job market is shifting (I’ve been laid off twice in three years and know so many others still getting laid off) and the continuous rise of the creator economy, I can’t help but wonder, how many people out there are balancing both worlds, either out of necessity or simply because they want to.
I started this newsletter to amplify these stories, prove that you can do both, and build a community of ambitious minds who thrive in their 5-9 so we can learn from and inspire each other.
If that sounds like you, because I’d love to share your story.
And if you were looking for a sign to start your 5-to-9, this is it.
What You Can Expect
This is a new project of mine and will continue to evolve but I plan to focus on:
Interview style posts
Personal essays
The “Make Your Moment” series
A section of this newsletter will be dedicated to the “Make Your Moment” series— life lessons series (TBD how many episodes) to help you make with intention, creativity, and confidence, during your 9-5 and your 5-9.
Let’s build cool sh*t, together.
