Sometimes the most impactful things you can do and learn seem the simplest...
Not being afraid to say “I don’t know” and never assuming anything ✨
But they can take time and confidence to feel good actually DOING.
It was such a joy to be joined by Tina from S I L H O U E T T E on The Unfiltered CEO Podcast for a chat about trusting your intuition, defining success on your own terms, protecting your time and creative energy, and building a business that supports the work AND life you actually want ❤️🔥
We also cover:
⁕ Tina’s journey into interior design, trying entrepreneurship, going back to working for others, & eventually starting her own business again
⁕ How adopting her daughter shifted her priorities
⁕ Why we wish creative degrees included a whole lot more actual business education
⁕ Being a HUMAN and a business owner instead of feeling like you have to choose between the two
⁕ Trusting your intuition, noticing the signs around you, and paying attention when the universe winks at you
⁕ Leaving a traditionally “successful” career & redefining what success meant for her
⁕ Intentionally marketing toward the clients you actually WANT
⁕ The importance of creative freedom instead of being hired to recreate someone’s Pinterest board
⁕ The similarities between her full-service creative process and my approach to branding, copy, & web design
⁕ Why you don’t need a “good enough” reason to say no
⁕ Setting expectations with clients and refusing to say yes just because you don’t want to disappoint someone
⁕ Enjoying what you’ve created NOW instead of waiting for “someday” to finally feel successful
⁕ What we both learned from hiring and managing teams
⁕ Saying no, changing your mind, and pivoting when something no longer feels aligned (even when other people don’t understand it)
