• Ep#86 You're Not Failing, You're Finding Your Path: Why Business Pivots Are Essential

  The guilt of business pivots can be crushing. That nagging feeling of "Oh, what's she doing NOW?" or "Another business idea gone to waste" – we've been there, and we know you might be feeling it too.As two neurodivergent business owners who've navigated multiple pivots, we're pulling back the curtain on the emotional rollercoaster that comes with changing direction. For Mia, her ADHD meant continually seeking new dopamine hits when business ventures became challenging. For Kristen, being a manifesting generator meant she was literally designed to do multiple things, yet carried shame around her various business evolutions.What we've discovered through our collective journeys is that pivoting isn't failure—it's often necessary exploration. We discuss how to distinguish between pivoting from boredom versus pivoting from genuine misalignment, and why developing income streams through brand collaborations gives you the financial breathing room to find your true path without pressure.The most powerful revelation? When you discover your deep why—the core mission that transcends any particular business model—you gain a compass for evaluating potential pivots. We share how finding this anchor has transformed our businesses and can transform yours too.Whether you're contemplating a pivot now or have pivoted so many times you've lost count, this episode offers validation, strategic guidance, and a reminder that nothing in your entrepreneurial journey is wasted. Each step, even the seemingly misguided ones, brings you closer to what you're truly meant to create.Ready to fund your pivots while discovering your aligned path? Join us for a judgment-free conversation about embracing your multi-passionate nature while building a sustainable business.💸 Join our FREE Workshop - Want to Know What it Feels Like to Get Paid as a Content Creator (even as a beginner)?

• Ep#85 Scaling From Zero to Six Figures: The Business by Design Journey

  Ever found yourself drowning in online business courses that promise the world but leave you with more questions than answers? That's exactly where we were before discovering Business by Design.As two neurodivergent mums who transformed our content creation skills into a six-figure business in under 12 months, we're pulling back the curtain on the program that made it possible. James Wedmore's Business by Design isn't just another digital course—it's a comprehensive system that actually delivers on its promises.What makes BBD different? It truly is the "LEGO manual" for digital entrepreneurs that James describes. While many programs leave critical gaps in knowledge, BBD walks you through every single step needed to create, launch, and scale digital products. From messaging and customer psychology to funnel creation and launch strategies, nothing is left to chance. The best part? You purchase it once and have lifetime access, allowing you to implement at your own pace and revisit modules as your business evolves.We particularly love how James balances practical business tactics with mindset work, blending "woo-woo" concepts like manifestation with data-driven marketing strategies. For entrepreneurs who sense there's more to success than just tactics, this approach is revolutionary. The BBD community surrounds you with fellow business owners committed to sustainable growth rather than quick wins, creating an environment where long-term success becomes inevitable.Whether you're a UGC creator looking to develop your first digital product, or you already have a course that's not performing as expected, the principles inside BBD provide the roadmap you need. Even if you're not ready to invest, we strongly encourage participating in James's free three-day launch event—the value provided even in this free training will transform how you think about your online business.Ready to turn your content creation skills into serious income? Follow us as we share more insights from our BBD journey, and discover why this program continues to be our north star for business growth.💸 Join our FREE Workshop - Want to Know What it Feels Like to Get Paid as a Content Creator (even as a beginner)?

• Ep#84 Crafting Hooks That Convert: Why People Scroll Past Your Content

  Ready to stop watching your carefully crafted content disappear into the digital void? In this episode, we tackle the number one reason your videos aren't performing: weak hooks that fail to stop the scroll.The hard truth is that you have just three seconds—often less—to capture attention in today's hyper-stimulated social media environment. We break down exactly what makes an effective hook, exploring the power of layering visual elements (camera movement, bright colours, unexpected actions) with compelling text and spoken words. This combination creates an irresistible invitation that transforms passive scrollers into engaged viewers.One game-changing strategy we share is how to test multiple hooks with the same content. Rather than constantly creating new videos, we show you how to download existing content, replace the hook, and repost—effectively 10x-ing your chances of going viral without starting from scratch. This approach mirrors professional ad testing methods and can dramatically improve your content performance with minimal additional effort.The most valuable tool for improving your hooks? Study what stops your own scrolling. When content captures your attention, analyse why it worked and add these insights to your creative arsenal. Think of your hook as a party invitation the difference between..."If you're not busy, maybe stop by" versus "First 10 people get a free...."
