Ep#103 One Step Forward: Why Your Excuses Are Holding You Back
Send us a textIt's the PASSION PANTS RANT....Ever find yourself standing at the bottom of a metaphorical hill, overwhelmed by all the reasons why you can't or shouldn't climb it? That's exactly where transformation begins.Looking through voice notes from 2015 after being made redundant, Kristen discovered a powerful through-line in my life's work that remains unchanged a decade later. The message is simple yet profound: when faced with a challenge, you have a black and white decision to make. You either take that step forward or you don't. You jump or you stay put.What struck me most was how this fundamental belief has guided every aspect of my journey from corporate designer to business owner. After signing for a vineyard and facing redundancy a month later, I had to decide: return to a job I hated or leap into entrepreneurship. The decision to climb that hill to get uncomfortable, invest in myself, and build something from scratch changed everything.This isn't about demanding perfection. It's about understanding that one step forward is infinitely more valuable than standing still making excuses. The women in my Evolution program didn't join because they knew they'd succeed. They jumped because they knew they had to try, despite past disappointments and fears.My rowing coach once told me something I'll never forget: "You don't demand anything of anybody. You just step up and they step up with you." That's the philosophy behind everything I do. I won't challenge you to do something I haven't done myself, but I will absolutely push you to recognise your own capacity for growth.So here's my Passion Pants Rant for you today: Whatever you're procrastinating on, whatever you're telling yourself you're not good enough to accomplish—take that first step. The view from halfway up the hill is already better than the bottom.Ready to climb? Let's go.🐝 FREE 3 DAY BOOTCAMP IN SEPT EVOLUTION IS HERE📱 Join the Content Hive HERE 💸 Start UGC HERE anytime 📝 UGC Contract templates GET THEM HERE [by @startupandrunning Lawyer] Follow Us: Instagram: @hivehubcollective TikTok: @hivehubcollective Products We Recommend & are Affiliates for: 14-Day Free Trial at STAN STORE Get OPUS Clips for your Social Media Get a Referral Code for Riverside Sign Up with BuzzSprout for Podca...

Ep#102 Your Brain is Not Broken: How Multi-Passionate Creators Can Build Thriving Businesses
Send us a textWhat if your scattered, multi-passionate brain isn't something to fix but your greatest business asset? When we stopped trying to force our neurodivergent minds into neurotypical business models, everything changed.This episode reveals the behind-the-scenes story of how we completely pivoted during a live bootcamp, creating an entirely new offer on the fly that resonated so deeply with our audience that people were signing up before we'd even named our price. Why? Because we finally acknowledged what neurodivergent creators truly need: permission to build businesses that work with their brains, not against them.For years, we've been told to "niche down," "stay focused," and follow strict marketing strategies. But what if those very rules are what's holding multi-passionate entrepreneurs back? Our journey proves that sometimes the most powerful business moves come from trusting your intuition and making impulsive (but informed) jumps. As Mia explains, "When we lean into our crazy psycho brains and just do the thing that we're feeling like we want to do, that's when the magic happens, that's when you become magnetic."We're ditching intimidating marketing jargon too – transforming rigid "strategies" into approachable "game plans" that feel inviting rather than constraining. This simple language shift makes business planning more accessible for neurodivergent minds that rebel against corporate terminology.Whether you're struggling with "shiny object syndrome," feel shame about unfinished courses, or worry your multi-passionate nature is a liability, this episode is your permission slip to create content and build a business your way. Join us to discover how Evolution, our 12-month coaching container, supports neurodivergent creators ready to turn their supposed weaknesses into their greatest strengths.🐝 FREE 3 DAY BOOTCAMP IN SEPT EVOLUTION IS HERE📱 Join the Content Hive HERE 💸 Start UGC HERE anytime 📝 UGC Contract templates GET THEM HERE [by @startupandrunning Lawyer] Follow Us: Instagram: @hivehubcollective TikTok: @hivehubcollective Products We Recommend & are Affiliates for: 14-Day Free Trial at STAN STORE Get OPUS Clips for your Social Media Get a Referral Code for Riverside Sign Up with BuzzSprout for Podca...
