Customer Reviews
I look forward to it every week!
Good advice on topics like work-life balance and moving up in your career. I love hearing about these things from successful women my age. I like the Monday episodes, but I LOVE the Friday ones. I always look forward to starting my Friday morning with Busy Blooming. More Alexis pleeease!
Used to be good…
Edit: Tess you are SO inconsistent with your uploads. I used to wait excitedly for new episodes but man you often disappoint, going weeks and weeks without a new one. Tough feedback for you but you need to hear it - it’s a bad look and not professional when your brand is built largely around the podcast but you upload when you feel like it.
Also the topics are gross now - it’s very girl bossy and content creation stuff. Unrelatable to someone who came here for the previous life and career chats that were applicable to everyone.
Old review:
Alexis is like the cutest human being in the world. 🥰 Love that I came across this podcast. - particularly due to the very real topics and non cliche advice. Keep going!!
My fav pod!
Love listening to Busy Blooming on my morning commute, it’s so inspirational and puts me in the best mood! I’m always looking forward to a new episode with Tess and Alexis!
