Ep 70 - How to Earn Money With Many Interests

You don’t need one big niche to earn money online. In this video, I explain how to look at each of your interests as its own small stream of income, so your many ideas become a body of work instead of a mess of random hobbies. We talk about what a profit center is, why this works especially well online, and why two or three over time is far more realistic than running six or seven businesses at once. I also share my own example, from my crafts and journaling blog to the new direction I’m exploring now.

Ep 69 - Too Many Interests? Why It’s Not a Problem

Do you have to choose one niche and stick with it forever to build an online business? If you have lots of different interests, this episode is for you. In this episode, I share how reading Refuse to Choose by Barbara Sher changed the way I see my many interests, what a “cyclical scanner” is, and why coming back to an old interest means you return a level up instead of starting from zero.You can watch the Youtube Video here: https://youtu.be/BbT5X8lBlHs Your small action for today: write down the 6 or 7 interests you keep coming back to and notice the pattern. Next time we'll look at how your interests can become different profit centers. Thanks for listening, and see you soon!

Ep 68 - Learning to Trust Yourself

Have you ever felt drawn towards something, even though you couldn't explain why? Or found yourself looking everywhere for answers when perhaps you need a little space to listen to yourself? Watch this on YouTube: https://youtu.be/dg8d0kEcms0 In this episode of Showing Up, I'm talking about learning to trust yourself, listen to your inner voice, and recognise the difference between fear and that quieter feeling that something is right for you. I share the story of how, at 24, I took half a year off university in Germany and moved to Ireland on my own, without a proper plan. I couldn't have known then that this one decision would lead to 20 years of living in Ireland, meeting my partner, raising our children, and discovering a very different way of approaching life and learning. Looking back, I've come to realise how many important things in life begin with a feeling we can't fully explain. We don't always need to know exactly where something will lead before we take the first step. In this episode, we explore: How to learn to trust yourself and your own decisions The difference between fear, intuition and impulsiveness Why we sometimes look outside ourselves for answers How quiet time, journaling, meditation and walking can help us listen What to do when you're drawn towards something but keep talking yourself out of it Why you don't have to have your whole life figured out before you begin You don't have to act on every feeling or know exactly what comes next. Sometimes the first step is simply being willing to listen. A question to reflect on: Is there something in your life right now that you feel drawn towards, but that you've been talking yourself out of? Thank you for being here.

Ep 67 - Have You Tried Doing a Weekly Review?

Have you ever tried doing a weekly review? It's a simple habit that can help you pause, reflect on your life, and move into the next week with more intention. In this episode, I share how I've recently returned to using Notion and why I've started doing a weekly review every Sunday. We talk about different ways to review your week, from writing in a notebook and looking back at your photos to using digital tools or even recording voice notes while you walk. I also share how I review our family budget in a physical notebook and why writing things down by hand helps me feel more connected to my money. Whether you want to focus on your business, self-care, creativity, personal goals, or simply make more space for yourself, a weekly review can be a lovely way to check in with what's important to you right now. You don't need a complicated system. Just take ten minutes, look back at your week, and decide what you'd like to make space for next. A few questions to get you started: What happened this week, and what did I enjoy? What am I grateful for? Is there anything I want to change or pay attention to? What's important to me in this season of my life? What's one thing I want to make space for next week?

Ep 66 - A Vision Board You Can Listen To

How about making a vision board you can listen to? A few days ago, I had a new idea to create a vision board without magazine clippings and pinterest boards. In this episode, I talk about how I made mine, how you can create one yourself using nothing more than a few notes and your phone. But the most interesting thing I discovered was that my first version was way too small. Even when we give ourselves permission to imagine anything, we can still make our dreams safe, familiar and realistic. So I've started experimenting with a different question: What would I choose if I wasn't trying to make it realistic yet? You can start small, change your mind, create another version, and keep noticing what comes up. For me, the whole practice has become less about manifesting a perfect life and more about listening to myself, discovering what I actually want, and finding the next tiny step. If you'd like to try it yourself, give yourself seven days and see what happens.

Ep 65 - Don't Wait for a Better Time

In this episode, I'm recording from my car in the middle of a weird season of life. I don't have everything figured out, and I don't have a neat story about how I got through it. But I had a realisation: I don't want to keep putting my life on hold until things feel better. We often imagine that we'll become more creative, organised, confident, healthy, adventurous, or successful someday. When we have more time, money, energy or clarity. But what if you could start practising that identity right now? I talk about the tiny actions that can give you evidence that you already are that person, from decluttering clothes and books to returning to a podcast after a long break. You don't have to do something perfectly or consistently forever. You can simply do it today, and then do it again tomorrow.

Ep 64 - Sometimes You Know It's Time to Let Go Before You Know What's Next

In this episode, I explore that inner knowing that many of us experience before a new chapter begins. The part of us that senses it's time to let go, even when there isn't a clear plan waiting on the other side. We talk about why change can feel so unsettling, why it's often easier to stay with what's familiar, and how learning to trust those quiet inner nudges can lead us towards a life that feels more like our own. If you're standing at a crossroads, feeling something shift beneath the surface, I hope this conversation reminds you that you don't have to have all the answers before taking your first step. In this episode:• Why inner knowing often comes before certainty• Why letting go can feel both scary and right• How to listen to the quiet nudges inside yourself• Trusting yourself even when the path isn't clear I also mention the beautiful poem Stufen ("Steps") by Hermann Hesse, which has stayed with me for many years and captures this season of change so beautifully. You can read an English translation here (there is a closer translation in the comments): https://allpoetry.com/Stages I'd love to hear from you. Is there something you've known for a while that you're finally ready to listen to?

Ep 63 - Who are you becoming through the things you create?

Why are you really creating? It's easy to think the answer is to grow an audience, build a business, earn more money. But when I recently asked myself this question, I discovered that my deepest reasons were something else entirely. In this episode, I share the four reasons I keep creating and why I believe using your voice can be an act of healing, remembering, connecting, and becoming more yourself. We also explore why speaking publicly can feel so vulnerable, how self-censorship shapes our lives, and why confidence often comes after we begin rather than before. If you've ever wondered whether your work really matters or struggled to share your ideas with the world, I hope this conversation encourages you to take one small step toward showing up as yourself. Reflection questions from this episode: • WHY are you really creating?• What part of yourself is still waiting to receive permission to speak?• Who are you becoming through the work you're creating?
