Is it possible to turn a hobby into a career? Today’s guest, Shuang Shuang Liang of the infamous @shunagys_kitchensink, shares her journey from corporate career to entrepreneur and how it all began with a hobby. Growing up, Shuangy never imagined herself as an entrepreneur as her life was on a set course for a corporate career. Facing societal and traditional expectations, Shuany continued on the path and landed the ideal corporate job. However, it didn’t take long for Shuangy to realize that ‘something’ was missing and this led her to search for that something ‘more’. She shares what prompted her to start the side hobby with IG and how those early days on the gram looked like for her. As the account grew and this hobby started to take more time, Shuang knew she needed to make a decision and that was when her business was born.

Living with intention removes the need for addiction. Today’s guest, Remy Park of @veggiekins, shares her journey overcoming an eating disorder and alcoholism in order to live a life with intention. She explains how the need for control fueled her ED while a desire to escape led to alcohol. Remy’s experience with healing took physical, mental, and emotional work to let go of past behaviors and reach for new ones. In this time she turned her life around by moving to her dream city, becoming an entrepreneur, and leading a vegan lifestyle for the animals. Remy shares how she’s used her past to build an intentional life and the morals she abides by when sharing and creating on social media.

How often do we take the road less traveled because it feels best in our gut? Not often enough if you ask me! Today’s guest, Georgia Thompson of @goodness_with_g, shares her experience following intuition to create the future she always craved all while listening to that ‘pull’ in her gut. As a college student Georgia knew what her future should look like and did what it took to make that happen. Even as she made her way into the big corporate career in the city she loved, something didn’t feel right. By following her intuition and letting go of expectations, Georgia took one step towards the future she always craved and the rest fell into place. She learned that our biggest ‘failure’ can actually be a form of redirection in life to lead us where we’re meant to be.

Thanks to diet culture many of us have a disordered view when it comes to food. With today’s guest, Avery Rosenbloom, we discuss what it means to use food as a coping mechanism and how stress prompts this pattern. In this, Avery shares why self awareness is needed in recovery and how it helps to identify and work through previous habits, triggers, and thought patterns. Her honest outlook on her own experience with binge eating and weight gain is refreshing and she explains what it looks like to compare oneself along the recovery timeline. Avery doesn’t shy away from the typical ‘taboo’ topics and instead does her best to explore and share more about them.
