Ever wondered how enthusiasm can be a superpower? Join me as I chat with Ellie Kime, the vibrant founder of The Enthusiast & Co, who shares her compelling journey of transforming a passion for weddings into a thriving business during her university days. Despite facing skepticism, Ellie's story reminds us that showing up with enthusiasm can lead to a more vibrant, fulfilling life. Through personal anecdotes, we discuss how embracing what we love provides clarity about our identities and helps us move through the world with greater ease.

Not every passion needs to be a career, and our conversation tackles this liberating notion head-on. We explore the societal pressures to monetise every interest and the value in being multi-passionate without turning every hobby into a job. By sharing our diverse interests, (from One Direction to postcodes), we celebrate the richness that comes from a multi-hyphenate life. Tune in as we challenge limiting labels and affirm that showing up authentically in every aspect of life can create a truly meaningful existence.

Ellie also opens up about maintaining passion-driven projects through personal hurdles and the transition from running a shop to a vibrant online presence. From the joys of writing to the nerves of public speaking, we delve into the importance of authenticity and the power of caring deeply about what excites us. Whether you're battling fears or societal judgments, this episode encourages you to embrace your unique interests without shame, transforming enthusiasm from a perceived weakness into a powerful strength.

Have you ever felt trapped by the daily grind and responsibilities, shrunk yourself to 'fit in' or followed the rules then realised they didn't bring you the success or happiness you'd been promised? Tick, tick and tick. My life had plateaued, my unused potential was wasting away and I felt powerless to change anything. I wanted to escape but instead of running away, I decided that ordinary is optional, and I could DECIDE to live authentically, put FUN back on the agenda and do more of the things that made me feel alive. This podcast is one of them and through these conversations I'd love nothing more than to be able to help you do the same!
