Not all business advice is created equal — especially when you’re a mum, caregiver, neurodivergent, chronically ill, or simply living real life.

In this honest and deeply relatable episode of The Creative Juggle Joy, Kaylie (creative toddler mum + digital strategist in North Wales) and Delores (artist + digital educator + grandma in Manitoba) unpack the advice that totally didn’t work for them — and why it may not be working for you either.

From hustle culture, toxic productivity, and the pressure to “just show up on video,” to mindset myths and rigid morning routines, we explore what we’ve had to unlearn — and the more sustainable strategies we’ve swapped in instead.

Whether you’re juggling art, teaching, digital products, or just trying to stay afloat, this episode is your permission slip to do business differently.

✨ Topics we cover:
• Why hustle culture hits women and caregivers differently
• The "mindset" myth (and what really holds creatives back)
• Alternative ways to show up without video overload
• Ageism, imposter syndrome, and starting late
• Why niching down isn’t always the magic solution
• Morning routines that don’t work for toddler life
• How to embrace your own energy + rhythm in business

If you're a creative who feels like you're always starting new ideas but never finishing anything — this episode is for you.

Kaylie opens up about her personal experience with shiny object syndrome: bouncing between courses, tools, product ideas, and platforms (hello Canva templates, half-finished Etsy shops, and a Google Drive full of forgotten downloads).

In this honest and practical conversation, you'll learn:

• Why multi-passionates and overwhelmed creatives burn out trying to do it all
• The hidden cost of chasing every idea instead of building one thing well
• A gentler, more grounded way to grow a creative business that fits your season of life
• Why starting with your strengths (not trends) is the key to traction
• How to get clear on your best-fit income path — even with limited time

💡 Plus: Kaylie introduces her free Creative Clarity Challenge — a 3-day experience to help you finally choose a path, take action, and start seeing progress.
