Are you feeling shame over the number of times you've hit the reset button on your career? This episode is your permission slip to celebrate every pivot!
Host Jazzmyn welcomes writer and creator Kristen Garaffo of the Substack Older, Wiser, Hotter to discuss her incredible journey from professional theater and journalism to launching a successful micro-bakery from her kitchen. Kristen reveals how discovering her Manifesting Generator (MG) Human Design provided the relief she needed to accept her multifaceted nature and embrace "doing all the things."
We're tackling the fear of inconsistency and shifting the focus from chasing passion to simply following your curiosity.
In this episode, we dive into:
- The Power of Pivoting: Kristen's path from theater to freelance journalism to starting a micro-bakery.
- The Soft Life Business Model: How to build a sustainable, cozy entrepreneurship venture (like a micro-bakery) using a pre-order model.
- Healing Inconsistency Shame: How Human Design and Astrology helped Kristen shed the traditional narrative that bouncing between projects is a flaw.
- Substack vs. Short-Form: Why the slower, "cozier" nature of platforms like Substack cultivates deeper connection and community.
- Curiosity as Courage: The profound commitment to choosing curiosity over the overwhelming pressure of passion to propel your visibility and expansion.
This is essential listening for any creator, Manifesting Generator, or entrepreneur who struggles to commit to one path and needs the courage to launch the next big (or small) idea.
