1: "I never wanted my life to be linear." | On Curiosity and Creativity, with Olivia Francis: Writer, Photographer, & Co-Founder of Dear Curiosity

Welcome to the very first episode of Passages, a podcast for young professionals. Here, we're unlocking empowerment in life and work from the ground up. This episode, and each to come, is jam packed with education, empowerment, and stories I can’t wait to share.

We’re kicking this off with my friend, Olivia. Olivia Francis (@oliviafrances143) is a multi-passionate creative, faith-filled artist, freelancer, small business owner, world traveller, dedicated social and civic impact advocate, writer, and more. When she’s not planning her next adventure or supporting locally owned coffee houses with lavender lattes, she’s probably writing or photographing the world and people around her. Olivia is the epitome of an artisan soul, and we talked about it all.

In this episode you’re going to hear her share:

- Why college wasn’t the picture perfect four years - and how that’s okay.

- The reality of reacting to adverse experiences with optimism

- What to chase instead of your passions

- What holds women specifically back in saying yes to vulnerable dream chasing

- The definition of self rejection - and how to, not

- What day 1 of starting a digital, service-based business feels like

- The #1 trick to escalate and manifest confidence in launching something for yourself

- How to figure out what to charge when launching an online business

And so much more.

(P.S. you will NOT want to miss Olivia’s answer to my very last question. It’s a mic dropper.)

I hope you enjoy my conversation with Olivia as much as I did! Ready?
