Description

The fear of sucking at something has killed more businesses [and more passions generally] than any other life variable.
Thing is, being average and not knowing what you’re doing is completely unavoidable for anything new worth doing. Building a business is no different. We don’t get where we want to go without feeling challenged, confused, unsure and maybe even a little bit embarrassed while we try.
But if you’re willing to sit with this pain, you’ll become unstoppable. And this episode will show you why.
My guest is the celebrated painter Monique Fedor, and in the sharing of discovering her passion and following it through to a thriving business you’ll hear about:

Pushing forward when you almost give up
Embracing the title [and magic] of being of self-taught
The dark side of Instagram
How to find your crowd
The constant battle with self-doubt we experience
And the benefits of making new connections along the way

So, if you’re holding yourself back in some way, I think you’ll be ready to push forward after hearing this business-building story.

This weekly podcast explores what it’s like to be starting your career over, with the people who’ve done it. In conversation, we tackle the messy middle of changing your life - how it feels to drop the identity of whatever came before and step into a brand new you – with, or without a plan.  Your host is Kim Kerton (hi!) the creator behind the handmade ceramics and plant-based recipes of Good Side of the Bed, a writer, marketer, yoga teacher, sea-changer, rev-head and pug mum. Before all that, Kim spent over a decade in the commercial media business. She decided to walk away, got unemployed and afraid, and here we are. This podcast is for the brave people who want to start over but are feeling the fear - maybe putting off starting because the end isn’t clear - and for those who find themselves right in the middle of the whirlwind. Whether by choice or by push, starting over is scary, Unemployed & Afraid is your tribe on the pathway through change.
