Hustle Like Hannah Podcast

This week's episode is one that Hannah can relate to a LOT. Hannah is joined by Lauren Manning from Up in Lights Dance Academy & Happy Dance UK! Having danced since early childhood, Lauren knew that she wanted to dance to play a key part in her life one way or another. Whilst assisting with some dance classes alongside her studies at university, Lauren soon realised that this was what she wanted to do in life so set up her very own classes. Starting with just 3 children, Lauren has built up her business over the years and now has around 450 pupils attending her dance school! In recent times, she has also set up 'Happy Dance' which is made up of a podcast, social media platforms, and helpful class supplies to not only help dance teachers, but to learn from and unite dance teachers with the vision of making the world a happier place through dance. Lauren is full of positivity and helpful advice for anyone looking to turn their creative passion into a business...

**Trigger Warning** The following subjects are spoken about during this interview: mental health, attempted suicide, and eating orders (with specific mention of bulimia). If you need to reach out for help with anything mental health-related, go to: Mind (UK): https://www.mind.org.uk/ Mental Health Foundation (UK): https://www.mentalhealth.org.uk/ Beat Eating Disorders (UK): https://www.beateatingdisorders.org.uk/ Mental Health America (USA): https://www.mhanational.org/get-involved/contact-us Mind Your Mind (Canada): https://mindyourmind.ca/ This week is Mental Health Awareness Week, and Hannah is joined by Leigh Telford, the founder of My Wellbeing Pal. Leigh's story may be triggering for some, but it's a truly inspiring story of how you can use a difficult situation to completely transform your life for the better. Working as a marketing manager for several years in the highly stressful environment of a fat-moving corporate goods company, Leigh had found herself in a place where she felt like she had hit rock bottom physically, mentally and emotionally. Sadly, in 2007, Leigh attempted to take her own life when she decided that enough was enough, but fortunately, she survived and realised that it wasn't her time to go yet... but it was definitely time for a change! Whilst recovering from her suicide attempt, and waiting what was feeling like an eternity for some help, Leigh turned her attention to holistic healing solutions and soon began to see that this could be so much more than just part of her recovery. Holistic healing solutions led to a change in lifestyle and becoming trained as a holistic nutritionist, a yoga teacher & a reiki healer, which allowed Leigh to close the chapter on her fast-paced corporate working life for good and embark on a rewarding career doing what she was passionate about. Despite the COVID-19 pandemic hitting her business pretty hard, Leigh has used previous experiences to help her stay focused and adapt her business in a way that will allow her to expand the business even further. The conversation gets quite deep, but Leigh is full of experience and advice for anybody looking to pursue something they are passionate about...

Hannah is joined by Michael Winter from Litebulb Media on this week's episode. Michael always had a passion for writing, but he kept this as a hobby whilst building a career in the construction industry. After a decade in the construction industry, he realised it just wasn't giving him the job satisfaction he craved! After doing some casual work for a lifestyle magazine, which included a once-in-a-lifetime trip to drive a Bentley in Manchester (!), Michael was reminded of his love of writing and decided to embark on creating his own business! He wasn't too sure how to drive people to a website, so he decided to invest his time into learning all about digital marketing, before arriving at the idea of starting Litebulb Media. Today, Michael no longer works in construction. He now runs Litebulb Media full time, teaching people who are just getting started – particularly those who are bootstrapping their start-up – how to do the marketing for themselves and get past the dreaded zeroes (zero visitors, zero leads, zero sales) with his "Zero to 1k" 30-day challenge. It's definitely a conversation full of experience and useful advice for those looking to break out of employment into a creative venture...

This week, Hannah is joined by Michelle Adams from Chatty Cats Care! Coming from a theatre background, Michelle has always been a passionate and artistic soul. She's performed with some top theatre companies, performed at many events, and even starred in an award-winning short film at just 16 years old! But Michelle has another lifelong love... a love of cats! When Michelle was at university, she wanted to find a flexible way of earning some income. She came across a job listing for a cat sitter, which sounded purrfect... It wasn't long until Michelle realised she could make some decent money doing this, especially if she cut out the middle man and ran the service as her own business. So that's exactly what she did, and 3 years later she has 14 employees and over 100 London-based clients! It's quite the success story to say the least; what more motivation do you need than a story like this?!

Having both worked for the Monmouth County SPCA, they aren't afraid of challenges (business or dog-wise!) and they have learnt so much already since setting up just a few years ago.

This week's episode is a little bit different... Hannah's guest this week is Joel Holc, and his creative business story isn't one which stems from a hobby, but one which stems from finding passion from a life-changing experience. Joel has owned many businesses along the way, but these were typically formed on the basis of "how can I make money?", but after being diagnosed with an autoimmune disease 12 years ago, Joel's perspective on life changed completely. Now, Joel's passion is happiness and self-healing. Drawing on his own experiences with self-healing, and defying conventional doctors' predictions of being in a wheelchair by now, Joel is now an energy healer speaker & author helping others to heal organically and take back control of their own life & happiness!

Hannah has a double whammy episode today, as her guests are twin sisters Amy & Megan Pickard who have both turned their hobbies into their own creative businesses! Amy used her love of arts & crafting, including embroidery, sewing & crocheting, to help fund her university placement and, after finding success with this, she decided to set up her own Etsy store under her brand name: hAPpea creations. In 2020, due to the impact of the COVID pandemic, Megan joined forces with Amy and set up her own 'sister' brand called Pastel Paca.
