Welcome back to Unemployed & Afraid for a big whack of inspiring stories on the gloriously challenging journey of creating and sustaining a business and brand.

Today I have the most wonderful supporter of the show and long-time listener Tessa Marie, an Intuitive Abstract Landscape Artist based in the gorgeous Adelaide Hills. Art has been part of her life for a long time, but only recently a full-time career focus, in which she’s creating and diversifying with murals, classes and plenty more planned.

Tessa and I cover quite a bit in this chat, from her challenging health scare that delivered her a shake up, to following her interests to see where they lead, getting in flow, finding your tribe, and creating based on how it feels in your own unique body.

We’re bringing big, high-energy vibes, I hope you enjoy Tessa’s story of starting over

A business podcast for the brave self-employed.

Growing your own business can be one of the most gratifying, wonderful, life-changing experiences around. It’s also scary as hell. This is a weekly podcast for the ones who have made the brave decision to employ themselves anyway.

We're for the full gamut of business experience - from Solopreneurs, Side-hustlers, Micro-business, Small Business, Medium business, Independent, VC backed, Bootstrapped and more - here for the real stories and priceless insights of it all, well beyond the PR headlines.

Join fellow business-builder and side-hustler Kim Kerton as she dives into the realities of starting something from scratch, helping you feel less alone in the lows and reminding you of the highs that make it all worthwhile. Hear real talk and raw feels from people right in the thick of it and feel seen as you listen.

Small business is tough - all business is tough - it will be one of the most intense things you'll ever do but it will also be the most impactful experience you can imagine. So surround yourself with a community of business owners willing to share with you their learnings, from those a few steps ahead, to many business milestones ahead, and even those just behind, and feel supported to build the business of your unique dreams. 

This is a podcast built to support you to build your own small business, to tackle the statistics and keep more of us in business for ourselves. To say thanks, you can support this independent podcast and small business by shouting your host a cuppa at buymeacoffee.com/unemployedpod
