In this episode of Hear Me Out and Pass the Scissors, Nicole turns the tables and interviews Lisa about some of the biggest changes in her creative journey. We look back at our Season 1 episode, From Hobby to Side Hustle, and talk about what has happened since then, including joining the Bella Blvd Creative Team, expanding Lisa's Etsy shop, launching Lisa's scrapbook organization products, and making the decision to leave her corporate job to become a full-time content creator. Nicole also shares what she has learned during her first year on the Bella Blvd team and offers her honest, slightly skeptical perspective on turning a creative hobby into a career. If you are interested in scrapbooking, content creation, Etsy, creative entrepreneurship, and what it really takes to bet on yourself, this episode is for you.
