How to turn a hobby into a business and dream career

With Kyndra Holley

I am relentless in my pursuit of what sets my soul on fire.
I refuse to quit, even if gets hard or awful.
I keep going.

— Kyndra Holley

This week on Creativity School, we’re back with Part 2 of our conversation with Kyndra Holley, international bestselling cookbook author and the powerhouse behind the massively popular food blog Peace, Love and Low Carb.

If you didn’t listen to the first part of our talk, go back and listen to Episode 13 to find out all about how Kyndra started her blog back in 2011 as a hobby that made zero money, and eventually turned it into a full time dream career that now supports her family.

On this episode, we discuss the importance of advocating for your work and standing up for the vision that you believe in, and why we should create from a place of power and never hold back and stifle our own creativity. Kyndra also shares her thoughts on how to be healthy overall so we can have a long term and sustainable business, and why your career can’t be motivated by money.

Mentioned in this episode:

  • How Kyndra self published her first cookbook after just 1 year of blogging

  • How she got into publishing her cookbooks with her traditional publishers

  • Why it’s essential to speak up for yourself and advocate for your own work and creative vision

  • Her philosophy on giving back to the community, animals and other people

  • How Kyndra keeps her creativity going without burning out

  • How giving ourselves rest allows us to be more creative and have better ideas

  • Kyndra’s thoughts on starting a blog now, in such a competitive landscape

  • Why your career can’t be motivated by money

  • The single most thing that has propelled Kyndra in her business and career
