Today, we continue our series in celebration of International Women’s Month, where we revisit some of our favorite conversations with past guests. In this episode, you’ll hear from Lola Akinmade Åkerström, a true multipotentialite who refuses to be restricted to a single category. Not only is Lola, an award-winning storyteller, but she is also a published author, travel photographer, creator, writer, and TEDx speaker. She shares her advice for listeners looking to transition into full-time creative work before examining the importance of having a community of peers and the power of an abundance mindset. We also discuss the pitching process, what Lola has learned about rejection over the years, and what you can accomplish when you shift your perspective. Lola’s warmth, kindness, and empathy shines through in everything she does, and it’s her particular gift for honesty that makes today’s conversation so special. Join us as we talk about her journey as a creative entrepreneur, why comparing yourself to others is futile, and what it means to be a woman stepping into her brilliance today!
