Behind every thriving business, there’s a founder. I used to believe that unless I was doing things perfectly, my story should remain behind closed doors. I couldn’t have been more wrong. Embracing imperfection and bringing my personal growth story to the centre of Adorn has been essential - both for my business, and my personal growth.

21. How To Start A Business: Part 3

Our businesses can become our babies. They’re born from love and we nurture them with everything we have. But the truth is, your business can’t love you back.

20. Burn Baby, Burn: Career Fatigue and the Hype of ‘Productivity’

Starting a business usually begins with a brilliant idea, not a detailed business plan. Legal, accounting and finance can range from a headache to a panic attack for most first-time founders. In today’s episode, I’m sharing all of the technical know-how I’ve accumulated, together with some gems about mindset and resilience.

018. How to Strengthen our Focus in a Busy World

According to Instagram, launching a business will:Happen overnightEnd in successInvolve a yacht Unfortunately, there’s no way to filter the truth. So in true Briony form, I’ll come out and say it: starting a business is hard. It’s tiring, it almost never goes according to plan and there will be tears. But here’s the other side of the truth: it is possible, just not in the timeline we expect it to be possible in. In today’s episode, I break down the first steps to launching a business alongside some hard lessons I learnt along the way. We’ll be unpacking where ideas come from, what happens after creating a concept, what to expect in the first few years and how to protect yourself from financial strain.

017. How to Start a Business: Part 1

We’re living in the age of opportunity. A time where success is visible, chances are taken and power is served on a buffet. It can feel exciting and hopeful but too often than not, it can feel anxiety-inducing. I started a beauty business well into my adulthood. I started something I had little experience in, in a market that was oversaturated and under the pulse. Others had concerns, I had a case of imposter-syndrome. Can I do this? Why should I start? Who am I to compete with them? In today’s episode, I’m getting candid on why we should stop comparing, how we can get perspective and what we need to enjoy life for ourselves, not others.Follow Along:Follow me on Instagram: http://bit.ly/BrionyINSTA -Follow Adorn Cosmetics: http://bit.ly/AdrnCosINSTA -Sign up to be an Adorner and receive a special offer on all things Adorn Cosmetics: http://bit.ly/AdrnCosWEB -Join the Imperfectly Perfect Mummas Group: http://bit.ly/PerfMumFB -Follow our producers, The Peers Project: http://bit.ly/TPPINSTA - See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

016. Overcoming Imposter Syndrome as a Mum and a Business Owner

Relationships. Yep, I’m going there. Professional, personal, romantic or complicated, the bonds we build with people throughout our lives say so much about who we are - sometimes for the worse but mostly for the better. In today’s episode, I’m unpacking the importance of loneliness, how to make valuable connections and the strategies I’ve used in both my personal and professional life to build trusting, respectful and meaningful relationships. Take it from me, it did not happen overnight (and it certainly didn’t happen in my twenties), but it did happen, and like all good things, it just took some time.Follow Along:Follow me on Instagram: http://bit.ly/BrionyINSTA -Follow Adorn Cosmetics: http://bit.ly/AdrnCosINSTA -Sign up to be an Adorner and receive a special offer on all things Adorn Cosmetics: http://bit.ly/AdrnCosWEB -Join the Imperfectly Perfect Mummas Group: http://bit.ly/PerfMumFB -Follow our producers, The Peers Project: http://bit.ly/TPPINSTA - See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

15. Business and Pleasure: Navigating Every Relationship

‘Self-love’ is a term thrown around a lot. We’re used to being told it looks like a bath, some wine and a face mask but self-love is a far cry from the material possessions that we’re encouraged to reach for. It’s not something that sits on a shelf, in a cart or across the counter. In fact, it cannot be touched, only felt. Throughout my life, negative self-talk, and ingrained insecurities distracted me from the hard, but necessary lesson of self-acceptance. Over time, I’ve learnt the importance of maintaining an honest relationship with myself in order to lead a life I am honestly proud of. It’s something we should all strive for: self-love for who you are, not who you should be, and that’s exactly what we’re tackling in this week’s episode.Follow Along:Follow me on Instagram: http://bit.ly/BrionyINSTA -Follow Adorn Cosmetics: http://bit.ly/AdrnCosINSTA -Sign up to be an Adorner and receive a special offer on all things Adorn Cosmetics: http://bit.ly/AdrnCosWEB -Join the Imperfectly Perfect Mummas Group: http://bit.ly/PerfMumFB -Follow our producers, The Peers Project: http://bit.ly/TPPINSTA - See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

14. The Road to Self-love

We’ve all thought it: I want to make something out of myself. So, we start brainstorming. We ask ourselves, what we could do? We might tell our friends, start a Google drive and make a few contacts but somewhere between the commas and calls, we stagger. Self-doubt, money, and life continue blocking us at every corner until we talk ourselves into stopping. In this episode, I unpack what it means to build a personal brand and become a woman of influence. I’ll discuss how to start finding a cause you’re passionate about, ways to inspire difference, and the importance of backing yourself even on days when you want to back up.Follow Along:Follow me on Instagram: http://bit.ly/BrionyINSTA -Follow Adorn Cosmetics: http://bit.ly/AdrnCosINSTA -Sign up to be an Adorner and receive a special offer on all things Adorn Cosmetics: http://bit.ly/AdrnCosWEB -Join the Imperfectly Perfect Mummas Group: http://bit.ly/PerfMumFB -Follow our producers, The Peers Project: http://bit.ly/TPPINSTA - See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

13. How to Build a Personal Brand

How would you console a colleague if they had a tantrum? What excuse would you give your five year old if they asked why next year’s sales projections were late? It’s strange to imagine competing worlds overlapping, but how we react to demands, challenges and responsibilities in both intertwine. In this episode, I reveal how you can step into work and home like a good leader: for your kids, colleagues, and yourself.Follow Along:Follow me on Instagram: http://bit.ly/BrionyINSTA -Follow Adorn Cosmetics: http://bit.ly/AdrnCosINSTA -Sign up to be an Adorner and receive a special offer on all things Adorn Cosmetics: http://bit.ly/AdrnCosWEB -Join the Imperfectly Perfect Mummas Group: http://bit.ly/PerfMumFB -Follow our producers, The Peers Project: http://bit.ly/TPPINSTA - See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

12. How to be an Effective Leader

It doesn’t matter if it’s your first, third or last child - parenting is never easy and contrary to what we may be led to believe - technology hasn’t necessarily helped. Navigating parenthood and finding your style of doing things takes time, but teaching your kids boundaries and trust (especially around screen time), can take even longer. In this episode I share how my parenting style has changed over the years, how I set boundaries with my kids, and how I manage their consumption of tech in an age where pressure, personalities and the iPad make us feel like good enough isn’t great enough.Follow Along:Follow me on Instagram: http://bit.ly/BrionyINSTA -Follow Adorn Cosmetics: http://bit.ly/AdrnCosINSTA -Sign up to be an Adorner and receive a special offer on all things Adorn Cosmetics: http://bit.ly/AdrnCosWEB -Join the Imperfectly Perfect Mummas Group: http://bit.ly/PerfMumFB -Follow our producers, The Peers Project: http://bit.ly/TPPINSTA - See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

11. How to Parent in the Digital Age

Skincare can be overwhelming. As women, we can spend so much time and money buying the ‘best’ products out there to achieve healthy clean skin, only to be left disappointed. I know what it’s like to be on both sides which is why this episode I’ll be demystifying skincare once and for all. I’ll be sharing my routine for clear skin, the ins and outs of ethical skincare, and my tips on achieving that healthy glow.Follow Along:Follow me on Instagram: http://bit.ly/BrionyINSTA -Follow Adorn Cosmetics: http://bit.ly/AdrnCosINSTA -Sign up to be an Adorner and receive a special offer on all things Adorn Cosmetics: http://bit.ly/AdrnCosWEB -Join the Imperfectly Perfect Mummas Group: http://bit.ly/PerfMumFB -Follow our producers, The Peers Project: http://bit.ly/TPPINSTA -Products Mentioned:Botanical Cleansers - https://bit.ly/2U80Uxm -Waffle Weave Cloth - https://bit.ly/2yZO5xF -Bulgarian Rosewater Mist - https://bit.ly/36YLLna -Superfood Facial Oils -https://bit.ly/3dx3aG8 -Bamboo Facial Polish - https://bit.ly/2Y2ieVP - See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

10. My Guide to Ethical Skincare

All of us need a supportive community; to celebrate with during the good times and lean on with the bad. Yet, finding a group of people who make us feel seen and understood through the highs and lows of life is often easier said than done. In this episode, I share how I found a thriving community of like-minded women through a Facebook group, how all of us can embrace vulnerability to seek companionship, and my advice on overcoming feelings of isolation in a world that won’t stop moving. Follow Along:Follow me on Instagram: http://bit.ly/BrionyINSTA -Follow Adorn Cosmetics: http://bit.ly/AdrnCosINSTA -Sign up to be an Adorner and receive a special offer on all things Adorn Cosmetics: http://bit.ly/AdrnCosWEB -Join the Imperfectly Perfect Mummas Group: http://bit.ly/PerfMumFB -Follow our producers, The Peers Project: http://bit.ly/TPPINSTA - See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

9. An Imperfectly Perfect Community

If you’re feeling the pressure to do a bit everything – all at once, you’re not alone. When it comes to juggling motherhood and a career, plus your own wellbeing, it’s normal to feel like your best is never enough. But, it simply doesn’t have to be this way. This week, I’m busting the myth that we have to ‘do it all.’ Instead, I share how we can challenge our idea of perfection, be more compassionate to ourselves, and let go of elements of the past dragging us down.Follow Along:Follow me on Instagram: http://bit.ly/BrionyINSTA -Follow Adorn Cosmetics: http://bit.ly/AdrnCosINSTA -Sign up to be an Adorner and receive a special offer on all things Adorn Cosmetics: http://bit.ly/AdrnCosWEB -Join the Imperfectly Perfect Mummas Group: http://bit.ly/PerfMumFB -Follow our producers, The Peers Project: http://bit.ly/TPPINSTA - See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

8. The Myth of Doing it All

For many of us, money is a deeply sensitive and often triggering topic. Yet, our ability to properly manage our finances has never been more timely. It’s not too late to get in control. In this episode, I divulge my relationship with money and the strategies I use to manage my finances. I also share how we as women can grow to stop feeling guilty about this area of our life and how we can reevaluate our spending habits and set foundational goals.Follow Along:Follow me on Instagram: http://bit.ly/BrionyINSTA -Follow Adorn Cosmetics: http://bit.ly/AdrnCosINSTA -Sign up to be an Adorner and receive a special offer on all things Adorn Cosmetics: http://bit.ly/AdrnCosWEB -Join the Imperfectly Perfect Mummas Group: http://bit.ly/PerfMumFB -Follow our producers, The Peers Project: http://bit.ly/TPPINSTA - See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
