Join me as I chat with Ellie Kime, the vibrant founder of The Enthusiast & Co, who shares her compelling journey of transforming a passion for weddings into a thriving business during her university days. Despite facing skepticism, Ellie's story reminds us that showing up with enthusiasm can lead to a more vibrant, fulfilling life.

Tune in as we challenge limiting labels and affirm that showing up authentically in every aspect of life can create a truly meaningful existence.Ellie also opens up about maintaining passion-driven projects through personal hurdles and the transition from running a shop to a vibrant online presence.
