    The Dark Side of the Soft Girl Era: Motherhood, Entrepreneurship, and Social Media’s Pressure to Be Someone You’re Not with Angie Lee

    In this episode, Paige sits down with Angie Lee for a no-filter, fly-on-the-wall conversation about the Soft Girl Era, motherhood journeys, masculine & feminine culture on Instagram & TikTok, social media influence and the messy psychology behind chasing “the slow life."   This isn’t a curated interview—we're sitting down and being brutally honest about our personal experiences with the "soft girl" lifestyle — like what happens when you buy into the narrative that slowing all the way down, frolicking in the fields, and living a “trad wife” life will make you happier. Spoiler: for some women, it’s the very thing that makes them miserable.   If you’ve ever wondered whether you should lean into the soft girl lifestyle, feel guilty for wanting something outside of motherhood, or feel like you’re doing womanhood “wrong” because you’re ambitious—this convo is a must listen, my girl <3   You’ll discover: The dark side of the Soft Girl Era—why so many women are realizing it’s not actually making them happier The fertility space problem—how rigid “do this, don’t do that” advice is wrecking women’s mental health Motherhood + ambition—why being fulfilled outside of your kids can actually make you a better mom if that's who you truly are The psychology behind why slow-living content goes viral (and why so many women secretly feel trapped by it) Our personal stories of leaving the hustle, trying the soft life, and realizing it wasn’t the answer If you’ve ever felt like you’re stuck between wanting to do it all and feeling like you’re supposed to slow down, this episode will feel like a deep exhale.     More From Unemployed:   If you liked this episode, I think you'll also like...

    Emily Duncan On Standing Out As A Multi-Passionate Entrepreneur, Balancing "Both Girl" Energy, & Why She Pulled Back From Spirituality

    The same system my client used to go from $500/m to $15,000/m in under 5 months | FREE 35 minute on demand training  In this episode, Paige sits down with Emily Duncan—multi-passionate entrepreneur, fitness coach, content creator, and brand strategist—to talk about what it really takes to build a successful brand in 2025, even if you don’t fit neatly into one “niche.” Emily gets real about how she’s grown her business as an ambivert (not an extroverted influencer type), why being a “Both Girl” has made her brand magnetic instead of confusing, and the moment she realized spirituality was actually holding her back from taking action. This conversation is raw, refreshing, and exactly what ambitious, multidimensional entrepreneurs need to hear right now. You’ll discover: Why “picking a lane” isn’t required to grow a magnetic brand (and how to stand out as a multi-passionate creator) How Emily grew a successful brand as an ambivert—and why you don’t need to be loud to be seen What “Both Girl” energy really is, and how to own your duality without confusing your audience The moment Emily realized spirituality was pulling her out of action—and how she shifted back into momentum If you’ve ever felt stuck between wanting to grow your business and wanting a life that actually feels good—this episode will hit hard.   More From Unemployed: If you liked this episode, I think you'll also like...

Over the next 16 days, we're diving deep into the tips and strategies to grow your business and build your legacy. So, what is self research? Think market research but more personal - experiencing your own product as a consumer. For example, if you're launching a membership, join a few similar ones first.

The trick is to know exactly who your ideal client is and be clear about your business vision before you start. Fine-tune your offering by experiencing other products, noting what works and what doesn’t, and improving your own. This will enhance customer satisfaction and retention. So, let's get into it!   What You'll Hear: Understanding Self Research Practical Application of Self Research Importance of Details in Self Research Be a Consumer of What You Want to Create How to avoid Diluted Products Learning from Other Programs and Events Customer Experience and Retention   Let's Connect: @paige_vandy | @unemployed.podcast   Morning Dose Daily Newsletter : Join The Newsletter FREE Guide: Building the Brand
