About this episode
Feeling that itch to do something more with your life? Whether you're dreaming of starting a business or just craving more purpose in your 9-to-5, this episode is your catalyst for change! Join me and the fearless Blair Blanchette as we dive into what it really takes to turn your passion into a paycheck.

Owner & creator of Be Your Kind, a modern medical and wellness center providing clients with a one stop shop to reach their individualized health and wellness goals - from acupuncture to ascetics. Blair turned her nursing degree into something that felt more purposeful and aligned with her greater picture of life & goals.

Get ready for real talk on: 

  • Blair's journey in finding a gap in her happiness and a gap in what society was providing for women (spoiler: it involves a massive leap of faith!)
  • The nitty-gritty of starting a business (we share the sides that people don't see and financial risks)
  • How to inject purpose into your work life, even if you're not ready to be your own boss
  • The mental health benefits of investing in yourself and your dreams
  • The self-development journey that comes with building a purpose-driven business
  • Strategies for maintaining work-life balance and personal health while pursuing your dreams
I'm getting vulnerable about my own career doubts and asking Blair the tough questions you've been dying to know. Plus, Call Syd Advice is all about taking that first step towards your goals & starting a passion project.

Whether you're plotting your escape from your stagnant 9-5, looking to start a side hustle, or just want to feel more aligned with your work, this episode is packed with:

  • Practical advice on building a business plan and setting SMART goals
  • Tips for managing your time when pursuing your passion
