Show Notes
In today's episode, I chat with Caroline Kulik, the founder of Eden Lane Interiors, who shares her fascinating experience of building a thriving business whilst still maintaining her corporate career.
Caroline conveys the pivotal moment when she realised that no one was going to hand her permission to create a different life, and that instead, she would have to take control and make that change herself, by making a business out of her passion. She describes the reality of managing both worlds as 'walking a very tight rope with a very fragile balance,' offering an honest perspective that moves beyond any superwoman narrative.
We explore how Caroline worked on her mindset to navigate the inevitable moments when it all feels too much, including developing a clear sense of purpose for her business and building a support network to lift her up on the days when self-belief wavers. She also shares how the lockdown period became a crucial turning point, when she enrolled on an interior design course, and discovered the profound impact the subsequent changes had on her family's wellbeing.
There's so much more here too; from Caroline's design philosophy, to practical interior design tips, and even a gorgeous sensory visualisation exercise. So whether you're dreaming of starting your own venture, navigating the balance between security and passion, or simply looking to transform your living space, Caroline's honesty and practical wisdom offer beautiful encouragement for the journey ahead.
Enjoy the show!
