(00:25):
Good morning, everyone. Welcome back to another episode of the Active Action Podcast.
Depending like where you are in the world and how are you hearing to this podcast,
is it by YouTube or Spotify, Amazon Music, Apple Podcast, or even from the ActiveAction.fm website.
Depending on where you're hearing, it might be your day and night, but a very good morning to everyone.
(00:51):
Because today in Edmonton, Canada, it's a morning and it's a Saturday.
So today I have a wonderful guest with me.
So I'll just introduce her when I bring her to my platform right now.
Good morning, Olivia Blaine. How are you doing?
(01:12):
Good morning. I'm doing well.
Thank you. Very nice to hear that, Olivia.
So today, dear audience, our topic for this podcast is importance of following your passion and monetizing it.
But before we take a deeper dive into the topic, let us know like a bit about from our guest from today's episode from herself.
(01:40):
So, Olivia, if you can kind of let our audience know who you are and where you're from.
So, yeah, just let's get beginning. Thank you.
Oh, sure. Absolutely.
So as you said, my name is Olivia Blaine.
I'm from Wisconsin. I live in Kenosha, Wisconsin, from the originally from the Menominee Reservation.
(02:07):
And so I guess to start with that for a little bit about myself, I did grow up on the reservation and then left for several reasons.
But I am currently an assistant in a school in the school setting.
So was a school counselor, but I'm working on like an online thing.
(02:30):
So I consider myself more as an entrepreneur because I'm trying to start this business and put educational materials out there to help my fellow counselors and also to help people because that's something that I'm very passionate about is being able to help people,
which is why I came up with this idea of starting to share this with people, because I'll take it back for a second.
(03:00):
So this is how kind of a little bit how this, I guess, the catalyst for this was, I was a school counselor for three years before I left.
And I was, it was a little bit of a difficult time in that, but it was good I learned a lot of things from that, and I got some experience under my belt.
(03:25):
But there's a lot of stuff that was involved in like a lot of work, red tape and some things like that, that compiled if you will I guess yeah that's a good way to say that kind of compiled.
And I started to realize that it wasn't aligning with me.
(03:50):
I really didn't like, I don't know, I was starting to get really sad and depressed, and I'm happy, and I didn't even, I found myself missing a lot of work and waking up in the morning and thinking like, Oh my god I don't want to go to work today.
I don't want to go to work today, just try or even just waking up trying to get myself to be like okay you got to get out of bed you got to go do this.
(04:15):
You know, you got to do this because, well, you know, obviously you had to work, have to work because have to pay the bills. I got a mortgage to pay for and everything but I'm like, also there were days when I'm just like I gotta go.
Because I gotta go see these students and deliver these important lessons and talk to the students because I look forward to seeing me when I do come into the schools.
(04:39):
When I was a K counselor I had like four different schools I went to.
And like I said that that feeling of.
It was like a feeling of being trapped.
And I felt like I felt really sad depressed, I didn't think I could go anywhere else because I struggled so hard to get my master's degree.
(05:03):
And my counselor license, it took me like five tries on the practicum test to get that. And I was like, and I can't quit this because how am I going to pay for everything, if I go, you know, if I just quit and I go do something else how am I going to end all these thoughts were
just coming to me.
I don't know I felt stuck. I really felt stuck. But I felt I had reached out to some people so I was a part of a group, and I had some people that I guess you could say took me under their wing, because they went through the same things like that.
(05:40):
And one day I was when I was joining in the virtual meeting, like I thought it was hiding but I really broke down. I was crying really really bad.
You know just driving to I was driving to work because I talked myself into going to work, I was just like, I don't know I was a mess. When I was driving to work but um, somebody noticed that and they said something and like everybody started being so like, Oh my gosh, are you okay.
(06:07):
And the message is like sharing all these good things, like passing on the good vibes and somebody reached out to me and we started talking and she was like yeah, remind me of myself and, you know, it started to help me.
I guess, pick myself up yeah that's it like pick myself up and figure this out and then I started to think like you know what.
(06:30):
Hmm. Why am I, why am I even thinking this, why am I, why am I like this. I have a master's degree, I have worked so many other jobs, I can do so many other things, I got through this counseling thing flailing but I figured things out.
I'm very resourceful and very resilient.
(06:51):
Why am I still here. Why am I putting myself through this.
For no reason. And I was like, trying to do a marketing agency, only for the money.
But I couldn't do it because I knew it was for the wrong reasons. I didn't have a big enough why and this and that. So I quit that because one day, I don't know just out of the blue.
(07:14):
When I woke up and I was getting dressed, and it came to me like you know what you need to go out and do this. Do your, do your stuff like put up put together a podcast and help people get through this, do this because you're going to get through this
and this is going to be great.
You're going to be able to make it through this, and I started thinking about that and I had because I had already put on a journal, an inspiring journal with some decorations.
(07:44):
That's wonderful. That's wonderful. Really cool journal that I sold and another, oh I went to a, so I went to a lot of webinars, excuse me.
I went to a lot of workshops and I've spoken, you know, met people, and I met some of the people in person from that group. And we were talking about that and they inspired me to really they're like yeah you should just go and do it.
(08:07):
And I was, you know, things like that really started to build up for me. And I started thinking on that more and I'm like you know what they're right.
This, this isn't me this isn't my end the moment or this, you know, I can, I can totally do more I don't have this isn't who I am the same 100% me. I know I can do something else so I started thinking about that a little bit chewing on that.
(08:34):
And then all of a sudden, so we have as school counselors, they have we have these ease they're called educator effectiveness, these forms that we have to do.
And they were asking me question, because they see they do announced.
(09:04):
Like what I have gone back was were my plans to become a school counselor still, because if so they, they didn't feel like I was doing a good enough job. And they said well we want to put you on the plan.
And that was just the moment, I feel like it really just all solidified like, you know what I was thinking in my head while she was talking I'm sure she said some other things, I don't know.
(09:28):
I must can relate to that where you have where you have those moments for us, like puzzles pieces start coming together if you will. And next thing I remember here saying is like, Do you think you're going to come back next year, and I didn't even let her
finish saying whatever she else. She was going to say, I was like no I'm not coming back next year like it just flew out of my mouth I, I brain and even have time to catch up I was like no I'm not.
(09:55):
I was like, Are you serious, how serious like one to five five being like, or one like I'm super serious or something like that or five like something like that scale and I was just like, no, five not coming back.
I'm not I'm going to do something else. I know it because.
And then she's like okay because we have to put, like I said, we have to put this plan together for you, and da da da da da and I'm sure I can just kind of elaborate on that a little bit people know whenever at work.
(10:24):
Or some people don't they say that they put a plan in place for you.
That really means that you're, they don't like your performance, and they want to see you know see if you'll follow it, and I already knew that since I didn't.
I had some guidance but not as much as I could have.
But we could see, like, down the down the line in the way I guess not I hate to say I like the future but like I could make sense of how that was going to go. And I could already see them like letting me go because they're saying, I miss too much work because
(10:59):
that was another thing too I missed a lot of work, I burn a lot of my sick days because I just couldn't do it. I just couldn't. There were a lot of days I just couldn't go I called in.
And I either I get fired for missing too much work, or they'd have something to be like yeah you know we don't like your performance you didn't follow it x y and z.
And then put me out and I'm like, and get fired for what, what, you know, this isn't right so that's why I knew like no, I know that I can do this.
(11:29):
I had created a lot of my own classroom materials that I use. And I got encouragement from other teachers and I sought feedback from other teachers for like how I could do it better, or to make it really good and like so I created some games to play
with the kids to teach them about careers. And one teacher was like you know you should really sell that stuff. That's great. People would love that, and it was just a bunch of things that kind of stacked together that made me that made it real
(11:56):
like I realized like yeah, this is not me, I don't have to do this, I got other paths, I just gotta be willing to, I guess, go, go through it.
And it's been some time now fast forward from that time back in February last year, when that happened. And honestly I don't hold any bad feelings about that, like no regrets no, no resentment or anything like that because I thought of how great
(12:25):
I was.
And I needed that.
Sometimes we need that push out of our comfort zone like that. We need those things to happen to springboard us to the thing.
And I was able to see that and turn it into something positive, because when you're comfortable, like I know if they had not done anything like that I can say with certainty that had they not started that and that wasn't the thing.
(12:54):
I have just kind of meandered along, if you will, in the counselor path for a few more years before I decided to do something else and, or maybe say I don't know, but that was a good thing like so there's always lessons to learn.
And I'm finding that out that I don't even like to say losses anymore. So when people like when people think about taking the L or something like that like they try to make put that positive spin on that. I'm like, yeah, it's not a loss.
(13:24):
It's a lesson. We have. There's lessons to be learning that. And now, I've just been able to. So going as an assistant I've been able to take the time have the time to get my materials developed.
I need to figure out a way to print them and all that but I'm so super excited about that so I'm gonna get this stuff out there and get people get these materials out there to people, teachers and staff and parents that are going to love this stuff for their kids
(13:50):
to talk about careers how to get to a career and things like that. So, and my heart is so happy right now. I can't even tell you. So I was like, people asked me that to like how could you leave that job.
And I take such a pay cut them like you know what my mental health. I realized, so much more important than the money. And then what I wasn't even going to go to work anyway so how was I even going to get the money.
(14:20):
But yeah, I'm just so, so I'm so grateful for a lot of things that happened, the way they did like that.
Thank you so much for sharing the experience all of you and I really kind of resonate with that and appreciate it because I feel a fear for many of the people is that what will what will happen if I leave my stable job if I live, like, you know, like a
(14:43):
like a guaranteed security, but in those like security and stable and in those vortex of thoughts and words, whatever we say that we get lost and we forget that we ourselves would have a passion with ourself would have something that we would do something
(15:05):
that we would really like to do. And we kind of like are very afraid to follow that, especially in terms of you know like small businesses or even entrepreneurs, I really recommend the entrepreneurs because they're very courageous.
They took that one extra step that one big step out of their career. Just try out something new, but more importantly, like be happy. Feel happy while doing that.
(15:36):
And, you know, I know like, I know people like they have been working on their job, and I'm not saying that any of the desk jobs or any of the regular jobs are doing is bad. Everything is like, everything we do is like to our, our livelihood to pay our bills to
to put food on our on the table for our family and ourselves. But there are certain things that if you, when you're working, if you don't enjoy it, there will be definitely an impact of that in your work.
(16:07):
If you don't enjoy your work, your work, you will definitely not deliver good results. So, I know like it's a very risky step like, as Olivia mentioned that she was thinking about like what's going to happen in the future, but she was thinking
about like all those like things that the paycheck cuts but she didn't care for those you know, because it's very important like I commend you for that and I, I know like my audiences will take some inspiration, especially audience if you feel that if you're stuck in a
(16:40):
you're stuck in a vortex of a job where you don't like it but you have to do it anyway, in terms of in order to like support your family and things. Maybe like try out something new, maybe keep that also, but try out is a part in a part time of something new and if you see
that coming out for you, you can definitely like take that as a big kind of thing, you know, a major kind of thing. I know like YouTubers and others like who had like regular job, desktops but they're just like YouTube being a lot so they have just like quit
(17:14):
their job and now doing content creation full time so there are things that there are things that we can do to keep our mental and even like our health, good in a good condition, and in okay condition as well.
So, Olivia I would like to like, ask you a bit about because I know like you have been like an entrepreneur. So, and that, that was your passion so how do you know like what your passion is.
(17:45):
Can you please like tell me.
Yeah, and if I could just kind of step back a little bit for that too yes I don't want to make it sound like you have to leave your job or that having a regular job is something bad, because I am, I had to stick my, my last few months out and my job
was so bad because I would have had to pay to, to break my, to break my contract. But I found ways to make, you know, do my job but then like kind of still balance it so that's definitely.
(18:18):
Like you said I like that you said you mentioned that that you know, do your, do your stuff and do what you got to do but like really focusing on your passion that you like that yep that's how we go.
And then leading it that's so then that's kind of a good segue to this so how do you know what your passion is.
(18:39):
It's, it seems like it might be hard to figure out what it is. But if you just like take a look at maybe write down stuff that you like to do.
How much time you spend on stuff let's say, if you see, like you see me, I have, I got Canva, and I bought the premium subscription, what is it like $13 a month or something like that.
(19:03):
And I create things like every single day, and I see myself creating things and I helped people create images create posters and stuff like that and I didn't even you know like the time would go by and it was like oh wow I just, I just went through
every hours, creating stuff on camera Wow it's already, you know, it'd be like I go on to six o'clock when I come home and I'd be like, well it's already nine o'clock, and it's time to go to bed.
(19:30):
And I couldn't believe how fast the time would go by, but I'll even every little bit of time that adds up like you see, it'll show you what you're, that's how you can see what you're passionate about because you get in there.
And you do something and you do it and you just like you just go you just do it and then the time is your, you can't believe how much time you spend on something because the time goes by like that.
(19:53):
You really enjoy it. And you can feel the difference to like I said when I tried to do that marketing agency, and I joined this market on multi level marketing thing and I was going to do that I was going to do this agency for to like help dentists
and people but I just could not get myself to make those calls too much to reach out to people you know to like find dentists and like, it was so tough to do that.
(20:21):
Forgive the pun if you will but it was like pulling teeth. Okay.
Like, I could not get myself to do that so I started thinking I'm like you know what I, I don't know it comes to you I really only want to do this for the money. And then I don't really even care about this.
And that's the hard thing to have, I've been noticing with that I've heard from other people and I've noticed firsthand that if you don't have, you don't feel good about doing it, and you have to force yourself to do it.
(20:52):
I know that's not the right thing for you. But sometimes it takes a lot to just admit it to yourself out loud like, why am I doing this? I don't even have a good why behind it.
I don't, I don't like this so I need to stop doing that and focus it on something else that's going to be more productive for me.
Thank you thank you so much, Olivia for that thought and perspective.
(21:18):
You are listening to the Active Action podcast. Visit activeactionpodcast.com to explore all episodes. Active Action podcast, where voices inspire and entertain.
I also feel like passion is something that you just feel good doing. I can relate to your experience with Canva because I use it too and you know like how we create like stuffs and materials, visual materials in Canva.
(21:49):
Like you don't do you don't feel exhausted, to be honest, like when you do that, I myself, I don't feel exhausted, and I really enjoy it, you know, creating visual presentations on Canva.
Part of that be part of the reason might be because it's not my work. It's not my, it's not like earning my bread, but I'm actually like doing something that is that I really like for my pleasure and my passion.
(22:16):
And this is something where I'll come a bit later about monetizing your passion. So, if you can somehow like earn from your passion. That is the best thing that you can have in your life.
You're doing something that you love, but at the same time you're earning from that. So I'll definitely like come, come up to this point about like monetizing but I just want to like ask you a bit.
(22:42):
Olivia, why do you feel like, why is it important to follow your passion?
What do you think about that?
Well, I say, it's important to follow your passion, because if you think about in terms of like, okay I'm just going along with doing what I have to do.
(23:06):
Doing a job because it pays well.
But then you start to not be as, you know, you lose that happiness and because I've always been a really bubbly person and really, you know, just so outgoing because I just like do and when I get stuck in stuff that I don't like and you, you can kind of lie to yourself or whatever you could, whatever you want to call it.
(23:34):
And then act like you know no I'm not, I'm not I'm okay in that but like you can feel it in your body that you don't feel good, you have those moments where you're just like oh my god I don't want to go to work today.
And you're just like is it Friday yet, working towards Friday working for the weekend.
And when the weekend comes you're enjoying it but then when this Monday and you're like oh my god I gotta go back to work. And you just dread though you have those dreading feelings about that.
(24:02):
And when it makes you depressed.
I feel like that really can lead to depression. When you don't have a purpose, and you don't have a passion.
And you're just doing something because people are like you but you have to get a job you have to do this you have to do that.
And you don't get time to do anything that you want.
(24:24):
And that's really tough to be.
You know, the thoughts of depression and battle with that actually, you know, I'm thinking about looking, I'm actually looking for a school, I want to, I think I'm going to go for my PhD because I wanted to do that to get a PhD but I didn't know what I wanted to
(24:45):
get it in.
I don't have a dissertation that I really would be able to defend but I think this is what I want to do is find some stuff about depression because I, I think that there's something in relationship to that that when you have your passion, and you're doing what
you love and you, you know, even if you have to do some stuff with what you don't want to do because you know let's face it in every job there's portions to when you're just like, you just have a day when like I don't want to do this.
(25:13):
I just want to go for out or whatever. Anyway, but for the most part, you feel really good like you can feel it in your body all over your body feels good you don't have that tense feeling.
You don't feel all locked up. And, you know, you, you can't wait to wake up in the morning like I wake up early in the morning now because I'm just like, yes, I want to start get working on this a little bit before I go into work.
(25:34):
I want to work on this, and you just, you get that feeling back and I think there's something to that that you don't if you lack that some depression sets in, and we can really be wasting away because of that.
And so I don't know exactly how I want to state my dissertation but it's going to be along those lines, and I don't know I'm just like I don't even know how many pay for my PhD, but I just know like my whole projects with my things, I just know that like look,
(26:07):
I need to do this the world needs it. So I'm just going to go out there and put on the work and do it because the world needs this.
I love that perspective, Olivia and thank you so much for explaining to the audience like, why is it like important to follow your passion and what considerations do you have to take when you do that.
(26:30):
So at this moment, I'll be moving on to a very interesting part which I just mentioned about monetizing your passion so I just want to know from you, Olivia and your perspective that how do you actually monetize the work that you love.
Well, I've already.
(26:53):
Like I said I've already started. I have some examples.
I made my bingo cards that I'm going to do and I made my like memory game. So I, because I wanted to have that first of all I didn't want to go to any shows.
It seemed weird to not have any examples or not have anything made so I was like I need to focus on this. I need to, I need to create this.
(27:15):
And I've created some other things on top of that just because I don't know if the pieces all come together as you work on it. And if you work on you think you kind of just, it kind of like I said it comes together, I can't explain it any better than that.
And it kind of made me like oh you know so there's American school counselor Association in July this summer. So I'm like, I need to go there, and I need to find some other educational fairs and or were like educators meet up or things like that because
(27:48):
I'm on the table. And not only do I have like my prototype but I'll have some if people are when people are ready to buy them. And I'll be in the right crowd because you have to find the right crowd.
And be willing to, I guess, I best say this but like just really believe you know like really just wholeheartedly do this, and find the right people because when you end that maybe not tell everybody this is something that I just recently piece together that instead
(28:19):
of telling everybody like oh yeah I'm going to do this I'm going to do this I'm going to do this, just like, go out there and do it and make it, you know, make the stuff make it happen.
And then do that and the right people like your right audience because you can tell every all kinds of people, but you're going to run into people that are like, oh, that's not going to work.
Why would you do that, but you know just like even if you say like oh I want to be an entrepreneur I want to start a.
(28:45):
You know yoga business or something like that people say oh, there's so many yoga studios out there already you can't do that this what about this and that and too many people with low vibrations like that and you have to learn how to just be like, okay.
I'm sharing my dreams with everyone, because not everyone gets it and there's a lot of people that probably had big dreams but somehow they got stomped on, or whatever happened.
(29:16):
And so they gave up on their dreams, and then they try to like make people feel better like oh but what about this what about that.
It seems really more like talking somebody out of something. And I've learned a lot of these lessons and when when the time is, I feel like you just got to keep working on it but the time will come and it up.
It just really does it just kind of clicks and comes together, and each piece comes and eventually I'm like, in a year from now and be like oh yeah so so many bingo games and this and that.
(29:47):
Just because you got you got to believe in yourself that much I told one of my close friends already I was like I already see myself at the table and ask up, selling my cards, selling them this and that and like all this big stuff because shooting for not just making
like little goals like oh I'm just going to do this little thing you have to really be willing to do, like, see big pictures.
(30:11):
And I've learned that too I've learned some stuff, some things to from Grant Cardone I don't know the 10x rule, I don't know if you've ever read that book, or be obsessed with the average.
Those books.
They change, they changed my life, they helped me to.
They helped me to get out of my phone too, and I found out, reading a lot of other things like that people that are entrepreneurs, the successful people that are doing it out there, read a lot of books and they learn things they're not just like, oh I don't
(30:43):
know about this book or you know complain about that like they'll find something even if it's a little nugget in there, they'll find something.
And that truly is helpful. I mean, I don't know if I guess I should ask you if I can talk about that but for sure, what is the name of the book again.
The 10x rule by Grant Cardone, and then there's another one called be obsessed or be average.
(31:07):
And that really resonated with me because I really always am extreme, like take things to the extreme and I always felt like something was wrong with me for what I was wanting to improve things do better and that when people are like okay that's good enough, wow, really
you know simmer down. And I couldn't explain any of that but just listening to that. I'm like okay so now I don't. I am I'm careful about what I tell, I don't share it to everybody and I just do it, because I'm not going to let anybody ruin my, ruin my ambitions, crush
(31:41):
my dream.
Thank you so much. Thank you so much, Olivia for explaining those and thank you so thank you for the wonderful tips and tricks that you shared.
I'm sure my audience would find some of those that really helpful and take inspiration from that. At this moment I just want to talk to you about a bit, and I know like I have to be convergent about time but I just want to talk to you a bit that you have
(32:09):
created a hopeful one. So would you like to speak a bit about that and also like.
I have to create things if you like.
I don't feel right if I can't express my creativity so I created this song because I wanted to teach people the basics of sewing because I like sewing I have to sell a lot of my own stuff because I'm short.
So I have a lot of my own pants and I thought you know what this is a good, this is a good skill for people to at least know how to fit like fix a button. If a button breaks on their jacket or something or somebody else short like me and has to have
(32:43):
a really nice pants you can hem hem up your pants, or you can pay somebody to if that's the case you know no worries but I like that and I've also been refreshing things so I've made some videos of things that I've refreshed some pants that I fixed that
I put lace to flowers to and I made this one, I took a tweed jacket I cut off sleeves, and some lace to it and stuff like that because that's, that's, that's the kind of stuff that I like is like kind of unique or a twist on clothes because I don't know like I like some
(33:17):
clothing in the store but I also do like to put my own spin on things if you will. And yeah that that is definitely something that I love to do I love sewing and creating things so I just want to share that with people.
And wonderful example so of how passion can look like audience. So, this is a wonderful example like if you really like like what you do, you can do all sorts of things with it, you know, even you can change it to like money making machine,
(33:49):
it's just, you have to be resilient you have to be patient, and you have to like work really hard, but not stress yourself out, it's like you're working hard to achieve your passion so you have to enjoy it while you work it's not like, oh I'm like stressing
and I have to get this done, and I have to make money know if you, if your end goal is like to make money, everyone's end goal is to make money but if your sole purpose is to get is to make money and just be all time stress about that, that won't work out,
(34:20):
that won't get you much money so you have to enjoy your work in terms of like getting your true inspiration and true actions into that work so when you enjoy it, you will get good results, excellent results, and you'll make money so just wanted to like,
thank you so thank you all of it again to come to this podcast and speak a bit about yourself, about your passion and inspiring our audiences on how they can actually, you know, break their fear or follow to their passion and even like how they can put some
(34:55):

Depending like where you are in the world and how are you hearing to this podcast,

Depending on where you're hearing, it might be your day and night, but a very good morning to everyone.
(00:51):
Because today in Edmonton, Canada, it's a morning and it's a Saturday.
So today I have a wonderful guest with me.
So I'll just introduce her when I bring her to my platform right now.
Good morning, Olivia Blaine. How are you doing?
(01:12):
Good morning. I'm doing well.
Thank you. Very nice to hear that, Olivia.
So today, dear audience, our topic for this podcast is importance of following your passion and monetizing it.
But before we take a deeper dive into the topic, let us know like a bit about from our guest from today's episode from herself.
(01:40):
So, Olivia, if you can kind of let our audience know who you are and where you're from.
So, yeah, just let's get beginning. Thank you.
Oh, sure. Absolutely.
So as you said, my name is Olivia Blaine.
I'm from Wisconsin. I live in Kenosha, Wisconsin, from the originally from the Menominee Reservation.
(02:07):
And so I guess to start with that for a little bit about myself, I did grow up on the reservation and then left for several reasons.
But I am currently an assistant in a school in the school setting.
So was a school counselor, but I'm working on like an online thing.
(02:30):
So I consider myself more as an entrepreneur because I'm trying to start this business and put educational materials out there to help my fellow counselors and also to help people because that's something that I'm very passionate about is being able to help people,
which is why I came up with this idea of starting to share this with people, because I'll take it back for a second.
(03:00):
So this is how kind of a little bit how this, I guess, the catalyst for this was, I was a school counselor for three years before I left.
And I was, it was a little bit of a difficult time in that, but it was good I learned a lot of things from that, and I got some experience under my belt.
(03:25):
But there's a lot of stuff that was involved in like a lot of work, red tape and some things like that, that compiled if you will I guess yeah that's a good way to say that kind of compiled.
And I started to realize that it wasn't aligning with me.
(03:50):
I really didn't like, I don't know, I was starting to get really sad and depressed, and I'm happy, and I didn't even, I found myself missing a lot of work and waking up in the morning and thinking like, Oh my god I don't want to go to work today.
I don't want to go to work today, just try or even just waking up trying to get myself to be like okay you got to get out of bed you got to go do this.
(04:15):
You know, you got to do this because, well, you know, obviously you had to work, have to work because have to pay the bills. I got a mortgage to pay for and everything but I'm like, also there were days when I'm just like I gotta go.
Because I gotta go see these students and deliver these important lessons and talk to the students because I look forward to seeing me when I do come into the schools.
(04:39):
When I was a K counselor I had like four different schools I went to.
And like I said that that feeling of.
It was like a feeling of being trapped.
And I felt like I felt really sad depressed, I didn't think I could go anywhere else because I struggled so hard to get my master's degree.
(05:03):
And my counselor license, it took me like five tries on the practicum test to get that. And I was like, and I can't quit this because how am I going to pay for everything, if I go, you know, if I just quit and I go do something else how am I going to end all these thoughts were
just coming to me.
I don't know I felt stuck. I really felt stuck. But I felt I had reached out to some people so I was a part of a group, and I had some people that I guess you could say took me under their wing, because they went through the same things like that.
(05:40):
And one day I was when I was joining in the virtual meeting, like I thought it was hiding but I really broke down. I was crying really really bad.
You know just driving to I was driving to work because I talked myself into going to work, I was just like, I don't know I was a mess. When I was driving to work but um, somebody noticed that and they said something and like everybody started being so like, Oh my gosh, are you okay.
(06:07):
And the message is like sharing all these good things, like passing on the good vibes and somebody reached out to me and we started talking and she was like yeah, remind me of myself and, you know, it started to help me.
I guess, pick myself up yeah that's it like pick myself up and figure this out and then I started to think like you know what.
(06:30):
Hmm. Why am I, why am I even thinking this, why am I, why am I like this. I have a master's degree, I have worked so many other jobs, I can do so many other things, I got through this counseling thing flailing but I figured things out.
I'm very resourceful and very resilient.
(06:51):
Why am I still here. Why am I putting myself through this.
For no reason. And I was like, trying to do a marketing agency, only for the money.
But I couldn't do it because I knew it was for the wrong reasons. I didn't have a big enough why and this and that. So I quit that because one day, I don't know just out of the blue.
(07:14):
When I woke up and I was getting dressed, and it came to me like you know what you need to go out and do this. Do your, do your stuff like put up put together a podcast and help people get through this, do this because you're going to get through this
and this is going to be great.
You're going to be able to make it through this, and I started thinking about that and I had because I had already put on a journal, an inspiring journal with some decorations.
(07:44):
That's wonderful. That's wonderful. Really cool journal that I sold and another, oh I went to a, so I went to a lot of webinars, excuse me.
I went to a lot of workshops and I've spoken, you know, met people, and I met some of the people in person from that group. And we were talking about that and they inspired me to really they're like yeah you should just go and do it.
(08:07):
And I was, you know, things like that really started to build up for me. And I started thinking on that more and I'm like you know what they're right.
This, this isn't me this isn't my end the moment or this, you know, I can, I can totally do more I don't have this isn't who I am the same 100% me. I know I can do something else so I started thinking about that a little bit chewing on that.
(08:34):
And then all of a sudden, so we have as school counselors, they have we have these ease they're called educator effectiveness, these forms that we have to do.
And they were asking me question, because they see they do announced.
(09:04):
Like what I have gone back was were my plans to become a school counselor still, because if so they, they didn't feel like I was doing a good enough job. And they said well we want to put you on the plan.
And that was just the moment, I feel like it really just all solidified like, you know what I was thinking in my head while she was talking I'm sure she said some other things, I don't know.
(09:28):
I must can relate to that where you have where you have those moments for us, like puzzles pieces start coming together if you will. And next thing I remember here saying is like, Do you think you're going to come back next year, and I didn't even let her
finish saying whatever she else. She was going to say, I was like no I'm not coming back next year like it just flew out of my mouth I, I brain and even have time to catch up I was like no I'm not.
(09:55):
I was like, Are you serious, how serious like one to five five being like, or one like I'm super serious or something like that or five like something like that scale and I was just like, no, five not coming back.
I'm not I'm going to do something else. I know it because.
And then she's like okay because we have to put, like I said, we have to put this plan together for you, and da da da da da and I'm sure I can just kind of elaborate on that a little bit people know whenever at work.
(10:24):
Or some people don't they say that they put a plan in place for you.
That really means that you're, they don't like your performance, and they want to see you know see if you'll follow it, and I already knew that since I didn't.
I had some guidance but not as much as I could have.
But we could see, like, down the down the line in the way I guess not I hate to say I like the future but like I could make sense of how that was going to go. And I could already see them like letting me go because they're saying, I miss too much work because
(10:59):
that was another thing too I missed a lot of work, I burn a lot of my sick days because I just couldn't do it. I just couldn't. There were a lot of days I just couldn't go I called in.
And I either I get fired for missing too much work, or they'd have something to be like yeah you know we don't like your performance you didn't follow it x y and z.
And then put me out and I'm like, and get fired for what, what, you know, this isn't right so that's why I knew like no, I know that I can do this.
(11:29):
I had created a lot of my own classroom materials that I use. And I got encouragement from other teachers and I sought feedback from other teachers for like how I could do it better, or to make it really good and like so I created some games to play
with the kids to teach them about careers. And one teacher was like you know you should really sell that stuff. That's great. People would love that, and it was just a bunch of things that kind of stacked together that made me that made it real
(11:56):
like I realized like yeah, this is not me, I don't have to do this, I got other paths, I just gotta be willing to, I guess, go, go through it.
And it's been some time now fast forward from that time back in February last year, when that happened. And honestly I don't hold any bad feelings about that, like no regrets no, no resentment or anything like that because I thought of how great
(12:25):
I was.
And I needed that.
Sometimes we need that push out of our comfort zone like that. We need those things to happen to springboard us to the thing.
And I was able to see that and turn it into something positive, because when you're comfortable, like I know if they had not done anything like that I can say with certainty that had they not started that and that wasn't the thing.
(12:54):
I have just kind of meandered along, if you will, in the counselor path for a few more years before I decided to do something else and, or maybe say I don't know, but that was a good thing like so there's always lessons to learn.
And I'm finding that out that I don't even like to say losses anymore. So when people like when people think about taking the L or something like that like they try to make put that positive spin on that. I'm like, yeah, it's not a loss.
(13:24):
It's a lesson. We have. There's lessons to be learning that. And now, I've just been able to. So going as an assistant I've been able to take the time have the time to get my materials developed.
I need to figure out a way to print them and all that but I'm so super excited about that so I'm gonna get this stuff out there and get people get these materials out there to people, teachers and staff and parents that are going to love this stuff for their kids
(13:50):
to talk about careers how to get to a career and things like that. So, and my heart is so happy right now. I can't even tell you. So I was like, people asked me that to like how could you leave that job.
And I take such a pay cut them like you know what my mental health. I realized, so much more important than the money. And then what I wasn't even going to go to work anyway so how was I even going to get the money.
(14:20):
But yeah, I'm just so, so I'm so grateful for a lot of things that happened, the way they did like that.
Thank you so much for sharing the experience all of you and I really kind of resonate with that and appreciate it because I feel a fear for many of the people is that what will what will happen if I leave my stable job if I live, like, you know, like a
(14:43):
like a guaranteed security, but in those like security and stable and in those vortex of thoughts and words, whatever we say that we get lost and we forget that we ourselves would have a passion with ourself would have something that we would do something
(15:05):
that we would really like to do. And we kind of like are very afraid to follow that, especially in terms of you know like small businesses or even entrepreneurs, I really recommend the entrepreneurs because they're very courageous.
They took that one extra step that one big step out of their career. Just try out something new, but more importantly, like be happy. Feel happy while doing that.
(15:36):
And, you know, I know like, I know people like they have been working on their job, and I'm not saying that any of the desk jobs or any of the regular jobs are doing is bad. Everything is like, everything we do is like to our, our livelihood to pay our bills to
to put food on our on the table for our family and ourselves. But there are certain things that if you, when you're working, if you don't enjoy it, there will be definitely an impact of that in your work.
(16:07):
If you don't enjoy your work, your work, you will definitely not deliver good results. So, I know like it's a very risky step like, as Olivia mentioned that she was thinking about like what's going to happen in the future, but she was thinking
about like all those like things that the paycheck cuts but she didn't care for those you know, because it's very important like I commend you for that and I, I know like my audiences will take some inspiration, especially audience if you feel that if you're stuck in a
(16:40):
you're stuck in a vortex of a job where you don't like it but you have to do it anyway, in terms of in order to like support your family and things. Maybe like try out something new, maybe keep that also, but try out is a part in a part time of something new and if you see
that coming out for you, you can definitely like take that as a big kind of thing, you know, a major kind of thing. I know like YouTubers and others like who had like regular job, desktops but they're just like YouTube being a lot so they have just like quit
(17:14):
their job and now doing content creation full time so there are things that there are things that we can do to keep our mental and even like our health, good in a good condition, and in okay condition as well.
So, Olivia I would like to like, ask you a bit about because I know like you have been like an entrepreneur. So, and that, that was your passion so how do you know like what your passion is.
(17:45):
Can you please like tell me.
Yeah, and if I could just kind of step back a little bit for that too yes I don't want to make it sound like you have to leave your job or that having a regular job is something bad, because I am, I had to stick my, my last few months out and my job
was so bad because I would have had to pay to, to break my, to break my contract. But I found ways to make, you know, do my job but then like kind of still balance it so that's definitely.
(18:18):
Like you said I like that you said you mentioned that that you know, do your, do your stuff and do what you got to do but like really focusing on your passion that you like that yep that's how we go.
And then leading it that's so then that's kind of a good segue to this so how do you know what your passion is.
(18:39):
It's, it seems like it might be hard to figure out what it is. But if you just like take a look at maybe write down stuff that you like to do.
How much time you spend on stuff let's say, if you see, like you see me, I have, I got Canva, and I bought the premium subscription, what is it like $13 a month or something like that.
(19:03):
And I create things like every single day, and I see myself creating things and I helped people create images create posters and stuff like that and I didn't even you know like the time would go by and it was like oh wow I just, I just went through
every hours, creating stuff on camera Wow it's already, you know, it'd be like I go on to six o'clock when I come home and I'd be like, well it's already nine o'clock, and it's time to go to bed.
(19:30):
And I couldn't believe how fast the time would go by, but I'll even every little bit of time that adds up like you see, it'll show you what you're, that's how you can see what you're passionate about because you get in there.
And you do something and you do it and you just like you just go you just do it and then the time is your, you can't believe how much time you spend on something because the time goes by like that.
(19:53):
You really enjoy it. And you can feel the difference to like I said when I tried to do that marketing agency, and I joined this market on multi level marketing thing and I was going to do that I was going to do this agency for to like help dentists
and people but I just could not get myself to make those calls too much to reach out to people you know to like find dentists and like, it was so tough to do that.
(20:21):
Forgive the pun if you will but it was like pulling teeth. Okay.
Like, I could not get myself to do that so I started thinking I'm like you know what I, I don't know it comes to you I really only want to do this for the money. And then I don't really even care about this.
And that's the hard thing to have, I've been noticing with that I've heard from other people and I've noticed firsthand that if you don't have, you don't feel good about doing it, and you have to force yourself to do it.
(20:52):
I know that's not the right thing for you. But sometimes it takes a lot to just admit it to yourself out loud like, why am I doing this? I don't even have a good why behind it.
I don't, I don't like this so I need to stop doing that and focus it on something else that's going to be more productive for me.
Thank you thank you so much, Olivia for that thought and perspective.
(21:18):
You are listening to the Active Action podcast. Visit activeactionpodcast.com to explore all episodes. Active Action podcast, where voices inspire and entertain.
I also feel like passion is something that you just feel good doing. I can relate to your experience with Canva because I use it too and you know like how we create like stuffs and materials, visual materials in Canva.
(21:49):
Like you don't do you don't feel exhausted, to be honest, like when you do that, I myself, I don't feel exhausted, and I really enjoy it, you know, creating visual presentations on Canva.
Part of that be part of the reason might be because it's not my work. It's not my, it's not like earning my bread, but I'm actually like doing something that is that I really like for my pleasure and my passion.
(22:16):
And this is something where I'll come a bit later about monetizing your passion. So, if you can somehow like earn from your passion. That is the best thing that you can have in your life.
You're doing something that you love, but at the same time you're earning from that. So I'll definitely like come, come up to this point about like monetizing but I just want to like ask you a bit.
(22:42):
Olivia, why do you feel like, why is it important to follow your passion?
What do you think about that?
Well, I say, it's important to follow your passion, because if you think about in terms of like, okay I'm just going along with doing what I have to do.
(23:06):
Doing a job because it pays well.
But then you start to not be as, you know, you lose that happiness and because I've always been a really bubbly person and really, you know, just so outgoing because I just like do and when I get stuck in stuff that I don't like and you, you can kind of lie to yourself or whatever you could, whatever you want to call it.
(23:34):
And then act like you know no I'm not, I'm not I'm okay in that but like you can feel it in your body that you don't feel good, you have those moments where you're just like oh my god I don't want to go to work today.
And you're just like is it Friday yet, working towards Friday working for the weekend.
And when the weekend comes you're enjoying it but then when this Monday and you're like oh my god I gotta go back to work. And you just dread though you have those dreading feelings about that.
(24:02):
And when it makes you depressed.
I feel like that really can lead to depression. When you don't have a purpose, and you don't have a passion.
And you're just doing something because people are like you but you have to get a job you have to do this you have to do that.
And you don't get time to do anything that you want.
(24:24):
And that's really tough to be.
You know, the thoughts of depression and battle with that actually, you know, I'm thinking about looking, I'm actually looking for a school, I want to, I think I'm going to go for my PhD because I wanted to do that to get a PhD but I didn't know what I wanted to
(24:45):
get it in.
I don't have a dissertation that I really would be able to defend but I think this is what I want to do is find some stuff about depression because I, I think that there's something in relationship to that that when you have your passion, and you're doing what
you love and you, you know, even if you have to do some stuff with what you don't want to do because you know let's face it in every job there's portions to when you're just like, you just have a day when like I don't want to do this.
(25:13):
I just want to go for out or whatever. Anyway, but for the most part, you feel really good like you can feel it in your body all over your body feels good you don't have that tense feeling.
You don't feel all locked up. And, you know, you, you can't wait to wake up in the morning like I wake up early in the morning now because I'm just like, yes, I want to start get working on this a little bit before I go into work.
(25:34):
I want to work on this, and you just, you get that feeling back and I think there's something to that that you don't if you lack that some depression sets in, and we can really be wasting away because of that.
And so I don't know exactly how I want to state my dissertation but it's going to be along those lines, and I don't know I'm just like I don't even know how many pay for my PhD, but I just know like my whole projects with my things, I just know that like look,
(26:07):
I need to do this the world needs it. So I'm just going to go out there and put on the work and do it because the world needs this.
I love that perspective, Olivia and thank you so much for explaining to the audience like, why is it like important to follow your passion and what considerations do you have to take when you do that.
(26:30):
So at this moment, I'll be moving on to a very interesting part which I just mentioned about monetizing your passion so I just want to know from you, Olivia and your perspective that how do you actually monetize the work that you love.
Well, I've already.
(26:53):
Like I said I've already started. I have some examples.
I made my bingo cards that I'm going to do and I made my like memory game. So I, because I wanted to have that first of all I didn't want to go to any shows.
It seemed weird to not have any examples or not have anything made so I was like I need to focus on this. I need to, I need to create this.
(27:15):
And I've created some other things on top of that just because I don't know if the pieces all come together as you work on it. And if you work on you think you kind of just, it kind of like I said it comes together, I can't explain it any better than that.
And it kind of made me like oh you know so there's American school counselor Association in July this summer. So I'm like, I need to go there, and I need to find some other educational fairs and or were like educators meet up or things like that because
(27:48):
I'm on the table. And not only do I have like my prototype but I'll have some if people are when people are ready to buy them. And I'll be in the right crowd because you have to find the right crowd.
And be willing to, I guess, I best say this but like just really believe you know like really just wholeheartedly do this, and find the right people because when you end that maybe not tell everybody this is something that I just recently piece together that instead
(28:19):
of telling everybody like oh yeah I'm going to do this I'm going to do this I'm going to do this, just like, go out there and do it and make it, you know, make the stuff make it happen.
And then do that and the right people like your right audience because you can tell every all kinds of people, but you're going to run into people that are like, oh, that's not going to work.
Why would you do that, but you know just like even if you say like oh I want to be an entrepreneur I want to start a.
(28:45):
You know yoga business or something like that people say oh, there's so many yoga studios out there already you can't do that this what about this and that and too many people with low vibrations like that and you have to learn how to just be like, okay.
I'm sharing my dreams with everyone, because not everyone gets it and there's a lot of people that probably had big dreams but somehow they got stomped on, or whatever happened.
(29:16):
And so they gave up on their dreams, and then they try to like make people feel better like oh but what about this what about that.
It seems really more like talking somebody out of something. And I've learned a lot of these lessons and when when the time is, I feel like you just got to keep working on it but the time will come and it up.
It just really does it just kind of clicks and comes together, and each piece comes and eventually I'm like, in a year from now and be like oh yeah so so many bingo games and this and that.
(29:47):
Just because you got you got to believe in yourself that much I told one of my close friends already I was like I already see myself at the table and ask up, selling my cards, selling them this and that and like all this big stuff because shooting for not just making
like little goals like oh I'm just going to do this little thing you have to really be willing to do, like, see big pictures.
(30:11):
And I've learned that too I've learned some stuff, some things to from Grant Cardone I don't know the 10x rule, I don't know if you've ever read that book, or be obsessed with the average.
Those books.
They change, they changed my life, they helped me to.
They helped me to get out of my phone too, and I found out, reading a lot of other things like that people that are entrepreneurs, the successful people that are doing it out there, read a lot of books and they learn things they're not just like, oh I don't
(30:43):
know about this book or you know complain about that like they'll find something even if it's a little nugget in there, they'll find something.
And that truly is helpful. I mean, I don't know if I guess I should ask you if I can talk about that but for sure, what is the name of the book again.
The 10x rule by Grant Cardone, and then there's another one called be obsessed or be average.
(31:07):
And that really resonated with me because I really always am extreme, like take things to the extreme and I always felt like something was wrong with me for what I was wanting to improve things do better and that when people are like okay that's good enough, wow, really
you know simmer down. And I couldn't explain any of that but just listening to that. I'm like okay so now I don't. I am I'm careful about what I tell, I don't share it to everybody and I just do it, because I'm not going to let anybody ruin my, ruin my ambitions, crush
(31:41):
my dream.
Thank you so much. Thank you so much, Olivia for explaining those and thank you so thank you for the wonderful tips and tricks that you shared.
I'm sure my audience would find some of those that really helpful and take inspiration from that. At this moment I just want to talk to you about a bit, and I know like I have to be convergent about time but I just want to talk to you a bit that you have
(32:09):
created a hopeful one. So would you like to speak a bit about that and also like.
I have to create things if you like.
I don't feel right if I can't express my creativity so I created this song because I wanted to teach people the basics of sewing because I like sewing I have to sell a lot of my own stuff because I'm short.
So I have a lot of my own pants and I thought you know what this is a good, this is a good skill for people to at least know how to fit like fix a button. If a button breaks on their jacket or something or somebody else short like me and has to have
(32:43):
a really nice pants you can hem hem up your pants, or you can pay somebody to if that's the case you know no worries but I like that and I've also been refreshing things so I've made some videos of things that I've refreshed some pants that I fixed that
I put lace to flowers to and I made this one, I took a tweed jacket I cut off sleeves, and some lace to it and stuff like that because that's, that's, that's the kind of stuff that I like is like kind of unique or a twist on clothes because I don't know like I like some
(33:17):
clothing in the store but I also do like to put my own spin on things if you will. And yeah that that is definitely something that I love to do I love sewing and creating things so I just want to share that with people.
And wonderful example so of how passion can look like audience. So, this is a wonderful example like if you really like like what you do, you can do all sorts of things with it, you know, even you can change it to like money making machine,
(33:49):
it's just, you have to be resilient you have to be patient, and you have to like work really hard, but not stress yourself out, it's like you're working hard to achieve your passion so you have to enjoy it while you work it's not like, oh I'm like stressing
and I have to get this done, and I have to make money know if you, if your end goal is like to make money, everyone's end goal is to make money but if your sole purpose is to get is to make money and just be all time stress about that, that won't work out,
(34:20):
that won't get you much money so you have to enjoy your work in terms of like getting your true inspiration and true actions into that work so when you enjoy it, you will get good results, excellent results, and you'll make money so just wanted to like,
thank you so thank you all of it again to come to this podcast and speak a bit about yourself, about your passion and inspiring our audiences on how they can actually, you know, break their fear or follow to their passion and even like how they can put some

Have you ever wondered what life might be like if you stopped worrying about being wanted, and focused on understanding what you actually want? That was the question Hope Woodard asked herself after a string of situationships inspired her to take a break from sex and dating. She went "boysober," a personal concept that sparked a global movement among women looking to prioritize themselves over men. Now, Hope is looking to expand the ways we explore our relationship to relationships. Taking a bold, unfiltered look into modern love, romance, and self-discovery, Boysober will dive into messy stories about dating, sex, love, friendship, and breaking generational patterns—all with humor, vulnerability, and a fresh perspective.
