How to create your own definition of success and stop caring what other people think, with Emmelie Coulson

How to create your own definition of success and stop caring what other people think, with Emmelie Coulson

Season 12, Episode 95: Show Up and Be Heard

In this episode, I chat to Emmelie Coulson about redefining success on your own terms, balancing ambition with the things that matter most, and questioning the pressure to constantly grow.

We talk about family, flexibility, money, sacrifice, social media, the “you can have it all” narrative, and why sometimes you need to try things for yourself before you know whether they’re actually right for you.

Most importantly, we talk about giving yourself permission to decide what a successful life looks like for you, even if it doesn’t look particularly impressive to anyone else.

If you enjoyed this episode or found it useful, then I would really appreciate if you could take just a few minutes to give it a review on whatever platform you are listening on - because every one I get really does make me do a little squeal and a happy dance!

ABOUT EMMELIE:

Emmelie Coulson is a brand designer and illustrator based in Lanark, Scotland, and the founder of Emmelie Coulson Design. After having her second child, she left employment to start her own business as a VA and a couple of years later pivoted to brand design and illustrations, the work she's truly passionate about. She's been running her business for almost five years, working predominantly with female founders, and co-hosts Small Biz Big Chat, a monthly networking event for women in business. Emmelie has built her business intentionally around the life she wants (not the other way around) and that's exactly what she's here to talk about.
