Ever feel like you’re working for “freedom”… but somehow have less of it? In this episode, Kylie chats with bleisure coach and author Emma Lovell about what it really looks like to blend business with travel, rest, and real-life self-care without burning out.

Emma shares how the concept of “bleisure” isn’t what people assume – it’s about business + leisure, and creating a life you actually enjoy now (not “one day”). They unpack the messy realities of inconsistent income, why “balance” can be a trap, and how travel can be a powerful reset for creativity and clarity.

If you’ve been craving more spaciousness, more joy, and a way to build success without living in hustle mode, this conversation will give you both mindset shifts and practical encouragement to start small and start now.
