People First

Kirstene is a 25 year old teacher of Life Design, online business coach in the personal branding space and leader of the @the530club.penrith. She wears quite a few hats but they all have a common thread; empowering people to unlock what lights them and working in alignment with their purpose. In this episode, we explored her story - from a traditional Maltese upbringing to matters related to self-worth to unlocking her passion (a major component of healing self-worth issues), as well as designing her career in alignment with those passions. She was never willing to settle for a job that gave her a “Sunday arvo dread” and she graciously (but sternly) challenges people to not settle either. KC is running a free two-day mastermind on Tuesday 13th April-Wednesday 14th April via her FB group - The Side Hustle Movement - which will focus on helping people unlock what lights them up, as well as how they can create an authentic online business with that at the forefront. For access to that mastermind, follow KC on her socials, reach out to her DMs (she loves to chat) or look out for the opportunity to secure your spot in her mastermind (replays will be available).
