Social Media Decoded

From Fear to Flow: How to Build a Business That Lights You Up (w/ Haley Thomas)


Listen Later

In this inspiring episode of Social Media Decoded, host Michelle Thames sits down with Haley Thomas, founder of The Passion Pursuit, to talk about how creative entrepreneurs can stop treating their dreams like a side hustle and start building businesses that actually feel good.

Haley shares her story of walking away from the “safe” path to rediscover her joy and purpose—and how she now helps women align their values, passions, and profit to create a business that funds their dream life.

Together, Michelle and Haley dive into:
  • How to move past fear and perfectionism to take messy, aligned action
  • Why joy is the most underrated business strategy
  • How to design your business model around your lifestyle (not the other way around)
  • The power of boundaries, saying no, and protecting your energy
  • The truth about consistency and showing up when motivation fades
  • How to reconnect with your passion when burnout hits
  • This episode is a must-listen for any entrepreneur who’s ready to stop overthinking, start creating, and build a business that supports their whole life—not drains it.
