As you head into the holiday season, you may find yourself feeling hurt or triggered by certain family members. In this episode of The Daring Kind, I'll share with you how I started creating graceful boundaries with my loved ones.

In episode 21 of The Daring Kind, Host Nicole Hernandez chats with Elizabeth Taylor, the CEO of Curvy Beach. She gets real about the good, the ugly, and what it’s like to revolutionize her industry with a message of female empowerment via swimwear!

After freeing herself from diet culture and an eating disorder, Elizabeth Taylor found herself longing for a plus-sized string bikini. After a frustrating search, she decided to start her own swimwear line, Curvy Beach.

Like most entrepreneurs, Elizabeth's sales were sluggish after launching her website. However, she came across an opportunity that would forever change the course of her life. Curvy Beach was featured on Refinery29 and went viral on Facebook with more than 12 million views. Immediately, her first stock of 100 bikinis sold out in 24 hours.

Elizabeth Taylor is now on a mission to empower women through swimwear.

According to Upwork and Freelancers Union, the majority of the U.S. economy will be made up of freelancers by the year 2027.

But why? Why are we shifting towards a lifestyle of gigging it?

The “be your own boss” rhetoric is pervasive and persuasive. It promises freedom, flexibility, and meaning. The truth is that becoming your own boss comes with a slew of responsibilities like paying quarterly taxes, maintaining expenses, expensive health insurance, and finding clients. While in theory, you may not be spending time commuting, you may be trading the precious hours with family and friends on mundane administrative matters.

Meanwhile, large corporations are finding it more difficult to find and keep great talent. Many of them are simply unwilling to give their employees what they want - freedom, flexibility, and meaning. Yet, statistics show that “50% of the US workforce holds a job that is compatible with at least partial telework.”

So what’s the solution?

Remote work.

In episode 20 of The Daring Kind, Host Nicole Hernandez chats with Maryellen Stockton, the co-founder of Work Well Wherever. She and her partner help corporations successfully launch flexible work programs to lower the cost of employee attrition and create a more fulfilling and meaningful company culture.

If you’re someone who honestly knows entrepreneurship and freelancing is not for you, listen in. This episode is for you!
