Today we have a motivating conversation with Tati Chermayeff - the person behind the popular food blog and Instagram page with a growing following of over 20 thousand, Healthful Blondie - @healthfulblondie and healthfulblondie.com. Tati, from Connecticut, is also a senior at Harvard whose instagram-page-turned-business started with a simple photography class challenge of a photo a day... and that inspired her to start posting her meals online. Previously, however, being a driven student-athlete on the crew team, and a national champion in high school at that, gave her plenty of reasons to put any creative outlets she had to the side. But when persistent injuries ultimately ended her career, Tati was forced to reassess who she was, which helped her tap into her more creative side.
Really, at its core, this episode is about listening to that little voice telling you to tap into your creativity and not listen to that voice telling you all the reasons why your project won't work or is not worth it. But on top of that, Tati gives a comprehensive behind the scenes look into just how much work goes into every post and gets very tactical for anybody wanting to start a blog or Instagram page of their own. With that said, the lessons she shares from her journey over the past year were very helpful for me, and can quite easily be generalized to anybody who wants to make something and put it out there for the world.
Along the way, you'll learn more about Tati too - her views on diets and exercise practices, her daily routines that allow her to create content every day, and a lot more. Please enjoy this one with Tati Chermayeff.
