Open Doors

Welcome back to another episode of the "I’ll Ask My Sister" podcast. Join sisters Ellen and Mads as they explore building passive income, navigating business relationships, resolving conflicts, and what to do when you feel stuck in your job! It's an episode stuffed with cosmic wisdom, practical advice, and warm sisterly banter. So, tune in and enjoy!

Ellen shares her journey of creating and launching her first digital product - a family meal planner and a pick-up and drop-off weekly planner. She talks about the initial motivation behind these products, as well as the investment in graphic design, the financial considerations., and the personal satisfaction derived from the project.

This week Mads asks Ellen to discuss an argument they’ve recently had, which leads to a bigger discussion around conflict and resolution. Working together on a creative project, like this podcast, can cause friction but they’re happy to talk it out. The sisters explore their different communication styles and decision-making processes. Ellen expresses her frustration when her ideas aren't embraced with enthusiasm, while Mads explains her need for thorough context and body-led decision-making.
