Marrying Spirituality & Wellness with Beauty & Creative Business – with Alison Wu

Belief is powerful. And for Alison Wu, spirituality is deeply connected to her ongoing health and wellness journey. She embraces the woo and lets intuition guide her, making decisions based on the connection among body, mind and spirit. Alison Wu is the well-known food stylist, recipe developer and wellness writer behind Wu Haus , the blog designed to empower and inspire people to take control of their health by way of daily practices that support overall wellbeing. On her site, Alison encourages healthy, balanced eating, self-care habits as well as mindfulness and spiritual practice. Today, Alison joins me to discuss the turning point when she decided to pursue photo styling and how the Wu Haus blog eventually became her main gig. She explains her shift from vegetarian to plant-forward omnivore, sharing her intuitive approach to making choices about food and eating healthy without becoming obsessed. Alison shares her authentic social media strategy and the tools she uses to create a consistent look on her Instagram feed. She offers insight on the inclination to compare and compete with other creatives—and how to choose collaboration instead. I ask Alison about the revenue streams available to bloggers and how she determines pricing for her services. Listen in for Alison's take on perfectionism as a lifelong lesson in letting go and learn the value in forging your own spiritual path!
