In this episode of Drip Trickle Flow Flood, we sit down we sit down with Quinn Tempest—business strategist, speaker, and founder of the Create Your Purpose Collective—to talk about how money doesn’t just show up in one form.

Quinn opens up about her journey building a purpose-fueled business that reflects every season of her life. From early clients to building a thriving membership and coaching model, Quinn breaks down exactly how she diversified her income, weathered market changes, and navigated big pivots with both courage and clarity.

This is a must-listen for anyone in business who’s ever wondered if it’s okay to change their mind, revisit a revenue stream, or pause for a season without losing momentum. (Spoiler: it absolutely is.)

Episode Highlights:

• Why burnout is an invitation to realign your business with your values.
• How to frame pivots and “step backs” as aligned, strategic moves.
• Energy freedom > time freedom. Success isn’t just about hours worked or revenue—it’s about how you feel while doing the work.
• Your business can change with you. Quinn shares how motherhood shifted not only her schedule but also her mindset and goals.
• Know your numbers. Tracking income by category (hello, heat maps!) gave Quinn the clarity to make smarter, more intentional decisions.
• Curiosity is your compass. You don’t need to know the whole path. Just follow what lights you up and experiment from there.
