Episode Synopsis

In this episode of The Calm Bomb, I’m joined by the vibrant and deeply grounded Deanna Seymour — founder of The Playhouse, a grassroots business collective built for freethinking entrepreneurs who want to grow without the grind. We talk about the unglamorous reality behind most “get rich quick” promises, how fun and friendship can be the ultimate business strategy, and what it means to build something sustainable, one real connection at a time.Deanna shares her transition from being an art teacher to running a truly human-first business, how she used creativity to navigate burnout, and what it actually looks like to price, pivot, and protect your energy in an overwhelming online world. We get into everything from body liberation to budgeting, ADHD, pandemic pivots, and why Pee-wee’s Playhouse is lowkey the blueprint for authentic business.Whether you’re in a full-time job, freelance life, or somewhere in the messy middle — this episode will remind you that it’s okay to slow down, get scrappy, and do things your way. No bro-marketing. Just big-hearted, real talk.🔗 Connect with Deanna: https://deannaseymour.com/🎧 Listen + subscribe to The Calm Bomb for more grounded career + business convos.
