The Chill Space is a weekly podcast about living more chill, more creative, and more fulfilled - without sacrificing your ambition to get there. We talk about work, money, mindset, creativity, and life through one lens: you deserve to actually enjoy what you're building.
Each week through honest solo episodes, real guest conversations, and the occasional quick hit of perspective we explore what it looks like to bring more ease, more creativity, and more of yourself into the way you work and live.
This isn't about doing less. This is your permission to do things differently.
Come hang in the chillest space online.
Most people think showing up visibly in their business means looking polished, put together, and just like everyone else in their industry. Emily Anderson has spent fifteen years proving that wrong.
In this conversation we talk about what actually happens when you keep waiting for perfect, what it looks like to build a business and a creative life on your own terms, and why the most important thing you can do for the people watching you might just be showing up before you feel ready.
We also get into what it is like to uproot your whole life and land somewhere completely unexpected, what a decade and a half behind a camera teaches you about people, and the project Emily swore she would never do and then did anyway.
If you have ever held back because something was not quite ready yet, this conversation is going to feel very familiar.

The Passive Income Conversation Nobody's Having (with Ellie McMakin)
The biggest breakthrough in your business probably isn't creating something new. It's seeing what you already have differently.
We're told the path to more freedom is simple: create another offer, launch another course, build another income stream.
But what if that's the very thing keeping us stuck?
In this conversation, Ellie McMakin challenges some of the biggest assumptions in entrepreneurship. We unpack why so many business owners stay trapped in survival mode, why passive income isn't about adding more to your plate, and how one shift in your offers can completely change the way your business supports your life.
We also dive into the future of coaching, building businesses that prioritize people over hustle, and why the best ideas often come from stepping away long enough to bake a batch of cookies.
In this episode, we talk about:
Why most entrepreneurs are solving the wrong problem
The biggest misconception about passive income
How to rethink your offers before creating something new
Why your business should fit your life—not the other way around
The future of coaching, implementation, and client support
How creativity—not productivity—might be your greatest business advantage
If you've been feeling like success is asking too much of you lately, this conversation might just give you permission to build differently.

Inside The Chill Space's New Free Online Community
In this episode, Netty shares about the free online community she started, aptly called The Chill Space, built for people who are tired of adapting, masking, and performing just to belong in a group.
She walks through the four spaces inside: Open Hours (a no-agenda, body-doubling-friendly drop-in coworking room), The Work (a monthly live guest-led experience), The Clubhouse (the social feed), and The Soft Spot (a space for harder conversations, on the poster's own terms).
She also breaks down the community's house rules: optional cameras, no forced participation, no diagnosis required, and lurking counts as belonging.
It's free, open now, and built for introverts, creatives, the neurodivergent, empaths, the highly ambitious and the highly sensitive. You don't need to fit a label to join, you just need to want to find more chill in your life.
