Tess has this way of making you feel like you’re not alone, like you’ve got a big sister or a bestie guiding you through all the messy, emotional, exciting parts of building something on your own. It’s not just motivational (though yes, I leave every episode inspireddd)—it’s also super practical. Tess shares the real, behind-the-scenes of content creation and entrepreneurship in a way that actually helps you take action. Whether you're just starting out or figuring out your next step, she speaks to all the pain points that come with this path in the most honest, encouraging way. Every episode feels like a cozy pep talk, and I always walk away with a little more clarity and confidence!! Every creator entrepreneur neeeeds to tune in! 🤍🤍

Can’t wait to meet you sister, I love your vibrance & wisdom. Love your pod, you inspire me🫶🏽

the vocal fry is so annoying and distracting

I've been wanting to get into content creation for a while now and always find myself seeking out advice. I came across Tess on TikTok and immediately loved her energy! The best thing about this podcast is that it is loaded with valuable content and insights. Nearly every episode is full of actionable steps you can take to become a content creator, improve your content, and understand the mental shifts needed for success in this field. I always find myself taking so many notes. For anyone aspiring to be in content creation, this is a great listen, and I truly appreciate the effort Tess puts in, it is super noticeable!

Edit: Tess you are SO inconsistent with your uploads. I used to wait excitedly for new episodes but man you often disappoint, going weeks and weeks without a new one. Tough feedback for you but you need to hear it - it’s a bad look and not professional when your brand is built largely around the podcast but you upload when you feel like it. Also the topics are gross now - it’s very girl bossy and content creation stuff. Unrelatable to someone who came here for the previous life and career chats that were applicable to everyone. Old review: Alexis is like the cutest human being in the world. 🥰 Love that I came across this podcast. - particularly due to the very real topics and non cliche advice. Keep going!!

Good advice on topics like work-life balance and moving up in your career. I love hearing about these things from successful women my age. I like the Monday episodes, but I LOVE the Friday ones. I always look forward to starting my Friday morning with Busy Blooming. More Alexis pleeease!

Love listening to Busy Blooming on my morning commute, it’s so inspirational and puts me in the best mood! I’m always looking forward to a new episode with Tess and Alexis!

Very informative and insightful. Tess and Alexis are funny and I love their intros together. Great guests :)!

I’ve been looking for great podcasts to listen to and am glad I found Tess Barclay’s. Busy blooming is definitely worth listening to! I never thought I’d get into listening to podcasts before. I also watch her YouTube videos! 💐💖🌸

Love the Podcast and more than that love Tess’s confidence ❤️

Started listening to this podcast about a week ago. I started from the beginning and now only have like five episodes left to catch up on before I have to wait every week 😭 but I am in love! I started watching Tess on YouTube a long time ago and recently decided to check out her podcast and on top of that I’ve been really trying to work on my self and listening to these podcasts just always help and there are so many things I can relate to that they talk about! I also told every one of my friends to listen because it’s just too good not to! But yeah anyway I clearly love this podcast and Tess and everyone she has on the podcast that I’ve listened to so far is just so real and NOT superficial and I love that! Keep it up please I need this podcast to get through the rest of my life! 😂💕

I love the name and what this brand stands for! I am so glad that I came across Tess on YouTube and was even more excited to find that she has a podcast dedicated to post grad topics that NO ONE talks about!! 10/10

I love listening to this podcast while I walk or on my drive to work. Very relatable

...

This podcast is sooo informative. I’m in my early 20s and have found Tess’ advice to be very useful. Can’t wait to listen more✨✨

I am loving the podcast so far! Tess is so well-spoken and relatable—I love hearing her and her guests talk about the same things I’m going through in my twenties. Can’t wait for more episodes!

I found Tess and YouTube and knew I would love this podcast! What a great way to bring women together and chat about topics not many talk about! Busy Blooming is perfect for any woman interesting in learning about post grad life.

Awesome podcast episodes! Can’t wait for more to come!

This podcast is a must for any girl in their 20s, it discusses post grad life and just navigating the crazy path that is your 20’s. So much helpful advice and so many great guests! You won’t regret listening.
