In this episode of Looks Like We Made It, I’m joined by Beth Hutton, who shares the story behind her journey from performing arts into running her own social media management business.

Beth speaks openly about the life experiences that shaped her — including going through a kidney transplant, and the impact it had on her health, perspective, and direction. She also shares the “why” behind becoming her own boss: after the heartbreaking loss of her son Theo, who was born premature and sadly died, Beth channelled her grief into building a life with more autonomy, purpose, and meaning.

This is a powerful, human conversation about resilience, reinvention, and what it really looks like to keep going — and create something of your own — when life changes everything.

In this episode, we cover:

  • Beth’s transition from performing arts into social media management
  • What it’s like navigating life and recovery after a kidney transplant
  • Grief, identity, and finding purpose after loss
  • Why entrepreneurship can be about freedom as much as ambition
  • Building a business that fits your life — not the other way around
