NotBasicBlonde Podcast

Olyasha Novozhylova runs NotBasicBlonde as part lifestyle journal, part business school for creators. She started the podcast back in 2019 when she was mostly known as a fashion blogger and model, and the show has grown up right alongside her. Early episodes lean into beauty, travel, and influencer tips. More recent ones get into taxes for self-employed women, sustainable brand building, wealth mindset, and the less photogenic side of running a small company. It is an interesting arc to listen to because you can hear her thinking evolve in real time. Olya is a warm interviewer and she tends to prefer guests who actually do the work rather than guests who just talk about it, which keeps the advice grounded. Episodes release every other week and usually sit in that comfortable 45 to 60 minute range. If you are a young woman building something, whether it is a side hustle, a creative practice, or a full blown company, you will probably find at least a few episodes that feel written for your exact situation. It is not flashy and it is not trying to be, and that is kind of the point.
