A little about me

Hello, I'm
Eva Hyllestad.

SMILE-Preneur, mindset enthusiast and practical-growth advocate.

I believe that personal growth should help us live and work with greater clarity, confidence and possibility. Through mindset, practical tools and honest conversations, I encourage people to recognise what is possible and take their next step.

I'm a Law of Attraction Practitioner and a certified Jack Canfield Success Principles Trainer. The principles I share are ones I've explored, tested and lived myself – and I'm still learning, evolving and putting them into practice.

The person behind the work

Real experience. Honest lessons. Practical ways forward.

I'm not here to tell you that life is always easy, or that a positive mindset magically removes every obstacle. I've had twists, turns, challenges and fresh starts. They've shaped how I see growth – and how I support others. I believe in encouragement, but also in honesty, responsibility and taking action in the real world.

My journey

I've learned a lot by doing, adapting and beginning again.

My professional life has taken me through different worlds – from nursing and rehabilitation to sales, entrepreneurship, personal development and online business. But my story is about more than my work.

I was born and raised in Norway, and left in 2007. Since then, I've lived in several European countries, each bringing new experiences, people and perspectives into my life. Moving, adapting and starting afresh have taught me to stay curious and open to possibility.

I'm a mother of two and a grandmother to one beautiful boy. I worked my way through university and college to become a nurse as a single mum, while also working part-time to support myself and my children. It wasn't always easy, but it taught me determination, resourcefulness and the importance of keeping going, one step at a time.

After years in the corporate world, I began building my entrepreneurial path in 2016. Since then, I've explored mindset work, the Law of Attraction, success principles, marketing, digital tools and the many ways people can create more choice in their lives.

Some chapters have been exciting; others have asked more of me. I've had to rethink plans, learn new skills, navigate uncertainty and begin again. That lived experience is an important part of what I bring to my work. I share what I've learned with honesty, warmth and a healthy sense of humour – not from a pedestal, but as someone who is still learning too.

At the heart of it all is a simple belief: our circumstances may shape the road we're travelling, but we can keep learning, choosing and moving forward.

“What I share isn't just theory. It's built on principles I've put into practice, lessons I've learned and experiences that have shaped me.”

01 / MINDSET

Inner work

Understanding how thoughts, beliefs and choices influence the way we respond and move forward.

02 / EXPERIENCE

Real life

Turning personal lessons, challenges and fresh starts into insight that can be useful to others.

03 / ACTION

Practical growth

Making ideas useful through clear steps, helpful tools and consistent action.

How I work

Encouragement with both feet on the ground.

I love inspiration, but I also love a practical next step. My aim is to help people see possibilities, make sense of what feels overwhelming and take action that fits their own goals and circumstances.

Mindset matters

Your perspective can influence what you notice, what you believe is possible and the actions you're willing to take.

Progress over perfection

You don't need a flawless plan. You need a direction, the willingness to learn and the courage to begin.

Keep it practical

Personal growth should support everyday life and business, not become another source of pressure.

Stay curious

There is always something new to learn, test, simplify or do better – and it's more enjoyable when we share what works.

Tools that make life easier

Work smarter, stay organised and make time for what matters.

I'm naturally curious about tools, systems and technology that can make running a business feel more manageable. I share resources I use myself – including digital and AI-powered tools when they genuinely help save time, stay organised, create content or simplify a task.

I'm not interested in adding complexity for the sake of it. I want to help others find practical ways to work smarter, build confidence with useful tools and free up more time for the parts of business and life that matter most.

A personal expression

A song that reflects my journey

Sometimes, the best way to express what you believe is through music. I wrote the lyrics to Keep Moving Forward as a reflection of my own journey and one of the lessons life keeps teaching me: we cannot always control what happens, but we can choose how we respond.

It's a reminder that progress doesn't require perfection. Sometimes, all it takes is one choice, one step and one day at a time. I hope it encourages you, wherever you are on your own journey.
