“We’re not cleaning the floor—we’re just putting on slippers and showing up anyway. And that’s enough.” — Brandi Hofer

Join us for a raw, hilarious, and deeply relatable conversation with Canadian collage artist and designer Jessa Dupuis—back for her second appearance on Colour Me Happy! We laughed so much our cheeks hurt, but we also went deep on what it really means to balance motherhood, creativity, and business.

From showing up in slippers because the floor’s covered in kid crumbs, to making bold moves like turning down work and setting new boundaries, this episode is all about embracing imperfection, knowing your worth, and fiercely protecting your energy.

We dive into:

Career burnout and what it taught us
Saying no (finally!)
Downsizing work to make space for what matters
Creative fulfillment vs. energy drains
The emotional magic of feeling genuinely valued

This one’s for anyone juggling too much, craving permission to slow down, or just needing a laugh with friends who get it. You’re not alone—and you don’t have to “have it all together” to make powerful, inspiring moves.

Tips From the Episode

Set limits before burnout sets them for you.
Don’t confuse busy with valuable—choose alignment over hustle.
“No” is a complete sentence—and a powerful one.
You’re allowed to be messy and magical at the same time.
Choose work that fuels your creativity, not drains it
