In this uplifting episode, I’m chatting with the lovely Jen from Indy Bee Crafts, one of our Handmade Business Success Academy (HBSA) students, about her real and raw journey from craft hobbyist to small business owner.
Jen opens up about:
💙 How she found the confidence to start selling
💙 What helped her go from “I can’t do this” to “this is actually working!”
💙 The juggle of life, work, and creativity
💙 Her favourite HBSA lesson (and how it changed everything)
💙 Why she’s now excited for the future of her handmade biz
If you’ve ever doubted whether your tiny seed of an idea could grow into something more… this episode will light a little fire in you. Jen’s story is proof that you don’t need to have it all figured out – you just need to start.
Pour a cuppa, plug in your headphones, and get ready for some heart-led handmade business inspo 💛
