💬 In This Episode

If the new year feels like a fresh start, I want you to hear this first… you don’t have to have everything figured out yet.

In this episode, I’m sharing a grounded “back to basics” reset for creative business owners. Whether you’re starting for the first time, or you’ve been building for a while and you want a fresh, steady start, this is about creating a clean foundation that feels supportive… not overwhelming.

I’m also sharing real reflections from Pretty Pineapple Bead. How survival mode impacted my creativity. How inventory and pressure buried my “why.” And how reconnecting with simplicity helped me show up in a way that’s actually sustainable.
