A proposito di questo titolo
In this episode, Gwen Bortner talks with paper artist Abigail McMurray of YEIOU Paper Objects about what it really looks like to achieve sustainable success in running a business without burning out. Abigail shares how she went from making flat-pack craft kits to designing intricate 3D house portraits, map art, and collage-based pieces that honor the idea of “home” – and why she’s intentionally kept her business small and deeply personal.
You’ll hear how Abigail:
- Recovered from the burnout of years spent making labor-intensive commissions
- Identified what she didn’t want her business to become – and used that to find clarity
- Protects her creative well through play, community classes, and intentional scheduling
- Uses the Weekly Course of Action to build structure without sacrificing freedom
- Navigates selling across multiple channels, from local markets to custom commissions
This is an honest look at crafting a business that supports your creativity rather than consuming it. If you’re a maker or artist trying to balance demand, creative energy, and real-life context, this conversation offers grounded insight into sustainable success.
