It's a New Year and a New You, Right. You got plans to start a new business or add something new to your current business but where do you start and how you do get over the fear. In this episode, I share how I started a new shop despite never doing anything like it before. These 5 steps are the same ones that I use to help my clients work through fear and create the things that they have been afraid to launch.

...27 min - Skin in The Game, Growing A Skincare Line
In this episode of She's Crafted To Thrive our Guest is Renee Bartosh, Owner of Pure and Coco. She started her own skincare line because she and her family have a history of suffering from eczema. I asked her to be on the show because I love her products and she is really good at creating new products for her skincare line.
If you have a business that was created out of need, I wanna hear from you in the show notes comments sections.
In business, we tend to stick to what we know or what we're comfortable with. But what I admire about Renee is that she's not afraid to try something different. She shares how she researches, test and make her ever-growing skincare line. Renee's been in business for several years and has been able to grow her skincare line and customer base. She's been in many Whole Foods and local boutiques all while taking advantage of each opportunity. Renee explains why the value of research, feedback, and networking. Yes, this woman is doing it but not without a little fear at her feet. She shares what her fears are and how she’s flourishing through it.

About Business With Chronic Illness: Women Entrepreneurs Navigating Burnout & Autoimmune Conditions
From the publisher's feed
Building a business as a woman entrepreneur with chronic illness comes with realities that most business advice never addresses — burnout, unpredictable energy, and the need to put health first while still wanting meaningful growth.
Business With Chronic Illness is a globally ranked podcast featuring honest conversations with chronic illness entrepreneurs, founders, and CEOs navigating business growth while living with chronic illness and autoimmune conditions. Through real stories and practical insight, the show explores how people build businesses that are sustainable, simple, and aligned with their health, not at the expense of it.
Each episode covers:
-Health-First Business Growth: growing at a pace that honors your body
-Burnout & Capacity: navigating energy, flare-ups, and rest without guilt
-Simple & Sustainable Business: stripping away unnecessary complexity and building around real capacity
-Podcasting & Long-Form Marketing: using podcasting, long-form content, and relationship-driven marketing to build trust, visibility, leads, and audience growth
-Success Stories: real people redefining what success looks like with chronic illness
This podcast is for entrepreneurs and founders who are:
-Living with chronic illness or autoimmune disease
-Burned out from hustle culture or one-size-fits-all business advice
-Building, growing, or reimagining a business that must work with real life
-Looking for sustainable marketing and business strategies that do not require being constantly online
Expect thoughtful, grounded conversations, not hype. This is a space for nuance, practical strategy, and real stories.
