How do you keep moving forward when months of planning are disrupted by something completely outside your control?

In this episode of By Their Fruits, I sit down with Tess Frame, LDS creator, entrepreneur, mom of three boys, and co-owner of Happy Sacrament, a Latter-day Saint business serving members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

We talk about product-based businesses, self-publishing, and building a personal brand online while also dealing with antagonists of the church.

Tess shares how she navigated a major inventory delay, supported the publication of her grandfather's book after his death, and found healing after a traumatic birth experience that led to PTSD, anxiety, and hormonal challenges.

If you're an LDS business owner, Mormon entrepreneur, creator, or woman of faith trying to build a business while following Jesus Christ, this conversation is for you.

Welcome to the first episode of By Their Fruits.

A few months ago, I made a decision I never thought I'd make.

I retired the business model I'd spent years building.

After selling Poppyseed Play, creating online courses, and running my copywriting mentorship, The Greenhouse, I thought I knew what the next chapter of my career would look like. Then last fall, something shifted. The strategies that had worked for years suddenly stopped working the same way, and I found myself questioning everything.

In this episode, I share what happened, why I walked away from a business that was still working on paper, and how that decision led me to create a podcast for LDS business owners.

I share what this season taught me, why I believe God often works through unexpected pivots, and why some of our biggest blessings begin as what I call a holy plot twist.
