Coffee Monday

In this new episode of Coffee Monday, Andrea Van Groningen shares how home staging became the foundation for everything she does. What started as an unexpected project grew into a thriving staging company known for transforming houses into warm, welcoming homes that truly connect with buyers. That same eye for detail led her to launch The Shoppe at The Avenue - a retail space born from clients wanting to purchase the curated pieces she used in her stagings. She has also since started a YouTube channel that offers a behind-the-scenes look at her creative process.

Happily married with six kids, a dedicated team she calls her backbone, and a heart for intentional living, Andrea talks candidly about staying inspired, and weaving family and creativity into her business. Her story is a reminder that when you stay true to your passions and strengths, new opportunities have a way of finding you 🏡

On this episode of Coffee Monday, Rae sits down with Nicala and Tory, the creative duo behind Little Dreamers. What started with a coffee playdate and a spark of an idea has grown into a beloved pajama brand that moms (and now adults!) can’t get enough of.

The two share how their business went from small shop hustle to overnight success - thanks in part to Nicala’s brother, Josh Allen, giving their line a viral boost on social media. They open up about what that moment was like, how it’s shaped their journey, and the lessons they’ve learned along the way.

This week on Coffee Monday, we’re getting our hands a little messy—in the best way—with the inspiring trio behind Good Dirt Pottery Studio and Good Dirt Collective. Co-founders Jorden Collins, Christy Manning, and Kasey Jackson join Rae to talk about the heart, hustle, and healing behind their community-driven creative space.

From mission trips in Kenya to motherhood and ministry, each woman brings her own story and strength to the studio. Together, they’ve built more than just a pottery business—they’ve created a safe, joyful space where women, teens, and families can slow down, tap into their creativity, and reconnect with purpose.

We talk about what it means to work in a way that fills your cup (literally and figuratively), how they support one another as co-founders and friends, and the beautiful, sometimes messy process of building something with meaning. Plus, we dive into how the community can get involved, whether it’s by taking a class, hosting an event, or simply cheering them on.

Come for the clay, stay for the conversation. This one’s full of heart, purpose, and a little dirt under the nails.
