No buzzkills allowed! Let's chat about why you should be excited about each new step to success...and why it's okay to dream of throat punching the ones who aren't happy for you. 

Disclaimer: Do not thorat punch anybody. This is one dream I don't support you manifesting.

I don't know about you but I never paid much attention to the "Reuse" portion of the Reduce, Recycle, Reuse triangle...but Jenelle Montilone has been! To the tune of over 52 tons of waste that Jenelle has kept out of our landfills!! Be it adorable appliques on kids clothing or recycling your old t shirts to make a knit fabric line, Jenelle is all over it.

We have all heard the phrase and we all know how it feels to recieve an opinion when we didn't ask for one so.....why do we do we do it?

Yup. It's Wednesday. And yes....I have more badassery to blow your mind. I chat with Lisa Mullins; Lisa is a person I love and admire and get the privilege to work for everyday (yup. Work for!). Lisa never wanted to own a quilt store.....and now she owns and operates the biggest fabric store in the area at 8,500 sq ft, complete with BERNINA sewing machines. So how does one go from living in Ohio, not interested in quilting AT ALL to owning an award winning quilt Mecca in sunny Orlando, Florida? Well I'm not gonna tell you that!

You'll just have to listen, won't you?

UGH! Mondays right? Wellllll, maybe not so much. In this podcast we talk about how Monday hating is as dead as Harambe....and Harambe jokes....like this one.

We're baaaaaaaaack! Today we are chatting with Melody Miller. Melody is a well known fabric designer and the founder of Cotton+Steel, one of the most popular fabric companies. Melody has always jumped in with both feet and made her way in this world come hell or high water. I loved hearing about how Melody was always evolving and creating a new path for herself and I know you will too.

This week I try to cover one of the hardest topics: the Pulse shooting. You can draw good out of tragedy if you are willing to give kindess and fight for love. I make a small pledge, how about you?

For our first Mindful Monday we talk about diving into something new and why you should finally attempt that pinterest recipe you've been eyeing for 8 months.
