A conversation with Colleen Rose Florals - a New York–based florist in her first year of going full-time—someone who built her business largely through social media and turned it into a real career faster than most people expect.We talk about what that actually looked like behind the scenes—from figuring out pricing and navigating burnout, to the pressure of turning something creative into a job.This is a really honest look at the early stages of building a floral business, and all the uncertainty, growth, and self-doubt that can come with it.

A great entrepreneurial convo with Jess Quick! The founder of Storylines Floral Co — a floral design business that spans both California and Montana.

Jess has been in the floral industry for over eight years and has built a business that not only thrives creatively, but has also evolved through major life changes — including relocating states and managing her business in two states - something that rarely happens successfully for small businesses.

In this conversation, we dive into the less-talked-about side of running a creative business — the plateaus, the seasonality, the identity shifts that come after the hustle years, and the courage it takes to build a life that supports both your work and your well-being.

Jess shares what it really looks like to grow a business in two places at once, how moving to Montana reshaped her creativity and nervous system, and why she’s embracing a slower, more intentional version of success — even if it means taking on unexpected roles along the way.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, questioned your next chapter, or wondered if you’re the only one figuring it out as you go — this episode is going to feel like a deep exhale.

Puni Petals is a small business with a big following and shares all her thoughts on the digital space and the creative field. In a society where we glorify popularity and monetary success, Puni helps us get grounded on the fleeting things through life and how to remember that you are at the center of your business.

Thanks to Puni's vulnerability, we can all be honest with ourselves which ultimately leads to the real kind of success that can last a lifetime.
