In today’s episode, I’m joined by Mickey Hicks, founder of Mrs. Clever, a beautiful quarterly planner designed specifically for work-from-home moms and entrepreneurial women. Mickey shares how her own need for structure as a mom and creative led to the creation of the Daily Dashboard — a planner that blends business and life in one powerful tool.

We talk about:

How she transitioned from corporate branding to building her own planner company

Her experience funding her launch through Kickstarter

The role Print School played in turning her idea into a product

The surprising success she found in local in-person events

Encouragement for women balancing family and business dreams

If you’re dreaming of creating your own planner, workbook, or journal — or just want a tool that finally works with your rhythm — this conversation will inspire and equip you.
