A refreshingly honest conversation about following your gut instincts to build a brand you love with Miranda Deaton - founder of Velvet Outlaw and Velvet Out Paws.

Miranda’s journey is as unexpected as it gets: she went from working on capital murder cases to building a thriving slow fashion brand full of rhinestones, fringe, and unapologetic self-expression.

We dive into what burnout really looks like, the rollercoaster of building a brand that actually feels aligned, and what happens when you chase success… and end up somewhere you didn’t want to be.

This is a must-listen for any business owner who’s ever felt overwhelmed, creatively off-track, or unsure whether to keep pushing or pivot.

Miranda shares her own messy, magical middle and the mindset shifts that helped her realign with her purpose, get back to her creative roots, and rebuild a business that actually feels good.

• How Miranda went from the courtroom to custom fashion design
• The burnout that forced her to make a bold life change
• Why listening to your intuition matters more than revenue goals
• How she accidentally launched a successful pet accessory biz (and what happened next)
• The expensive (and relatable) lessons she learned through wholesale
• Why it’s okay to stop—even when something is going well
• How she’s redefining success in year three of business
