Does your business ever feel like a drag? Today, I'm sharing the replay of an interview I did on my friend Jessica's podcast Patter Design Circle!

Jessica is a super awesome knitting pattern designer and biz coach, and we always have wonderful conversations! Here's the description of this episode from her show:

"As you're working to grow your pattern design business, it can be easy to get stuck in the weeds: trying to learn, improve, and expand.

It's easy to get caught up with all of the things you're told you "should" be doing or "have" to be doing, and you lose sight of exactly why you're doing this.Why are you running a crochet or knitting pattern design business? Is it to work non-stop and stress yourself out? I'm guessing probably not.

So how do we create more room for enjoyment in our work?

In this episode of the Pattern Design Circle Podcast, I chat with Kinsey of Feel Good Social about different ways - and perspectives - for having fun in your business. It might not be what you expect!"

 I know you're going to love this convo - and many thanks to Jessica for letting me reshare it! Give Jessica a follow on Instagram @patterndesigncircle!
