In this very first episode of Petite Programming: The Pod, I’m sharing my journey from primary school teacher to web designer and business owner. After years of pouring my energy into the classroom, I found myself completely burnt out—giving the best of myself to my students and having nothing left for my own kids. I knew something had to change.

I took a leap, went back to university, and earned a second degree in programming and software development. But when I stepped into the web design industry, I saw small business owners being fed jargon, hidden fees, and complicated processes they didn’t need. That’s why I built Petite Programming—to make web design simple, honest, and effective for small businesses.

Tune in to hear how I made the transition, why I started my business, and what you can expect from this podcast.
