Indie retail besties, let's be real...our businesses are not going to thrive (or even survive, frankly) if we burn ourselves out. So ask yourself 'can I sustain this pace indefinitely?' 

Tune in for my take on what sustainability means for small businesses, how we can work more like nature, and why working on your shop (versus in the shop) will help you find your focus.

Hey retail besties 👋  To kick off the New Year, I’m sharing one of my favorite intuitive practices for indie retailers — the Feel Good Retail soul statement meditation.

I use this meditation to help business owners come back to the motivation they had when they started their business, so they can make empowered, visionary decisions for the future

So get cozy, grab your journal, and let’s drop in.

This week’s episode is for everyone who’s bracing themselves for the dreaded holiday gathering question — "how's that little business of yours going?" ... or worse “when are you gonna get a real job?”

So triggering, isn’t it?! Because you know that running your business is hard work. I know that running your business is hard work. But too many people just don’t get it.

So tune in for a pep talk feat. a few small biz stats just for you, bestie.
Because your shop is essential. And your shop’s growth is essential. It’s essential for our lives, our communities, our economies, and our world.

Thanks for being in business & happy holidays my loves.

Two months ago, I returned to the pod to share that I’d been thinking about quitting my business.

And I told you about the 25 things I’m quitting instead of quitting my business. Checking email in bed. Skipping lunch. Creating for the algorithm. I was kicking them to the curb! But did I…?

In today’s episode, I’m back with an update on how all my quitting is going. Tune in to hear what’s working, what isn’t, and how I’m approaching next year with all this in mind.

The year is starting to come to a close, and here at Feel Good Retail that means the reflection has started! So this week I’m sharing the three biggest lessons I’ve learned in 2022 including—

• Follow the feedback!
• Comparison is the death of creativity

This time of year the pressure starts to build. So instead of offering another thing to think/do/implement, this week I’m checking in to help us recenter.

Tune in so we can:

• Take a deep breath together
• Remember to stop comparing ourselves to other retailers/business owners/influencers/high school frenemies online
• Release urgency & focus on what’s really important to us

If living (and dying 💀) by your to-do list doesn’t feel good anymore, this episode is for you. Because everything can’t continue to be a fire drill. And it doesn’t have to be.

In the world of retail, we’re taught that running a sale is always a good idea - because more transactions = more money = good. But is that really true? And do we have to run promotions at the holidays or any other time?

Here’s what I think: promotions are a tool, not a necessity.

Tune in to this episode for:

• A permission slip to have a sale-free holiday season
• Advice on how to make sure your promotional strategy serves you
• My take on why you need to know your margins before you have a sale

And hey, at the end of the day we want what’s best for you & your business. Whether that means #BlackFridayForever or #NoSaleNovember, you get to choose.

It’s been a long year, besties. And I don’t know about you, but I’m exhausted…just in time for the busiest season in retail.

So if your inner monologue feels like any (or all) of these emojis 😬😵‍💫💩😴, tune in for the seasonal support you’ll need to:

• Grant yourself permission to push things to 2023
• Surrender to this time of year
• Put your business on cruise control

You’ve got this. We’ve got this. Happy Holidays!
