Full offense, but I built my creative business fro

Full offense, but I built my creative business from the ground up — through craft fairs, workshops, launches, and late nights.

That’s why The Club isn’t about quick fixes or “six-figure secrets.” It’s about steady progress, creative growth, and support from people who actually get what it’s like to build something real.

Inside The Club you’ll get:
✨ 100+ on-demand workshops & mentorship replays
✨ 4 live monthly Zoom sessions (business class, mentorship, crafty hour, co-working)
✨ Goal-planning tools & accountability
✨ A supportive creative community that actually gets you

💬 Comment CLUB to take a tour or MENTOR to get on the waitlist so you’re first in line when doors open tomorrow.

Ventura isn’t just the home of @craftcationconfe

Ventura isn’t just the home of @craftcationconference 🌊✨ — it’s also home to one of my all-time favorite fabric + craft shops: @superbuzzy.

Kelly, the owner, was an early supporter of Craftcation and has built a magical spot full of thoughtfully curated fabrics, tools, and supplies. Every time I walk in, I leave inspired (and usually with a bag full of goodies).

If you’re coming to Craftcation, add Superbuzzy to your must-visit list—you’ll be amazed.

My list is growing fast, but I’m always up for an adventure. What hidden gem should I put on my map next? Tag your favorite fabric store so I can add it to my route!

🚩 You keep saying “someday.”

Your ideas live in notebooks, not in the world. You tell yourself you’ll take action when you’re more ready, organized, or confident. Spoiler: “someday” never shows up on its own.

🚩 You feel guilty for not doing enough.

No matter how hard you work, you feel behind. That guilt? It’s not proof you’re lazy—it’s a sign your systems don’t fit the way you work.

🚩 You’re tired of doing it alone.

You’ve pieced together advice from Google, free webinars, and late-night scrolling… but you still feel stuck. Isolation isn’t a strategy.

🚩 You get excited about what’s possible… then freeze.

You can picture a bigger, better version of your creative business—but without tools and community, that vision stays just that: a vision.

🚩 You’re scared… and also hopeful.

That mix of nerves and excitement is the clearest red flag of all. It means you’re on the edge of growth—you just need support to cross it.

Here’s the fix ⬇️

Inside The Club: our community for creative business owners, you’ll get the mentorship, skills, accountability, and community to turn those red flags into turning points:

✨ 100+ on-demand workshops & mentorship replays

✨ 4 live monthly Zoom sessions (business class, mentorship, crafty hour, co-working)

✨ Goal-planning tools & accountability groups

✨ A supportive creative community that gets it

🚨 Last call! 🚨
Today’s your final chance to join The Club before doors close at midnight (9.15.25). After today, enrollment won’t open again until 2026.

Inside The Club, you’ll get:
✨ Mentorship from someone who’s been in your shoes

✨ Expert-led workshops & resources you can actually use

If you’ve been thinking, “I’ll do it later,” this is it—there is no later.

Comment CLUB and I’ll send you a link to tour and join.

You don’t have to do this creative business thing alone. 🧡

Sound familiar? 🙃 BTW: Enrollment for The Club

Sound familiar? 🙃 BTW: Enrollment for The Club is only OPEN for two more days! Doors close Sept 15.

If you’ve ever gone to bed with big creative plans only to wake up paralyzed by overwhelm, you’re not broken. You’re human. And creative brains? They’re especially good at piling on 47 projects, a sprinkle of social anxiety, and a generous dash of perfectionism.

That’s why I created The Club—a place for creative business owners who want support, accountability, and real talk (not hustle culture). Inside, we tackle the overwhelm together—with mentorship, expert workshops, co-working, and a community that gets it.

✨ Enrollment is OPEN through September 15. Don’t wait—once doors close, they won’t open again until the next launch.

Before I get to the red flags… let me say this:

Before I get to the red flags… let me say this: you don’t have to do this alone anymore. 🚨 Enrollment for The Club is officially OPEN until 9.15 (then close for the year).

Now, let’s talk about the 🚩 red flags holding your business back (and how to fix them).

🚩 You’re tired of doing it alone.
