Do you struggle with keeping up an art practice? Do the 100 day challenges you see on social media overwhelm you? You are not alone!

Hiya Rebels!! We have a throwback episode today with Megan Auman. We chatted all things Pinterest with Megan and this episode is full of information and gems.

Be sure to take notes!   About Megan Megan Auman is a designer and metalsmith who has bridged that gap successfully in her business. Not only has she grown her following on Pinterest and Instagram, but she’s successfully leveraged both visual platforms to sell her jewelry.

Today is a shop talk with the lovely Annya White-Brown from NaturalAnnie Essentials. We fell in love with her island vibe on Instagram and had to have her on the show. Annie creates amazing skin care and home products from her home. She tells us about her journey as a biz owner, how shows and wholesale have helped her grow her business and why connecting with others is so important. We know you will love this conversation as much as we did!   About Annya: Born and raised on the beautiful island of Jamaica, Annya (Annie) is no stranger to the nourishing, healing power of oils and herbs. She has always been a creative soul, with an eye for all things bright 'n' bold (can you tell by her packaging?). She also loves plants and a huge glass of wine (Merlot please!). Annie’s first daughter Tiffany was born with Spina Bifida and Hydrocephalus, and Annie turned to natural remedies to help Tiffany’s skin, as prescribed medication did not work. After trying a variety of natural butters, essential oils, and other natural oils, we finally found the remedy to her daughter’s skin issues. Essential oils and herbs are some of the most ancient and powerful remedies available, so Annie started to think about how they could be utilized in skin and hair care. Annie’s passion and knowledge grew, and in 2014 she decided to channel them into developing her unique brand. And NaturalAnnie Essentials burst into life! Today, NaturalAnnie Essentials is your island-inspired, one-stop shop for uniquely scented, handmade soy candles and bath & body products. Woman-owned and based in Bridgeport, Connecticut, we aim to make you look, smell, and feel good!   Connect with Annya: Website | Instagram | Facebook | Pinterest Want to dive deeper?

Taking a product from idea to the shelves can be daunting especially if it has to be manufactured. We wanted to talk to someone who has been in the trenches so on today's episode we are chatting with Nicole Ketchum of Hey Girl Decor. Nicole tells us all about how her chandeliers came to be and the process it took to get them manufactured overseas.   About Nicole Hi I'm Nicole, Founder and Designer of Hey Girl Decor, formally Chandelier By NK. Hey Girl Decor is a modern acrylic decor company — founded in 2014. It started as an idea to create an easy, chic chandelier without lights. The idea of making a chandelier and then flipping it on it’s head and redefining it was so much fun!   Our mission statement is simple: We take designing seriously — but don’t think decor should be serious.   We are currently scaling our brand, with the goal of retailers for licensing opportunities, and rolling out a new name and logo next week.   Connect with Nicole Website | Instagram | Pinterest Links Episode 56 - Simplifying Manufacturing and Business with Emily Ley Episode 99 - Shop Talk with Meg Sutton of Belle & Union   Become a supporter of the podcast today!

Email marketing. You know you should do it but just are not sure what emails are best to send to customers.
