About this listen

Feel like your handmade business is stuck in the same place month after month - no matter how hard you try? 😩

In this episode, we’re getting honest about why so many makers hit a plateau (even when they’re doing “all the right things”)… and what to do if that’s you right now.

You’ll learn:
🔸 The illusion of growth that keeps you treading water
🔸 The real cost of DIY-ing everything alone
🔸 Why your fear of investing might be costing you more than you think
🔸 How to know when you’re ready to get real support

Plus, I’ll walk you through the difference between two real-life paths: Sam (the hustler stuck at £200/month) and Lydia (the maker who hit her first £1k month doing less).

✨ If you’re done winging it and ready for real growth — this one’s for you.
