"What a privilege to be tired from work you once begged the universe for."

When I first heard those words, I burst into tears. If you are a crochet business owner, a mom of little ones, or a creative entrepreneur juggling a full-time career on top of your dreams, I know you feel this in your bones.

In this episode, I’m getting vulnerable about the "Founder’s Prayer" (referenced by Miles Adcox) and how it perfectly describes the "beautiful chaos" of my life right now. We often talk about business growth and scaling a handmade brand, but we don’t always talk about the tension of living inside an answered prayer, even when that prayer includes laundry piles, toddler arguments over spoon colors, and a never-ending to-do list.

In this episode, we explore:

• Why exhaustion is often proof of a life built on purpose.

• Reframing overwhelm as a sign of the growth you once dreamed about.

• The reality of "outgrowing" the versions of ourselves that used to settle for less.

• Finding a quiet sense of gratitude in the middle of solo parenting and business deadlines.

Whether you’re currently packing orders, designing your next amigurumi pattern, or just trying to survive the bedtime rush, I hope this episode reminds you that it’s okay to be tired. The weight you’re carrying is the weight of a life you once prayed for.
