In this episode of The Dallas Duo, Andrea and Whitney sit down with Steph Weibring, founder of Joy Creative Shop — a Dallas-based paper goods brand that’s reimagining how we connect through intentional, joyful design. Steph shares the heartfelt story of how a creative hobby turned into a thriving business that serves busy women and moms with tools that simplify gifting and spark connection.

We talk about entrepreneurship, the balance (or lack thereof) of work and motherhood, and how meaningful paper goods can support wellness and gratitude in a digital world. From brain dump notepads to the cult-favorite Car Kit, Steph’s mission is clear: to help women show up with style, ease, and purpose.

You’ll also hear:

• How Steph’s creative upbringing inspired Joy Creative Shop

• What keeps Steph inspired to create paper products for busy women

• Why paper still matters for mental health and relationships

• Tips for staying grounded while running a business and raising a family

Whether you’re a creative entrepreneur, a fellow stationery lover, or just looking for inspiration to slow down and add more joy to your daily life — this episode is for you.
