How can a handmade product stand out in a crowded market and actually start generating real, consistent income?

In this episode, I sit down with Tiffany of Crooked F Farm, a pregnancy-safe, tallow-based skincare brand. Tiffany launched her business in February 2025, and through branding, organic social media, email marketing, and clear niche positioning, she hit consistent four-figure months without markets and without ads

In our conversation, Tiffany shares:
- How she set her skincare brand apart in a crowded market
- Why she decided to focus on pregnancy-friendly and postpartum-safe products
- The exact product launches that pushed her into her first four-figure month
- Branding and label mistakes she corrected inside PBA
- How she uses organic content and aligned micro-influencers to grow her reach
- Email strategies that generate $100–$200 per send
- Her approach to inventory, pricing, and simplifying SKUs
- The mindset shift that gave her the confidence to raise prices and still scale
- What finally led her to leave a six-figure corporate job to fully commit to her business

If you’re new to business and wondering how to grow organically, Tiffany’s story is packed with actionable insights and inspiration.

Tiffany is the founder of Crooked F Farm Soaps and Salves, a small-batch tallow skincare brand inspired by the rhythms of farm and family life in East Tennessee. She creates nutrient-rich products that support women in every cycle of life — from motherhood to midlife and beyond — by returning to time-honored, natural ingredients with a focus on pregnancy and breastfeeding safe products. Her mission is to prove that the simplest, most traditional solutions are often the most effective for modern skin.

She talks openly about how chronic illness reshaped her life, how she left her career as a pediatric dietitian due to health issues, how creativity supported her healing, and how she ended up gaining the clarity and confidence to start landing custom orders, increasing her social media sales, and getting her jewelry into local retail shops, all within her first year.

What if the moment you finally decide to bet on yourself becomes the exact moment everything starts to shift?

In this week’s episode, I sit down with Chelsea, the owner of Familys Creations, the handmade wood-art brand known for its stunning multi-layer illuminated animal pieces and custom wooden U.S. travel maps that families treasure for generations.

Chelsea shares how she moved past imposter syndrome, elevated her branding, strengthened her storytelling, and stepped into the version of herself who applies for the dream opportunities instead of talking herself out of them. And those big leaps? They paid off. Today she’s hitting $4K+ months with one of her retail partners, and she even sold a $1,400 custom Highland cow piece that shipped all the way to South Carolina… something she once thought was “too big” for her.

If you’re in that space of wondering whether you’re ready to grow, evolve, or go after what you really want… this conversation will remind you that readiness isn’t a feeling, it’s a choice.

By the end of this episode, you’ll learn:

• How Chelsea transformed a creative hobby into a profitable handmade business
• The mindset shifts required for big opportunities (and why perfection is never the point)
• What it actually takes to land your dream retail location
• The magic that happens when you stop saying yes to everything and start leading your business with intention

At Family’s Creations, Chelsea truly embodies their motto - Art That Tells a Story. She designs and hand-finishes layered wood art, lighted pieces, and home décor that often incorporate reclaimed wood. She blends modern elements, like a CO₂ laser for cutting, along with timeless, storytelling tools passed down from her husband’s great-grandfather. Every piece is crafted with family, storytelling, memories, and the feeling of home in mind.
