Episode 3052
Turning a creative passion into a business can feel deeply personal—and sometimes paralyzing. Today’s question comes from Candace in Boston, who transforms leftover fabric scraps into beautiful hair accessories but feels stuck when it comes to marketing her work. She’s worried about how people will perceive her products and whether they’ll see the value she knows they hold. Let’s explore strategies to overcome self-doubt and put your creations out into the world with confidence."I’ve got a flair for transforming leftover fabric scraps into unique hair accessories. Friends and family keep encouraging me to sell them, but I’m paralyzed by the thought that no one else will see them as special.

How can I push past this hesitation, put my work out there, and trust that it will resonate?"Listen to today's episode to learn more...
