EP 41: A Platform for me to Express, Explore, Connect
A platform for me to express, explore, connect and over all be Sew Flipping Extra... why because that brings me joy.
What if embracing your true self could change lives? That's what we explore in this episode of the Sew Flipping Extra podcast. We kick things off with a heartwarming message from a new client that moved me deeply, reminding us all of the transformative power of authenticity. Join me as I highlight the joy and fulfillment that comes from genuine connections and share some recent business triumphs, including securing multiple bookings and the pride my friend Nye felt when I streamlined my booking process. It's a testament to how growth and positivity can be incredibly contagious.
This episode also takes a reflective turn as we confront the emotional and professional hurdles that marked the beginning of the year. Inspired by the story "Who Moved My Cheese?", (https://youtu.be/jOUeHPS8A8g?si=-c37zafSWcd6o88M) we discuss the necessity of adapting and seeking new opportunities when the old ways just don't work anymore. I open up about moments of doubt and financial uncertainty, emphasising the importance of resilience and stepping out of comfort zones to achieve our goals. It's an emotional rollercoaster that underscores the relentless pursuit of success despite setbacks.
As we gear up for a brief hiatus, we celebrate the power of positive vibes and heartfelt connections. Reflecting on the love and strong bonds within our community, we share light-hearted farewells and the reassurance that our collective positive energy will continue to thrive. From personal struggles to supportive friendships, and even a mishap involving a Lime bike adventure, the message remains clear: the good vibes we create together are ever-present. Join me in cherishing the uplifting atmosphere we’ve built and stay tuned for our reunion in a few weeks, ensuring that the flow of good vibes never stops.
