Welcome to Week 4 of Tarot Tuesday. Over the past three weeks, the tarot cards have brought us on a journey, navigating through loss, grief, and heartbreak; finding hope and light; and embracing beauty.

Embracing our deeper calling, and allowing ourselves to heal, can be a powerful response to the hatred, division, and harm we see in the world around us.

This is...

This Two-Minute Motivation is a quiet invitation to slow down.

In a world that moves quickly and pulls our attention toward what’s wrong, this short episode offers a moment of presence — and a chance to reconnect with the beauty that's already here, waiting to be noticed.

In week 1 of Tarot Tuesday, we explored heartbreak, loss, and grief. In week 2, we continued this conversation, but with a shift toward light and hope.

Fascinatingly, week 3 is continuing to line up with this same convesation.

This Tarot Tuesday marks a turning point in the conversation.

After sitting with grief and heaviness, this episode explores what it looks like to intentionally move toward light, creativity, and confidence -- especially in the midst of a world that can feel overwhelming and painful.

It’s a reflection on choosing hope, surrounding ourselves with wh...

When the world feels dark, overwhelming, or full of fear, it’s easy to forget what we carry within us.

This short episode is a reminder of the strength, love, and compassion that already live inside you — and how those quiet forces matter more than we realize.

Last week's tarot card spoke to grief, lose and heartbreak; and this week's tarot card continues the conversation, but with a subtle shift.

In this episode, I reflect on what it means to allow space for hope, light, and the possibility of something new ahead.

This is a gentle invitation to hold both: the sorrow that deserves to be honored, and the quiet reminders that not all is gone, even when it feels that way.

For the first Tarot Tuesday, I drew a card that's all about heartbreak and emotional rupture.

In this episode, I reflect on how this energy is showing up personally and collectively, and what it means to live with an empathetic heart in a world that can feel deeply painful at times.

This is a gentle, grounded conversation about grief, compassion, and allowing ourselves to feel without needing to rush toward resolution.

Hello and welcome to The Heartful Canvas Podcast!

This episode is sort of a new start, sort of a reintroduction, and definitely a realignment.

I’m sharing why I’m changing the name and direction of this podcast (again), what’s been unfolding behind the scenes, and how this show fits into the bigger ecosystem of my work moving forward.

While the name may be new, the heart of this podcast remains the same: inspiring women to live full, vibrant lives filled with compassion, honesty, and love.

In this episode, you’ll hear...

Use my real 2025 Black Friday (from Snickerdoodle Knits, my knitting pattern design brand) results to optimize your own sale this week.

I've already wrapped up my Black Friday sale for this year, so now I want to help you out by sharing the exact results from my promotion!

In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on my entire Black Friday sale -- from the strategy and structure to the daily revenue breakdown -- and sharing the exact lessons I learned so you can make smart, aligned tweaks before your sale goes li...

Soooo this isn't the thing I'm most proud to share, but I just finally made my first paycheck from my business to myself. And I've been in business for over 7 years.

But I know I'm not alone, and I know a lot of business owners have a difficult time setting money aside to pay themselves.

So if that's you, this episode is for you.

We're talking all about money, and specifically in context of The Profit First Method, a method of managing your finances that was created by Mike Michalowicz.

If your to-do list keeps bumping into your energy limits…
If you’re working in scraps of time, wondering how anything actually gets done…
You’re not alone.

This month, Minnie turned one, which means I’ve officially been a mompreneur for a full year. And I’m honoring that milestone by sharing, openly and realistically, the ups and downs of this first chapter.

 In this week’s Studio Scribbles (available on YouTube or the podcast), I dive into the three biggest challenges I’ve faced as a new mama and creative (ADHD) entrepreneur—alon...

Full Circle Entrepreneurship Weekly "Email" Diary Series #1

When things don't go according to plan, we, as the CEOs of our businesses, get to choose which path to take. Do we keep pushing forward according to the original plan, do we make some changes, or do we scrap it all?

Past me (a few years ago) would typically push forward with the original plan as much as I possibly could. It's kind of what we've been taught by society: hustle and do all the things. (And honestly, I believe there is a time and place for...

Sometimes, things don’t go as planned—and that’s okay. This episode is a little more behind-the-scenes than normal, and it's a reminder that sometimes pausing to realign is the most productive thing you can do.

I had a different episode planned, but instead I'm doing a bit more behind-the-scenes work to create super valuable content that's strategic so it reaches the right people. So this is your permission slip to slow down when you need to, step back when necessary, and focus on making your efforts truly effective. If you’ve ever fel...

Marketing doesn’t have to feel overwhelming or scattered. Whether you’ve been putting in the effort but something just isn’t clicking -- maybe your audience isn’t growing, engagement feels flat, or sales aren’t coming in like you hoped -- or you’re just getting started on your marketing, this challenge is for you.

I’m hosting a free marketing challenge this week (March 7-9, 2025) called "Clarify Your Marketing Foundations." We’re diving into the three core parts of your marketing funnel to help you identify any gaps that might be holding you back, so you can creat...

In an online world dominated by the "need" for engagement, negative headlines soar above the positive and mundane happenings around us. I'm not familiar with the scientific reason, but I do know the human brain seems to be captivated by negativity and controversy. It creates a fascination, a reaction, and a response; so our news, media, social media, and conversations are often oversaturated with it.

However, statistics indicate the world isn't any more "bad" than it was in the past; we are just more aware of it. But just because we have access to the constant stream...

The podcast previously named "Pattern Design Circle Podcast" is now named "Vibrant Artist Podcast." In this episode I dive into why I've made the change, what you can expect on the podcast moving forward, and how this impacts you if you're a knit or crochet pattern designer.

I'm excited to dive deeper with you into living vibrantly as a creative entrepreneur.

We're already to the last episode of this series of podcasts inspired by video interviews from the Collin & Samir show. I hope you've found them thought-provoking, inspirational, and filled with value that you can use in your life and business.

This final episode is inspired by a discussion that was "just" between Collin and Samir - no guests. They were talking about Twitter becoming X and discussing what kind of content would and would not work well on that platform, and in this conversation, they brought up the concept of 'Forgettable versus Memorable Content,' an idea...

New and exciting changes for you are here!

In an effort to make my communities as accessible, generous, and helpful as I can, I've adjusted the Pattern Design Circle community membership, so it's now split into three communities:

I hope you absolutely loved the previous episode inspired by Jacob Collier's interview on the Collin & Samir Show, and that you're ready for part two!

While part one felt a bit like a motivational pep talk (or at least I hope it did - that was my intention!), in part two we're diving deeper into some of the realities of business ~ and Jacob's advice concerning fear and growth mindset.

As always, I hope you enjoy this chat and take away something valuable to implement in your life or business today.

Over the past couple of years, I've been fascinated to learn about the natural cycles of humans, including seasonalities, hormones, habits, and more. As we lean into these natural cycles, our businesses can feel more easeful, our time more productive, and our energy more optimized. If you're ready to lean into what's already instinctual in your body (rather than working against it), this episode is for you!

With Amazon's Big Deal Days just behind us and Black Friday sales just ahead of us, I have some thoughts. Did you notice how many other businesses followed Amazon's lead with Big Deal Days by hosting their own "big" sales at the same time?

In this podcast episode, we dive into all things discounts and sales: trends that I've been seeing, when discounts/sales work well (and when they don't), how to create a good discount/sale, and how to decide...
