Motivating while relaxing!

I’ve been listening for over a year and can’t believe I’m just leaving a review! I love listening to Jess while I’m working. She gives amazing advice for Etsy sellers and I love that it’s different from the hustle culture advice most selling podcasts push. She’s shown me that I can have a thriving online business while living life and doing things I love.

Fantastic

This is the best Etsy podcast I have listened too. The guests are wonderful and inspiring and it is a wealth of knowledge and suggestions. Thank you ~PW

Real Advice in Bite Size Pieces

This is the creative business podcast I've been looking for! Jess does what other "business" podcasts don't, she talks in a voice that creatives can relate to with info that fits our world. It's also refreshing to listen to someone who doesn't base success on using social media!
