As a former student of Elizabeth’s (Craft to Career and Quilt Pattern Writing Course), I feel so lucky to have been pulled into her orbit.

This is fantastic and so timely for me. Elizabeth really gives the brass tacks of running a successful craft based business while not shying away from the hard stuff. I’m loving the clarity and transparency in her approach. I look forward to being an ongoing listener.

Dear Elizabeth, I am only 5 minutes into episode 148 with Sarah Clark and needed to pull over to submit a review… She was able to articulate her WHY for pursuing her creative career so artfully, and every word resonated. I too have been ‘creative-adjacent’ in my career, longing to find something...Read full review »

I love this podcast always but episode 145 with Gloria Chou really inspired me to think about PR in a new and exciting way.

The reason I like this podcast is that the host is so honest and open. She is telling you what things are working for her in terms of her business and what it is not.
