My New Business Plan for 2020

In this episode of the podcast, I'm flying solo to talk about my business plan and how it's changed in 2020. I share why content matters, why Pinterest might just be a better fit for your business than Instagram, and the questions I'm asking myself to guide my business growth as I head toward the new year.

Change is hard...

Change is hard...

In this episode of #snailmailsuperstarpodcast I'm talking about all the changes going on at Constellation & Co. and in my home–namely, the moving of 3,000 lbs. of printing presses into my garage and the permanent closure of my brick & mortar shop. I also share how grief colors this season of change and give an update about how our shop bird, Atticus Finch, is doing.
