  • Inspiring podcast!

    I’ve loved listening to several of Elizabeth’s episodes this week! Starting a creative business has always been in the back of my mind, but I’m often stopped by self-doubt and thinking there isn’t room for me in this market. After listening to many episodes, I truly am motivated and am beginning to make a small list of goals and next steps. I already have a lot in place, I just need to jump! If only I could clone myself so I could fulfill my desire for this and my other responsibilities. Thanks... more

  • So helpful!

    My daughter is a “beginner” entrepreneur, so I told her to listen to Elizabeth’s podcast. She found it very helpful and encouraging! Love her guests, too! People I’ve been following and admiring, so it’s such a treat to hear their stories about their business journeys. Thanks so much for this podcast. :)

  • It Deserves more than 5 stars!

    The Craft to Career podcast has been a game-changer for me. Listening to each episode feels like sitting down with a mentor who truly understands both the creative and business sides of being a maker. The honest conversations, actionable tips, and real-life success stories lit a fire in me to take my quilting from hobby to business. I highly recommend this podcast to anyone who is even just thinking about starting their own crafting business.
