  • 258. Are They Copying You? Your Guide to Handling Retail Competition Part 1: Why Product Overlap Happens in Retail — and What It Could Mean for Your Store
    Sep 25 2025

    This is Part 1 of a special 2-part series on one of the most common and heated topics in indie retail: competition and product overlap.

    If you’ve ever walked into another store and seen your best-selling product on their shelves, you know the mix of frustration and fear it can trigger.

    In this episode, I break down why product overlap happens in retail, why it feels so personal, and what it really means for your business. We’ll look at the emotions behind these moments, the realities of supply and demand, and why processing your reaction first is key to making better long-term decisions.

  • 257. Why I’m Finally Exploring ADHD (And What it Looks Like to Run a Business When Your Brain Works Differently)
    Sep 11 2025

    In this episode, I’m opening up about something personal—and still unfolding. For years, I’ve suspected I might have ADHD. I usually wait until I’ve got everything figured out before I share, but this time I’m bringing you with me in real-time.

    If you’ve ever wondered whether your brain works a little differently—if you’ve struggled with focus, follow-through, forgetfulness, or feeling scattered—this episode might hit home.

    I’ll explain why I’m finally getting tested, what common ADHD symptoms look like (especially in women), and why so many of us feel dismissed when we try to talk about it. I’m not a doctor—but after 51 years and a lot of patterns I can’t ignore, I’m ready to get answers. Let’s talk about it.
