Today I’m having the ultimate introvert day—because yes, I’m a hardcore introvert who can absolutely be social… but only in small doses, and then I need recovery time. After markets, hosting, and holiday busyness, this week is my recharge week. I take you with me on a very solo-date kind of day (my favorite): coffee, errands, a new-to-me little downtown, and a cozy reset that still supports my business goals instead of fighting my personality. I also talk honestly about how being introverted can hold me back as a business owner—because sometimes I just want to work alone and not have anyone else in the equation. But going into 2026, I’m hiring more help, planning more content (even if my “introvert life” feels boring sometimes), and setting up systems so my business can grow without me burning out. I share what I wish I did differently when I started my business, why I’d use Tailor Brands to avoid the legal setup headache, and how I’m prepping inventory and my studio so someone can come help me make candles. We wrap up with some cozy reflections: book haul damage, a mini “no spend January” plan, my shock at needlepoint prices, and my 2026 mindset—balanced, comfy, and still ambitious.
