I 100% know what you mean about being self-sustaining & not having employees. That has always been my goal. No warehouse, no employees. Just me at my house. Plans have **slightly** changed since my husband is my employee now, but I still absolutely do not want to grow beyond that. Too much stress otherwise. I have started selling more expensive items (mainly apparel) which has boosted my sales, but expensive items = expensive investment. So it's hard to find the right balance.

Hi Emily! Appreciate you having the courage to know when you feel you need a break and appreciate your compassion. Admire your vlogs and optimism in challenging situations. Your creativity is beautiful 😍

I have seriously been inspired by your method of taking this social break last year. Over the last two years I have consumed myself with trying so hard to stay posting every single day and it is soooo tiring... And after an unexpected social break the last month I actually feel pretty good even though my break was not intentional I just had no motivation and I was suffering from burn out in a way. But I have learned taking a break from it actually gives you twice the drive and motivation when you come back!!!

I can’t wait to see what else is inside the planner, I’ve been searching for a 2025 planner but I shall wait to see what yours and Fi’s is like. Got to support small businesses 😍

Aww, I am so grateful for you!! Thank you for sharing so much of my work on your channel and helping me through the fear of running my first Kickstarter! I LOVE a chunky vlog as you know and I have enjoyed every bit of this one! I think once you have had time away and a nice vacation, you will know exactly what to do moving forward in your business. You always come back refreshed and full of inspiration! Can't wait!! We will miss seeing you everyday on Insta but enjoy your breaaaaaak! Xoxo!!

You may hope to be “lovely and tanned” when you get back, but since you are leaving for your holiday lovely already, the tanned part will be a breeze in the sun! Enjoy it! ☀

My goal is to have the courage to even start my shop and to balance my life with my work and little ones . I over think a lot, like are people going to like my products…..am I going to be wasting money on materials etc…..just need to do it and see what happens! 😂 Love your vlogs and artwork 😊

Ahhhh you got me with that title lol, i thought you were deleting it forever! Something i've debated doing. Anyway regarding your comment about one day having a comfortable life, GIRL me too... that is goals for me. It's so hard right now to see the light at the end when i'm working a 9-5 job full time, i'm also a mom, and i'm also trying to start my own small business. Comfortable life feels very far away. v_v But i know it will come!!! Wishing you the best
