Episode 097: Turning a Personal Creative Practice Into a Sustainable Online Business, with Artist & Educator: Grace
Tue Feb 03 2026
In this episode of the Business Bravery Podcast, I'm chatting with Grace, artist, creative educator, and founder of The Serendipitous Crafter.
We talk about how she turned junk journaling into a small but growing creative business. All while working full time, supporting family, and navigating caregiving responsibilities.
Grace shares how junk journaling started as a way to manage anxiety during the pandemic. And how perfectionism almost stopped her before she even began. We get into what helped her move through that. Including creating a "trash journal," leaning on community, and giving herself permission to start messy.
You'll hear how she built confidence by taking small, consistent steps. How online community played a big role in her growth. And why creative self care can quietly become something more sustainable over time.
This one is especially for coaches and service providers building an online business alongside real life. If you've been feeling stretched, tired, or unsure you have the capacity to start, this conversation might be what you need right now.
