In this episode of the Fully Stoked Podcast, host Sarah Stokes sits down with Alyssa Hughes, founder and CEO of Barefoot Baby and Barefoot Baby Foundation, for a powerful conversation about entrepreneurship, faith, family, and creating a life you didn’t even know you needed.Alyssa shares how she left Connecticut with her then-boyfriend (now husband) Matt, moved to North Carolina with no jobs lined up, and accidentally stumbled into a life of tiny house living, art, chickens, and country community that completely reshaped her future.What started as a home décor and art business (Simply Palettes) out of a 5x7 apartment deck and borrowed garage eventually evolved into Barefoot Baby, a children’s clothing brand inspired by her adventurous daughter, Cameron, and a barefoot, outdoorsy childhood.Through a leap into wholesale on Faire, Alyssa and Matt went from 0 stores in May to 500 stores by December, scaling from baby/toddler sizes to full children’s sizes and hitting $40,000/month in gross revenue. But with fast growth came stress, burnout, and the realization that the business built to honor her family was starting to hurt her family.Alyssa opens up about:Moving from Connecticut to Carrboro and then to Marion, North Carolina, with no safety netHow a stranger’s free garage, five acres, chickens, and a community garden changed everythingBuilding an Etsy home décor business that wasn’t scalable — and why shipping heavy pallet art was brutalPivoting into children’s clothing, sublimation printing, and finding product-market fit with Barefoot BabyScaling from 0 to 500 wholesale accounts in 7 months on FaireAsking for help and finding Freddie at the Economic Development Commission and Mountain BizWorksGetting a manufacturing coach, moving out of the house, hiring staff, and opening a downtown production spaceStarting Barefoot Baby Foundation to “bring nature and family back to childhood” through memories, not merchandiseHosting family-friendly, free community events like a New Year’s Eve street party for kids and familiesHow a very recent faith journey (only about 2.5 years as active Christians) reframed their business as ministrySeeing God’s hand retroactively in every “random” opportunity, connection, and open doorAlyssa’s story is a masterclass in saying yes, asking for help, and allowing God to repurpose your plans into something far bigger than you imagined — all while keeping family and community at the center.Connect with Barefoot Baby & Barefoot Baby FoundationWebsite:👉 https://BarefootBabyClothing.com👉https://www.barefootbabyfoundation.org Instagram:👉 @barefootbabyclothing👉 @barefootbabyfoundation @thatbarefootfamilyConnect with your host, Sarah Stokes (Fully Stoked Podcast)Sarah StokesSr. Mortgage Loan AdvisorNMLS #1743154 | 376205Coast2Coast Mortgage Lending📩 Email: sarah.stokes@coast2coastml.com📱 Phone: 704-301-6040 | 828-772-4638🔗 Link Hub: https://linktr.ee/sarahwhitleystokes🔗 Digital Card: https://blinq.me/ndSaSgEp0Tmy🔗 Mortgage Site: https://www.fullystokedhomeloans.comSarah helps people buy, refinance, and invest in real estate while staying aligned with their values and long-term goals.#FullyStokedPodcast #BarefootBaby #BarefootBabyFoundation #WomenEntrepreneurs #FaithAndBusiness #ChristianEntrepreneur #SmallBusinessStory #FromZeroTo500 #WholesaleBusiness #KidsClothingBrand #NorthCarolinaBusiness #MarionNC #MountainBizWorks #EconomicDevelopment #FamilyBusiness #MomsInBusiness #WomenInLeadership #EntrepreneurJourney #NatureBasedChildhood #CommunityBuildingThe Fully Stoked Podcast features open conversations and a variety of viewpoints.
