💬 In This Episode:Have you ever poured your heart into something—an Instagram post, a new product, or a podcast episode—only to be met with silence? No likes, no comments, no sales... just crickets?

In this episode, I’m getting real about what it feels like when business gets quiet. Across all three of my brands—Pretty Pineapple Bead, Keep Fresh Studio, and Sparkle & Shine—it’s been slow lately, and that silence can really mess with your motivation and confidence.

If you’ve ever felt discouraged, unseen, or like you’re shouting into the void, this episode is for you. I’m opening up about burnout, low engagement, and the hard truth of showing up even when it feels like no one’s paying attention.

🔍 What You’ll Hear:

💬 Quote to Remember:“Sometimes the silence doesn’t mean failure. It just means you’re in a planting season—a slower season where your roots are growing even if you can’t see the blooms yet.”
