    I Overshared! or The Case for Gatekeeping…sometimes
    2025/01/30
    Oversharing.
    It can really screw us in some situations. So how do we draw the line between avoiding OVERSHARING and gatekeeping? Join us this week as Amanda recounts her misadventure at a storage unit Estate Sale where she discovered the perils of talking too much! When it comes to working in close proximity with your competition, a little gatekeeping can go a long way. Or like Grandpa used to say, "Loose lips sink ships."

  • I'm Changing Gears and It's Hard to Be Patient

    I'm Changing Gears and It's Hard to Be Patient
    2025/01/08
    Welcome back to another episode of The Thrifters! It's a new year and while Amanda isn't really a "New Year's Resolution" person, she is embarking on a big transition in the way she's going about selling vintage clothing. And its starting now, in early January, JUST BY COINCIDENCE, OK?!
    But it is hard when we put ourselves out there in a new way and aren't immediately met with cheering and applause, people lifting us up on their shoulders and launching us into the air with make-shift velvet cape-trampolines.
    So Amanda is here commiserating with all of you about the struggles of pushing into a new business model, our ever-sinking Instagram engagement and more.
