    Hey lady! Amazing and inspiring story. I found this video super helpful! In fact I’m watching it a third time right now. Do you mind sharing which grant you applied for and what that process was like? How quickly were you able to receive the grant after your application process?

    Thanks for being so transparent. I’m in my 40s and having a boutique selling my designs has always been my dream. It can seem so far off with the expenses. You’ve inspired me to bring it to life. All the best

    Just finished the entire video today bc I got cut off yesterday! Thank you for sharing your journey with us. I feel like not many business owners explain how they got there, or even talk about the struggle with starting up your own business and how it could take a toll on your mental health. All you see on social media are people showing off their success, in a way, without showing the barriers they had to get past. So thanks once again, and I can’t wait for more :)

    Loved this video and hearing your story! As a fellow vintage shop owner it really brought memories up from my own business journey. I can really relate to that start up time where business is slow and your are really worried all the time. And really broke ! Been there ! Luckily now 5 years in my vintage shop is quite successful. But those first years I will never forget it !

    OooooOOo good question and good idea! It's so hard to describe the style I like, I think a mix between romantic/vintage?? I have tried different styles out in my shop and saw which ones did better than others and that really helped me solidify what items to choose, but for the most part, I just pick things I would personally wear hehe
