Advertise on podcast: Retail For The Rest Of Us: A Podcast For Indie Retailers Who Want To Make Sales, Build Community and Grow Their Shops

To kick off our season on transformation, I’m sharing the real story of why I started and closed my business, Feel Good Retail. RIP queen.  We’re talking 2000s magazine-career fantasies, launching a business right before a pandemic, blurry boundaries, the client loss that changed everything, and the surprising relief of getting a job. Plus, what it’s been like to divorce my career from my identity, create without a niche, and figure out what's next on baby doe legs. If you’re feeling messy, unsure, or in between, this one’s for you.

Welcome to the Feel Good Galaxy! The podcast formerly known as Retail For The Rest Of Us. This show started as an extension of my business, Feel Good Retail. Then in 2024, I took a corporate job (plot twist!) So the pod is evolving. My hope is that it is a place for the ambitious but overwhelmed, where we can dive into decisions, systems, and rituals that support us building lives and businesses that feel good. Tune in to hear why I'm bringing the show back and what to expect from Season 1, which is all about transformation: shape-shifting, changing your mind, and defining your next era. New episodes will drop every other week starting in October.

Change is inevitable! So annoying. If your engagement's tanking, your lease is up, or you're white-knuckling a channel that used to work, this episode's your guide to shape shifting. By separating function (what a thing actually does for you) from form (the specific way it looks right now), you can become a bit more strategic and a little less scared. ✨ The podcast will be back with new episodes this Fall ✨  In the meantime, let's catch up:    🕸️ www.feelgoodretail.com 💗 @feelgoodretail 💌 [email protected]

Let's ditch the do-everything-all-the-time mentality and plan around your business's natural ebbs and flows. Busy seasons where you can't help but be "in" the business, and quieter seasons to work "on" the big-picture stuff. Like if Mother Nature was your business coach, ya know? ✨ The podcast will be back with new episodes this Fall ✨ In the meantime, let's catch up:    🕸️ www.feelgoodretail.com 💗 @feelgoodretail 💌 [email protected]

Bestie, you’re doing too much, and your endless to-do list might be the thing quietly stalling your growth. Burnt out, overwhelmed and still chasing every shiny new tactic? SAME, but this one's a reminder to get back to basics: your audience, your context, your sales strategy. ✨ The podcast will be back with new episodes this Fall ✨ In the meantime, let's catch up: 🕸️ www.feelgoodretail.com 💗 @feelgoodretail 💌 [email protected]

This episode originally aired in 2023, but the thought remains: there are plenty of experiments you can run to grow your business! And just because a strategy might work for other people doesn't mean it will work (and feel good) for you. NBD! Ideas are everywhere! Take what you like and leave the rest. ✨ The podcast will be back with new episodes this Fall ✨ In the meantime, let's catch up: 🕸️ www.feelgoodretail.com 💗 @feelgoodretail 💌 [email protected]
