Let’s Talk About the Overwhelm

If you’re a quilter, crafter, or creative business owner trying to grow online, I’m guessing you’ve felt this:

You’re posting on social media... but not seeing results
You’ve got offers or classes you know are valuable… but no one’s buying
You’re tired of feeling like marketing takes all your time, but doesn’t really move the needle

I’ve been there.

As a quilt instructor turned digital marketing strategist, I used to believe I had to do it all: reels, email, blog, lives, hashtags, giveaways. But the more I tried to keep up, the more burnt out I got—and the less time I had to actually create.

That’s when I realized something had to change. I didn’t need more marketing tasks. I needed a clear plan.

And that’s why I created SIMPLIFY—a free, 3-day digital marketing challenge designed for creatives just like you. April 16th - 19th 2025.

Why SIMPLIFY?

The SIMPLIFY Challenge is a starting point. It's designed to quiet the noise and help you understand three essential truths:

1. What Digital Marketing Actually Is

Spoiler: It’s not about dancing on TikTok (unless you want to). It's about communicating the right message to the right people—and building systems that keep doing that even when you're not online.

2. Why Marketing Feels So Hard

We’ll unpack the mindset traps and common mistakes that make creative entrepreneurs feel stuck—and how to shift into ease.

3. Your First Step Toward Clarity

You’ll walk away knowing exactly where to focus next, whether you're launching a new course, trying to grow your list, or finally starting that pattern shop.

This is your invitation to stop doing everything, and start doing what works—for you.
