Hello from China! A personal one here.

In today’s episode, we’re going raw and real from a Starbucks in Guangzhou, China, where I’m navigating some unexpected travel hurdles while sourcing for Only the Sweet Stuff. Join me as I share an impromptu reflection on what it’s like to be far outside my comfort zone—from language barriers to feeling a bit unanchored without the usual digital tools at my fingertips. We’ll chat about being okay with not having everything in control and why it’s sometimes essential to embrace those “lost in translation” moments. If you’re a crafter, creator, or business owner, I hope this episode reminds you that even when we feel off, there’s value in being adaptable and leaning into new experiences.
