Hey there, and welcome back to the show. Let me take you back to a moment I'll never forget. I was standing in the middle of a store aisle holding two products in my hands. Both were similar in price, quality, and functionality, but one of them just spoke to me. The packaging felt intentional, like it was designed with me in mind.
It wasn't just a box, it was an experience and gash, which one I bought. Here's the thing, packaging isn't just about protecting your product. It's about creating a connection. It's the first impression your customer has of your brand, and we all know how much first impressions matter, and today I'm going to show you how to design packaging that doesn't just look good, but also works hard for your business, whether your launching your first product or refining an existing one.
This episode will give you the tools to create packaging that stands out, protect your product, and resonates with your audience. So let's start with the fun part, the design. When someone sees your product for the first time, what do you want them to feel? Excited, curious, confident. Your packaging is your silent salesperson.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed by juggling teams, timelines, and a never-ending checklist, this episode is for you. Today, we’re diving into how to stop firefighting and start building a product development process that works for you—not against you.
Let’s get into it!
Are you constantly putting out fires in your product development projects?
Chasing updates, fixing missed deadlines, or repeating yourself to team members who are ‘unclear’ on what’s next?
If that’s you, I want you to know—you’re not alone.
Most of the founders and executives I work with come to me feeling exactly like this. Whether you’re managing freelancers or leading a cross-functional team, the symptoms are the same: confusion, bottlenecks, and overwhelm.
But here’s the truth:
You don’t need to work harder. You need a system.
Here are the 3 biggest culprits I see again and again:
1️⃣ No Phased Roadmap:
Everyone’s busy, but no one’s clear on what matters now versus what comes next.
2️⃣ Unclear Ownership:
Tasks fall through the cracks because roles and responsibilities haven’t been clearly mapped out across development, sourcing, marketing, and launch.
3️⃣ Missing Feedback Loops:
Teams work in silos. Design hands off to sourcing, sourcing throws it over to marketing… and misalignment grows.
If you’re ready to stop firefighting and start building a product development process that works, I’ve created something just for you.
It’s called The Product Development Process Fix—a free guide that walks you through the key steps of an efficient development process.
Inside, you’ll learn how to:

Let’s talk about a mindset that’s incredibly common—but quietly holding you back.
It’s this idea that if you just push a little harder, hustle a little more, stay up later, or manage one more task yourself… things will finally come together.
If that’s your default operating mode—you’re not alone.
Most of the women I work with are incredibly capable. They’re used to carrying a lot. They’re the go-to person at work, at home, and in their product business.
But that same drive to get things done can actually make product development harder.
Because here’s the truth:
You don’t need more hustle. You need a framework.
If this resonates with you, I’ve got a resource to make this easier.
It’s called The Product Development Process Fix—a free PDF guide that gives you the exact building blocks for a structured, clear, and calm product development process.
Inside, you’ll learn the phases to follow, what to prioritize, and how to move forward—without burning out.
