Go Digital on Etsy: How Creatives Can Build Income Without More Products with Guest Eden Fried15 Jan 202600:21:41

Send us your feedback

Delores sits down with digital product strategist Eden Fried to demystify Etsy and share why her Go Digital on Etsy Summit has become a hub for creative women. 

Eden explains that summits compress months of learning into a few powerful days and that success on Etsy isn’t reserved for a chosen few—it’s accessible to anyone willing to start. 

She shares how the summit was born from her own search for clear guidance, why digital products offer unmatched freedom and scalability, and how hearing others’ missteps can inspire action. 

You’ll learn why waiting for “perfect” is a trap, how to choose the right sessions, and why digital marketplaces make selling more achievable than ever.

Ready to simplify your Etsy journey and feel empowered?

In this heartfelt episode of Creative Juggle Joy, Co-host Delores sits down with her student KeriAnne Daniels, founder of Kind Words Count — a kindness-centered card and gift brand born from love, friendship, and a very personal story.

 🧠 Mindset, journaling, and being a lifelong learner (especially when starting “later”)
 🌟 Encouragement for creatives who feel like they’re “starting from zero”

Etsy’s latest algorithm changes have shaken the handmade and art community — and if your shop views or sales have dropped, you’re not alone. 

In this episode, Kaylie dives into what’s really happening behind the scenes with Etsy’s new “AI algorithm” and why relying on a single platform is riskier than ever.

Inside this episode, you’ll learn:
 🎯 What Etsy’s AI search updates actually mean for your shop
 🛍️ Alternative platforms worth exploring (Zazzle, GoImagine, Shopify, PayHip & more)
 🎨 Print-on-demand options for artists and handmade sellers
 📧 How to market your work off-platform using Pinterest, email, and social storytelling
 🌿 Why building your own website gives you long-term stability and control

This isn’t about ditching Etsy — it’s about building resilience, protecting your creativity, and taking back control of how and where you sell.

Is AI a Friend, Foe, or Creative Studio Assistant? (with Guest Lisa Martin)16 Oct 202500:39:22

Send us your feedback

Artificial Intelligence — it’s one of the most talked-about (and divisive) topics in the creative world right now. Some say it’s stealing from artists… others call it a total game-changer. But what’s the truth when you’re actually using it inside a creative business?

In this episode, Kaylie and Delores sit down with artist and designer Lisa Martin of Beachside Designs to unpack the real conversation around AI — beyond the hype, fear, and frustration.

Lisa shares how she went from being “AI-resistant” to using tools like ChatGPT to streamline her business — from product listings and blogging to building her website. Together, the trio explores:

✨ How AI can save time and reduce overwhelm for artists and small business owners
 🎨 Where to draw the ethical line between assistance and authorship
 ⚖️ The fears many artists have about AI scraping artwork and flooding marketplaces
 💡 How Kaylie and Delores use AI to create branded graphics and content in their own businesses
 🖌️ Why the heart of creativity will always belong to humans

It’s a balanced, honest conversation about finding the middle ground — using AI as a tool, not a threat — and how it can become your “secret studio assistant” without replacing your creative voice.

🎧 Tune in and join the conversation: is AI your friend, foe, or creative studio assistant?

Creative Reset: Planning for a Calmer, More Aligned 202601 Jan 202600:26:28

Send us your feedback

If the thought of “new year, new you” leaves you feeling frazzled, this episode is your gentle exhale. 

Kaylie and Delores invite you to approach 2026 with spaciousness rather than sprinting, focusing on clarity, soft structure and making room for real life. 

From clearing moving boxes and nurturing family routines to batching creative work and leaning on AI assistants, they share what’s actually working for them — and how you can apply it in your own creative practice.

Hear Kaylie explain why she’s prioritising simplification and ease this year, 

Delores reflects on the power of pre‑planning and how her AI helper “Piper” helped her translate a chaotic calendar into a doable annual plan. 

They also celebrate community wins, from new art businesses to published books, and remind you that simply keeping your creative spark alive is worth honouring.

Key takeaways:

• A “reset” doesn’t mean starting from scratch — it’s about gentle rebalancing and rebuilding after a busy season.
 • Clarity and simplification are guiding themes for both hosts in 2026.
 • Lean on systems and tools that reduce friction: sticky notes, Airtable, ClickUp, Notion, Google Workspace and AI assistants like Piper or Kaylen.
 • Protect creative days and rebuild creative muscles with low‑pressure sessions; progress matters more than perfection.
 • Celebrate every win, big or small. Launching a card line, self‑publishing a book or simply keeping your ideas alive all count.

Tune in for a dose of permission to slow down, reset kindly and build momentum from a place of calm.

Simplify to Grow: Pinterest and Purposeful Marketing with Alayna Creative25 Dec 202500:28:31

Send us your feedback

Artists and creative entrepreneurs can easily feel overwhelmed by marketing advice. 

In this episode Delores sits down with Alayna Creative, a Pinterest and marketing strategist, to explore how you can simplify your marketing and harness Pinterest as a visual search engine. 

Alayna shares her journey from a finance day job to building her one‑woman creative agency, why she swears by cold pitching, and why focusing on a single goal (rather than doing all the things) will move your art business forward. 

You’ll discover how to choose keywords like a customer, how to use Pinterest boards strategically, and a simple 30‑day pin plan that won’t burn you out.

Key Takeaways

·         Marketing clarity – start with one clear goal (first sale, licensing deal, Etsy traffic) and let that drive your marketing actions.

·         Pinterest is a search engine – think like a customer and use keywords and Pinterest Trends to find what they’re looking for.

·         Boards made simple – create boards around your content categories and don’t stress about being perfect.

·         30‑day pin plan – create 10 URLs you want to promote, make three vertical graphics for each, and schedule one pin per day.

·         Metrics that matter – track impressions, saves, and outbound clicks monthly to see what’s working, then double down on it.

Tune in to hear Delores and Alayna’s honest chat about staying focused, finding joy in your marketing, and using Pinterest to quietly work in the background while you make art.
