Tune in to the PBA alumni who prove to you that you CAN grow your online sales even if you are working part time, full time, stay at home mom, wife, are brand new to business, have been in business for a while, and more.

These are real small business owners that joined PBA at all different levels of business and with different levels of responsibilities in life… and they’ve used Product Biz Academy to grow their business even further, no matter what stage they were at or what responsibilities they are obligated to outside of their business.

It’s one of the clearest demonstrations of what this program is actually built to do.

It’s not about needing to work for your business full time or needing to be at a certain “stage” before you join.

It’s about clarity, leverage, and strategies that WORK to support a way of doing business that is simpler AND more successful.

Here’s who you’ll meet today:

• Karyn, who got her beverage glitter bombs into 90 stores in 2025 after joining PBA... including a massive deal with Williams Sonoma (which included an order of 14,000 units!)
• Catalina, who got her products stocked in 12 boutiques nationwide in 2025, is generating consistent website sales through building a community on social media, and hosted her first in-person event that included a product launch with 50 attendees.
• Funmi, who re-branded after joining PBA.. and sold out her entire candle inventory within six months and finally built a clear, confident path forward for her business
• and Johanna, who went from relying on farmer’s markets to nearly doubling holiday sales, launching a fully rebranded and trademarked skincare line, securing 2 new stockists + a local florist partnership... all while being pregnant with baby #2.

Join this conversation with people who once stood where you are now, wondering if this could really work for them.

Spoiler alert... It does.

What if the moment you finally decide to bet on yourself becomes the exact moment everything starts to shift?

In this week’s episode, I sit down with Chelsea, the owner of Familys Creations, the handmade wood-art brand known for its stunning multi-layer illuminated animal pieces and custom wooden U.S. travel maps that families treasure for generations.

Chelsea shares how she moved past imposter syndrome, elevated her branding, strengthened her storytelling, and stepped into the version of herself who applies for the dream opportunities instead of talking herself out of them. And those big leaps? They paid off. Today she’s hitting $4K+ months with one of her retail partners, and she even sold a $1,400 custom Highland cow piece that shipped all the way to South Carolina… something she once thought was “too big” for her.

If you’re in that space of wondering whether you’re ready to grow, evolve, or go after what you really want… this conversation will remind you that readiness isn’t a feeling, it’s a choice.

By the end of this episode, you’ll learn:

• How Chelsea transformed a creative hobby into a profitable handmade business
• The mindset shifts required for big opportunities (and why perfection is never the point)
• What it actually takes to land your dream retail location
• The magic that happens when you stop saying yes to everything and start leading your business with intention

At Family’s Creations, Chelsea truly embodies their motto - Art That Tells a Story. She designs and hand-finishes layered wood art, lighted pieces, and home décor that often incorporate reclaimed wood. She blends modern elements, like a CO₂ laser for cutting, along with timeless, storytelling tools passed down from her husband’s great-grandfather. Every piece is crafted with family, storytelling, memories, and the feeling of home in mind.
