Wow. 10 months ago I opened my shop one week before a hurricane. 🌀
What followed was months of survival, a donation center built from chaos, and the kind of help I never thought I’d need to ask for. 🌀
In this solo bonus episode of The Maker’s Moment, I’m sharing the real story behind my experiences in WNC since Helene over the past year:
How we turned emergency pallets into a thriving garden, how a national community kept the dream alive, and why I still believe in helping others build creative lives they don’t need to escape from.
Takeaways from this episode:
🌱 You don’t have to be ready to begin
🧰 Asking for help is part of the work
🌼 Chaos can still grow beauty
💛 Holding space is hard (and worth it)
🧠 The real magic is in continuing with intention.
If you’re standing at the edge of your next big move, I hope this gives you the courage to leap.We are messy, brave, and fully human.
