In this episode, I’m sharing my business story and why I’ve chosen to do things differently.

This is not a story of overnight success or constant growth, it’s more of a story about embracing weirdness and creating a slow, soft life on my own terms.

I talk about starting work very young, burning out in my early twenties, studying while working full-time, and the long, winding path that eventually led me to start my web design business. I share how underpricing, imposter syndrome, teaching, community-building, and eventually a life-altering accident reshaped how I think about work, money, and success.

I also speak about grief, maintenance years, simplifying my life, and why I believe it’s okay for businesses to pause, refine, and deepen rather than always expand.

This episode is an invitation to rethink what success can look like, and to trust that building a business around your real life is not a weakness, but a strength.

In this episode of the Kind Business podcast, I’m joined by Sarah Cook, a creative mentor supporting tender-hearted writers and neurodivergent humans to build lives and livelihoods rooted in creativity, self-trust, and care.

We talk about what creativity really is, why it matters so much right now, and how many people have been taught to believe it is something they lack rather than something they live. Sarah shares more about their own business journey, what excites them about supporting others, and how their work has evolved over time.

We also explore collaboration in the age of AI, what kinds of connections feel nourishing and meaningful right now, and the deep magic Sarah sees in neurodivergence. This is a conversation about creativity as a life force, not a productivity tool, and about building work that honours sensitivity, difference, and slowness.

Sarah Teresa Cook (she/they) is an autistic poet and essayist whose work explores perception, creative practice, and identity. As a creative mentor & coach, she works intimately with other writers and neurodivergent folx across genre. Her words have appeared in Rattle, Write or Die, Porterhouse Review, Oregon Humanities Magazine, and in Someone Like Me: An Anthology of Nonfiction by Autistic Writers. Based in the Columbia River Gorge, she publishes For the Birds, a Substack newsletter, and dreams of writing the “Before & After” puzzles for Wheel of Fortune.

In this episode, I’m sharing a behind-the-scenes look at my newly updated web design offerings and reflecting on when it might be time to work with a web designer.

I talk about why having a solid online home can make such a difference, from reducing reliance on social media to saving time, increasing confidence, and creating more ease in your work. I also walk you through what it’s like to work with me, from the initial intake and branding process to building a website that’s designed to support you for years to come.

You’ll hear why I work with WordPress and Divi, how I think about sustainability and ownership online, and how my two web design packages are structured so that people can choose what fits their current stage and capacity.

This episode is for you if you’re feeling curious about getting support with your website, even if you’re not quite ready yet.
