Acerca de esta escucha

Hi, my name is SASKIA. I’ve got over a decade of experience in running a small business in the needle craft industry. Selling, pattern and product design, teaching and running a needle craft school. As a small business owner you’re in charge of EVERYTHING branding, marketing, selling, promoting and cleaning the loo. I’m educated in marketing and photography and learned to do everything else ON THE JOB.I’m obsessed with the healing magic of crafting and the power of community.And I’m determined to lift our scene up for the world to notice so they can step away from FAST FASHION.In A SMALLER LIFE we learn from experts in the needle craft, textile and creative industry - big names and small - about what it’s ACTUALLY like to run a small business. Emotional talks with SELLERS about wins and woes, product and design, conscious decision making in branding and communication. Why we do it, how we do it and what we need to become the future of fashion without BURNING THE HELL OUT. A SMALLER LIFE fights apathy in apparel and aims to inspire YOU to look at your wardrobe differently. Where do you buy, how do you use your clothes and can you make some of it yourself? DREAMING BIG about a world where we rely on value based businesses, the KINDNESS ECONOMY and where we can fully say; FUCK FAST FASHION!© 2023 A Smaller Life Economía Gestión y Liderazgo Liderazgo

    SUMMARY

    It’s a special one—episode 100! In this celebratory and cozy episode, I take you behind the scenes of how Pattern Shift came to be, how it has evolved, and what I’ve learned over five years of podcasting. From awkward beginnings and unexpected pivots to heartfelt listener stories and slow growth reflections, this episode is full of gratitude, reflection, and a few eclairs.

    If you’ve ever wondered how a small podcast like this gets made—and what keeps it going—this one’s for you.

    BEST QUOTE FROM THE EPISODE

    “I wanted to make a podcast that actually helps people… and I felt like interviews with famous knitters is great and entertaining and also can be very helpful… but there were already podcasts doing that.”

    You know me as a guide, mentor and teacher, but I've also set off on a new adventure, coaching. Coaching, when it's done right, it can be really transformational. As part of my coaching education, I'll soon need to do real coaching sessions. And it could be a really great opportunity for you to experience this at low cost. If you've ever been curious about working with me in this way, now's the time. Just send me an email: info@ja-wol.com

  • #99 - Launch - Sharing your work with connection, not pressure
    May 10 2025

    SUMMARY

    In this episode, we dive into the final step of the Ja, Wol framework—Launch. Sharing your work with the world can feel scary, vulnerable, and overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be. Launching isn’t about hype or hustle; it’s about connection and care. I talk about why launching feels so hard (especially for neurodivergent brains), how to rethink launching as a slow rhythm instead of a one-time event, and ways to share your work more gently and joyfully. If you’ve been holding back on putting your work into the world, this episode is your invitation to rethink how launching can feel.
