Love this perspective and its something I have wrestled with in my own business. How many products do I really need to sell? Am I designing new things to for the joy of it, cause its a good product not being produced anywhere else, or just cause I feel like to be a "real" brand I need more products on my site? I think my main product is a unique thing that can be super helpful and functional, but when I get outside of that I often find myself realizing instead of making more of my own products, I could be plugging other businesses already doing that and encourage people to buy whats already been made, and support my fellow small business owners.

Mmmmm this is such a beautiful aha moment Ariana!! Thank you for sharing it and giving me something to think about too! It reminds me of the gift economy and sharing from abundance with those around us.

Tell me about what you sell!

I sell sustainably made dresses that accommodate pregnancy and breastfeeding. My goal is to help moms build capsule wardrobes that make it easy for them to love their body and express themselves on a daily basis. I actually just posted my first post here on substack, and its all about how I got started doing what I do!
