Ever felt like you’re chasing a dream no one else understands? In this heartfelt episode, Kathleen opens up about the early days of building Artsy Lyons — when embroidery was still just a side project, and polite smiles or confused stares were the norm.

She shares how she kept going when it felt like no one “got it,” and how trusting the vision on her heart made all the difference.

This one’s for the quiet creators, the hopeful mamas, and the ones building something beautiful in the background.

You’ll hear about:

• The discouragement of explaining your dream (and feeling dismissed)
• How to keep showing up when the support isn’t there yet
• Why your dream doesn’t need validation to be worth it
• The power of finding just one person who does get it
• The slow, sacred process of proving it to yourself first

Takeaway: You don’t need everyone to understand. You just need to trust yourself enough to begin.
