Episode notes

In this episode of The Dirty Heifers Podcast, the Heifers get real about what happens when your hobby turns into a hustle—and then straight into burnout hell. From soap making and small business stress to the emotional rollercoaster of content creation, Margaret, Jessie, and Shauna dive into the realities behind “doing what you love.”

They chat about creative burnout, social media pressure, balancing passion and profit, and what happens when your craft starts to feel like a chore. You’ll hear hilarious and honest takes on managing stock, handling customer expectations, and deciding when it’s time to rest—or outsource!

The Heifers also share their Halloween plans, personal burnout stories, and wrap things up with a light-hearted “This or That” game all about business, creativity, and soap-making chaos.

Whether you’re a soap maker, crafter, entrepreneur, or just trying to keep your spark alive in the daily grind, this episode is for you.
