just for Fabric Creatives
Have you ever found yourself knee-deep in a project you wish you had never agreed to? Maybe it took way longer than expected, paid far less than it was worth, or left you creatively drained. As fabric creatives, we often struggle with saying no—whether it’s to underpriced custom work, overwhelming requests, or projects that just don’t align with our goals. But here’s the thing: every time you say yes to the wrong thing, you’re saying no to something that could be a better fit.
In this episode of The Textile Creative Podcast, I’m going deep into the psychology behind why we struggle to say no, how to recognize when a project isn’t right for us, and—most importantly—how to decline work with confidence (and without guilt). I’ll share real-life experiences, practical scripts, and a mindset shift that will help you take control of your creative business, protect your time, and make space for the work that truly lights you up.
If you’ve ever taken on a project out of fear, obligation, or a need to please, this episode is for you. It’s time to set boundaries, raise your standards, and start saying yes to the right opportunities. Tune in now and start taking charge of your creative career!
