I personally am diagnosed autistic and knowing when to give yourself a break is really hard. It’s even harder for someone with adhd. I also know there is a feeling of guilt that comes with rest as you feel like you should be doing more. It’s extremely important for us to recognise our own limits and to recognise the signs of neurodivergent burnout. We are more prone to burnout where if ignored for too long, can lead to breakdowns/meltdowns. I highly recommend pomodoro method, spoon theory, alarm for breaks or even just scheduling in breaks into your day as if it were a job task. Work-life balance is also important and needs to be prioritised 💖 I could keep going on and on but I’ll leave it at that 😅
awww sweety sorry to hear you went through all that. I don't have ADHD but I have anxiety attacks. It builds up and I don't know how my poor Mum deals with me but she also talks be out of it hehe. Best thing to do it not think about it all. Do a little everyday and it all adds up :) easier said that done I know. Fight or flight is built into us from evolution unfortunately. We aren't in a hunter gathering fighting or running from animals stage anymore...we are in a modern society that we just can't escape from modern day issues. Rather trying to make 50 of one product at once maybe 5 or even 2 of each at a time and cycle back through the products again. Push come to shove you make to order :) Take care of yourself. Your health is your wealth xx
Happy Birthday Megan 💖🌻🎂🎉 I have a good tip for the cutting mat as I am a bit heavy-handed with the blade, I upgraded to the grey Fiskars one [60 x 91cm (A1)], and I use my old mat underneath it as an extra buffer. And keeping it out of direct sunlight helps it to stay firm and not dried out, and so far so good! Loving the new collections!
Your a gem! it awesome you had that moment to connect with your mom.I hope you get/take self care moments. Also with the coffee collection the terra/paprika color reminded me of PSL lattes. Happy Birthday
Happy Birthday for the 12th 🎉😊 I had my 40th birthday on the 15th of September, hard to believe im 10 years older then you! I love your content ❤ enjoy your 30s, it's a great decade 😊
I had a day just like that yesterday! Had so much to do, and then I discovered my boiler had broken. Well well well that was the final straw, and I was crying for most of the day. It always feels so hard to push through but somehow people do it time and time again! Hope you had a nice birthday xx
Don’t run yourself ragged. You need to take time out for yourself. If things get overwhelming take a holiday from it all. Pause your website. And get your feet up. I felt burn out a couple of months back, I work full time and was preparing for my first market, on top of that I was stressing about getting CEUK testing done on my crochet animals.. it’s hard!
I also agree with Pumpkin Spice Latte. And I think you might be cutting through too many layers of fabric and that's why your blade isn't working as well as it could.
Happy Birthday 🎂 you did amazing getting through all of that. Please take good care of yourself. How about for future launches if you feel like this again, put on the listing that the item is made to order? Then give a time scale? Over estimate then if you are quicker the customer is even more impressed? I'm a full time tarot reader so Autumn is the start of mega busy season for me. Keep going, you're doing amazing, love your vlogs 💖
Bendita seas que todo se solucione y eso me motiva a ser lo que quiero ser con respecto al pequeño negocio y estar abrumada de tanto s pedidos pero con articulos en mi stan.... gracias Fauna .
Hi Megan, I love your videos❤. I feel your pain with the cutting mat I had this problem with my first mat. Turns out they don't like heat and I never moved my mat when using my heat pad for my heat press. I'm wondering if yours is in the sun often or near heat? I hope this helps Hun 😊
How old is the cutting mat? I know you said a family member gave it to you, but that might be the issue. I bought a used cutting mat and it was kind of too dry if you know what I mean and I had the same issue with cutting fabric. When I got a brand new cutting mat everything was great!
I have a question. I know that some of your old stock that was in the filing cabinet drawers caught some odor from the neighbors but would you think about washing them and selling them? If you’re not comfortable selling at full price maybe at a discount and disclose why? By being washed, they hopefully wouldn’t maintain the odor but you probably already thought of this and I’m just telling you something you already know. Maybe they did maintain the odor and that’s why you’re not doing this. I’ll shut up now. 😅
Have you thought about contacting the company of the mat and telling them your mat is trash? I also read something about removing the fibers from the grooves but again you might have done this and didn’t mention it so I will shut up now. 😅
The orange one can be called pumpkin spice latte!!!!

Id call it pumpkin spice it’s giving fall vibes for sure and in my opinion fits well with the fall collection 😊 Happy birthday 🎉
I thought of that too. Pumpkin spice .. so warming.
Your a gem! it awesome you had that moment to connect with your mom.I hope you get/take self care moments. Also with the coffee collection the terra/paprika color reminded me of PSL lattes. Happy Birthday
Am crochetting scrunchies while watching this video, lol! I love your videos so much
September. Autumn leaves starting to fall here.
Happy Birthday for the 12th 🎉😊 I had my 40th birthday on the 15th of September, hard to believe im 10 years older then you! I love your content ❤ enjoy your 30s, it's a great decade 😊
❤ Remember self care is important. Take small breaks to re-energize yourself.
I had a day just like that yesterday! Had so much to do, and then I discovered my boiler had broken. Well well well that was the final straw, and I was crying for most of the day. It always feels so hard to push through but somehow people do it time and time again!
Hope you had a nice birthday xx
Sending you a giant hug. I know how it feels, and I'm sorry you had to go through that. ❤🤗
Happy Birthday from Australia 🎉🎉🎉
Happy birthday! 🎉 The collection looks fab xx
Feliz cumpleaños❤🎉 Me encantan tus videos! Gracias por ser una gran motivación❤
I use the fiskers cutting mat and it holds up really well. Maybe try one and see how you like it.

Happy Birthday!!
The scrunchies you launched are beautiful - love the colors. Wish you a very happy birthday, and give yourself some time off (a pressie to yourself).
I also agree with Pumpkin Spice Latte. And I think you might be cutting through too many layers of fabric and that's why your blade isn't working as well as it could.
Happy birthday lovely lady , hope you have a good one take care xx
Love the content. Love the shop. Keep up the great work. 😊

Happy Birthday!! Hope you have the best day
Happy birthday I hope you had a great day I love watching your videos x

Contact the rotary blade company, show them your video, maybe they'll have some advice/send you backups for free? XD
Omg 🎉

Why do you use an air pruifier and mask? Just curious
She mentioned in another video because of the dust particles that the fabric releases into the air. Meaning the fabric fibers.
I have a question. I know that some of your old stock that was in the filing cabinet drawers caught some odor from the neighbors but would you think about washing them and selling them?

Are your prices too low? They seem low to me.
