A Smaller Life is now PATTERN SHIFT

You can expect the same friendly and relaxed interviewing style with fiber and needle craft business owners.

Shifting into a podcast that supports overwhelmed small businesses owners in the fiber and needle craft industry, helping them to set up and organise their business for growth and personal well being.

Because when you grow stronger, your business grows stronger, the industry grows stronger and together we can provide the a force of good and a counterbalance to fast fashion, helping makers in turn craft their fashion slowly and more sustainably.

A SMALLER LIFE - for makers & sellers

We learn from experts - big names and small - what it’s ACTUALLY like to turn your passion into cash. Emotional talks about wins and woes, product and design, conscious and value based decisions and branding and communication. Why we do it, how we do it and what we need to become the future of fashion without burning the hell out. DREAMING BIG about a world where we rely on value based businesses, the KINDNESS ECONOMY and where we can fully say; FUCK FAST FASHION!
