[🎨] Not everything you built needs to come with you.

Hello and welcome to my printables and low-content creation series, Reader 👋

Looking for a previous issue? They are all available to read on my website.

I procrastinated on writing my newsletter today…

Not because I don’t have ideas…
but because I’m right in that uncomfortable space where things are shifting, but not fully clicking yet.

So, I stopped overthinking by deciding to share the uncomfortable behind-the-scenes piece of life I’m currently experiencing, as I think some of you might relate.

I’m not sure why it happens this way, but with spring comes…

Subscriptions renewing.
Tools I forgot I was paying for.
Projects I said I’d come back to.

And it got me thinking about my site.

What still makes sense?
What feels like it belongs to a version of me I’ve already outgrown?

And then… my printable store came up too.

Do I actually want to keep it?

​

If I’m honest…
it feels like I’m in motion, but without traction.

And part of me keeps wondering:

Does what I’m doing even make sense?

​

I know this phase has a name.

The messy middle!

The part where you’ve moved past how you used to do things…
but the new way isn’t fully clear yet.

​

And I see this a lot with printable creators too.

You’ve made things.
You’ve tried things.
Your shop exists.

But something feels… off.

Not broken.
Just not fully aligned anymore.

And from there, you’re running on “just in case” mode that quietly eats up your time and energy.

​

Lately, I’ve been realizing it’s not a lack of ideas or effort.

It’s that I’ve been holding too many open loops at once.

Old products.
New directions.
Half-decisions.

Trying to move forward… while still holding on to pieces that don’t quite fit anymore.

​

So instead of trying to fix everything at once, I’m coming back to the same approach I use inside my Snapshots.

Looking at what’s actually there…
What’s still making sense…
And what’s just taking space without really moving anything forward.

Then making one clear move at a time.
One decision at a time.

Not glamorous. But real.

​

​

If your shop or your ideas feel a bit “in between” right now…

You now have the confirmation that you’re not alone 🙋‍♀️

PS: Letting go of what no longer fits is often harder than creating something new… but it’s usually what moves things forward.

NOTE: I’m moving things around in the backend to make room for a new project. Can you help me spot “bad experiences” regarding my site, your members’ area, communications, or whatever? I would really appreciate your help with this! It will make it so much easier for me to fix and improve everything that needs attention. Thank you!

Disclosure: From time to time, I will include links in the emails that would include promotions for my own products or affiliate products, meaning I get paid when you buy the product. However, I only ever mention products I love and would recommend whether I was being compensated or not. Always use due diligence when buying anything and remember, what works for me may not always work for you!

Thank you so much for your support of Stephie The Happy Mom!
