Description

Hey mama! Ready to build something beautiful in both your business and your life? You don’t have to choose between raising babies and chasing big dreams — here on the Artsy Ambition podcast, we’re turning creative passions into meaningful work with heart, hustle, and a little bit of thread. Hosted by Kathleen Lyons, hand embroidery educator and creative entrepreneur, this show is your cozy corner of the internet where ambition meets artistry. Whether you’re stitching your way to a side hustle, dreaming of leaving your 9-to-5, or simply craving creative inspiration amid the chaos of motherhood, you’re in the right place. Each week, you’ll find honest conversations, tactical tips, and heartfelt encouragement on topics like building a handmade brand, marketing without burnout, cultivating creativity, and showing up as your whole self — mom brain and all. Because you don’t have to choose between ambition and artistry — here, we do both. Subscribe and let’s grow together, one messy, beautiful step at a time.
