In this solo episode, I’m breaking down exactly how I sold out my Reading Girls collection in just 4 hours—yes, really. I’ll walk you through every strategic step: from testing the concept to building a months-long runway, growing a VIP waitlist, leveraging TikTok and Pinterest, and crafting emails that convert.

I also get honest about mindset shifts, pricing (why I raised it mid-launch and plan to again), and what I’ll change next time. Whether you’re an artist, creative, or entrepreneur, this is your behind-the-scenes guide to launching with confidence and intention.

Bonus: I share how I’m applying the same framework (with the help of ChatGPT!) to future launches and The Club.
