Ep. 22: When Your Art Business Stops Growing

In this solo episode, Stacie opens up about a hard truth many creative entrepreneurs face but few talk about: what to do when your art business hits a plateau. Sharing a vulnerable and candid story about a product launch that flopped, Stacie reframes business stagnation not as a failure, but as a signal for evolution. With practical steps and heartfelt encouragement, she walks you through how to diagnose the root of business slowdowns, how to reignite momentum, and why a plateau might just be the push you need to evolve into your next chapter.   Today on Art + Audience: Facing the Quiet After the Launch: Stacie shares the story of launching a candle line that didn't meet expectations, despite all efforts.
