ABOUT THIS EPISODE
What starts with a broken makeup bag turns into a creative business built by a daughter and her mum, stitched together through family, creativity and a love of making things by hand.
In this episode I chat with Megan about the journey behind Em & Meg—from a family tradition of sewing, to their first market stall, to building a sustainable handmade business across regional Victoria while she continues to work full-time as a nurse.
We talk about what it really takes to build something of your own alongside a career, the realities of running a business in a regional community, working with family, navigating the doubts and financial challenges of those early years, and the joy that comes from creating something people genuinely love.
For Megan and her mum, thriving isn't about building the biggest business. It's about happiness, connection and finding something that brings them joy.
