🎙️ Episode 9

I Tried to Sort My Craft Supplies… and Accidentally Started a Business
Glue guns, glitter, and the moment I realized I needed a podcast….

🎵 [Imaginary Intro music: xylophone + label maker clicks + squirrel chatter + faint startup chime]

Hi. I’m Angela. Queen of Focus-ish.
And let me tell you about the time…
I tried to sort my craft supplies
and accidentally created this entire podcast.

✂️ It started with a label.

Just one.
A sweet little label that said:

“Glitter (All Types)”

And suddenly I was pulling out every bin, basket, tote, drawer, and mystery shoebox I had ever lovingly shoved art supplies into.
Beads that weren’t even mine from my hubby’s ex that I should donate to someone who wants them


Raw Wool from Cody’s Waldorf School that I saved in case one day I would read the instructions printed on a carbon copier


Ribbon scraps from gifts I saved to regift on a present one day


And enough clear packaging tape to get me through any forseeable tape issue 



The deeper I went, the more intense it got.
Because this wasn’t just a cleaning spiral.
This was a creative inventory meltdown.

🧠 And then it hit me.

There was a moment.
A glorious, chaotic moment, where I was sitting on the floor, covered in felt triangles, holding a glue gun in one hand and a tiny pom-pom in the other, when I heard myself say out loud:

“Honestly… someone should start a podcast about this.”

And then I froze.
Because I realized…

“WAIT. I’M SOMEONE.”

💡 The ADHD Flashpoint

Suddenly my brain lit up like a craft store fire sale.

I started scribbling:
Episode titles


Jokes


Character voices (Snacky, I see you)


A whole squirrel-themed emotional support universe


A tagline: Chaos. Closets. Closures.



And then I asked the most dangerous question an ADHD person with a Cricut machine can ask:

“Should I make this official?”

Flash-forward two hours:
I’m registering a domain.
I'm sketching out logos on the back of an expired Michaels coupon.
I’m halfway into writing a 3-season arc and wondering if I need merch.

Do I need an LLC?
Yes. Probably.
Do I know what I’m doing?
No. But I do have a Canva account and three kinds of glitter paper.

🎨 The Breakthrough

I thought I was organizing my supplies.
But what I was really doing?
Was sorting through dreams I’d put on pause.

This podcast was never just a project.
It was a permission slip.
A way to turn my spirals into stories.
And my doom piles… into punchlines.

🎵 [Soft music swells: upbeat, quirky, slightly triumphant]

So if you're sitting in a sea of yarn and googly eyes…
If you’ve ever started cleaning and ended up building a brand…

You’re in the right place.

Subscribe to Doom Piles & Distractions.
 Next episode: We plan for the new season called Swag Spirals where we dig through endless boxes of burner swag one pendant at a time.

Until then:
Dream out loud.
Label the glitter.
And if inspiration strikes mid-sort… register the domain before your brain forgets.
