From Pages to Apparel: My Journey from Amazon Books to Print-On-Demand

Last night, as I mapped out my game plan for today, I took a moment to appreciate how far I’ve come. Shifting from creating inspirational books on Amazon to launching a print-on-demand business has been a game-changer. My books had impact, but now I get to turn those messages into something people wear proudly—making inspiration a statement.

I used to think I was scattered, hopping from one creative endeavor to the next. But guess what? It all connects. Whether I’m coloring an inspirational saying in the morning or designing a bold t-shirt, it’s all about empowering people. That’s why I created Chronic Radiance—to help people shout out loud that chronic illness won’t hold them back.

Today’s been one of those days where everything clicks. I crushed it at the gym—second trip of the day—and tackled my Etsy tasks like a boss. I was nervous about setting up a sale, but with a little help, I made it happen. And that feeling of pushing past fear? That’s exactly what I want to share with my community.
