2025 was the first full calendar year that I worked truly full time with Buzz In The Hills. I started this lil business in 2018, but really mostly as a hobby back then.
I worked jobs like eco studies teacher, plant nursery manager, yoga teacher, nanny, postpartum dula. During all of which I poured my money into Buzz like one might do with a savings account, or stocks. It has been my investment into myself and the life I want to live.
Each year alongside many a jobs, the brand and vision of Buzz as a business developed and refined further. Over those 8 years I was able to transition to more part time work, and then only part time seasonal work. This little hobby has turned into a real business that truly provides for me, & for the first time now putting food on the table and paying the bills full time!
My past self would be so thrill with where I have landed, and I truly feel so blessed and proud to have been able to work towards a place where I can work my craft from home as my full time work.
This self employed creative life definitely has its many challenges, but I am so glad to be here. Thank you for being a part of it. I couldn’t do it without you and your support, big and small! 💛
