Ep 63: Carrie Haase - The Love of Craft and the Challenges of Being a Solopreneur, Finding Balance, & Prioritizing Self-Care
Carrie Haase has been designing and creating jewelry for over 20 years. Her jewelry celebrates geometry and geology, and the meeting of the two. When she’s not in her home studio working, she can often be found rummaging for unique gemstones in and around the Chicago area.
In a perfect world we could just sit at our benches and create while someone else handled the business side of things, marketing, and social media. But for most of us, we need to do it all, and some days doing it all feels defeating and like we just can’t do enough.
During our conversation you’ll hear Carrie share that being a working artist and solopreneur isn’t easy, but her love for the craft drives her desire to push through the challenging moments. We talk about balancing work with the things that nourish us, physical challenges that can result or flare up from our metalsmithing, and the importance of self care.
