Creating something beautiful requires talent, humility, and grit. In our digital world, we often want to gloss over the less glamorous parts of the process, and focus exclusively on the end-product, the perfected image of a job well done. But, underneath any craft or creation is a story of a maker, and how they developed their unique gifts.  Christy Sing Robertson, today’s guest, wasn’t always a hatter. In fact, the decision to create custom hats came later in life by way of an intuitive pull. Since starting on her journey, Christy has created not only a custom hat company focused on premium-quality bespoke hats, but also a new way of life and flow for herself and her family.   On today’s episode, Christy generously walks us through her journey in finding her creative passion, her commitment to timelessness and quality, how she overcame adrenal burnout, and all the ways that connecting with her boundaries and non-negotiable needs have driven her to grow personally and professionally.  Christy and Corinne discuss: What’s the ethos of Sing Hat CompanyChristy’s intuitive nudge to take a hat making apprenticeship How Christy chose to trust her process in making a big pivot and developing her craft The humility to learn something new, and put the time in to learn The way Christy imprints her personal style and interest in timelessness in her hatsHow COVID changed the trajectory of Sing Hat Company for the better Why making a hat the slow way is better The ways obstacles in business can be gateways to creating better outcomesChristy’s journey learning to appreciate imperfections, and creating balance in her life Boundaries in business and why they matterHow Christy has learned to care for herself on a deeper level, so she can better care for her family Christy’s choice to have her business revolve around her family life, and not the other way aroundThe ways mothering and motherhood can reflect internal healing and personal growth They ways Sing Hat Company has taught Christy how to motherChristy’s experience with adrenal burnout Where Christy finds her inner creativityChop Wood, Carry Water by Rick FieldsThe War of Art by Stephen PressfieldThe systems Christy uses to make her creativity flow betterEpisode with Meghan Wallace JamesChristy’s flow working independently and also connecting with other makersFind Christy at the Old Salt Festival!  Connect with Christy online at SingHatCo.com!  This episode was brought to you by Late Bloomer Ranch.
