The Papered Chef's Journey from Hobby to Online Phenomenon

Meaning and Moxie After 50

Embark on a journey through creativity and connection as we sit down with the delightful Kimberly Smith, the Papered Chef herself, who's turned her passion for paper crafting into a flourishing online presence. Her tale unravels the threads of a life steeped in artistic influence, from a childhood surrounded by her mother's costume creations to the pivotal role her 91-year-old mom now plays in their joint Etsy venture. Kimberly's story is a rich tapestry of midlife reinvention; a beacon for anyone looking to weave their hobbies into a successful business.
We peel back the layers of Kimberly's paper-crafting empire, tracing the origins from a modest collection to a YouTube channel with a bustling community eager for her every post. The serendipitous leap into the digital world, ignited by a chance piece of advice at a Stampin' Up conference, underlines the power of seizing opportunities. The episode is a masterclass in authenticity, as Kimberly reveals how DIY videos, made with the simplest of tools, can captivate an audience and construct a business from raw creativity and a dash of determination.
This episode will have you brimming with inspiration to start stitching your own community quilt, whether in crafting or any endeavor that calls to your heart.
