Hi, my name is SASKIA. I’ve got over a decade of experience in running a small business in the needle craft industry. Selling, pattern and product design, teaching and running a needle craft school. As a small business owner you’re in charge of EVERYTHING branding, marketing, selling, promoting and cleaning the loo. I’m educated in marketing and photography and learned to do everything else ON THE JOB.I’m obsessed with the healing magic of crafting and the power of community.And I’m determined to lift our scene up for the world to notice so they can step away from FAST FASHION.In A SMALLER LIFE we learn from experts in the needle craft, textile and creative industry - big names and small - about what it’s ACTUALLY like to run a small business. Emotional talks with SELLERS about wins and woes, product and design, conscious decision making in branding and communication. Why we do it, how we do it and what we need to become the future of fashion without BURNING THE HELL OUT. A SMALLER LIFE fights apathy in apparel and aims to inspire YOU to look at your wardrobe differently. Where do you buy, how do you use your clothes and can you make some of it yourself? DREAMING BIG about a world where we rely on value based businesses, the KINDNESS ECONOMY and where we can fully say; FUCK FAST FASHION!© 2023 A Smaller Life Economía Gestión y Liderazgo Liderazgo

  • #104 - BuJo by the Sea – A 6-Week Summer Journal Challenge
    Jul 19 2025

    Send me a Text Message.

    Clarity, confidence, and calm… one bullet at a time.

    Summer tends to shake things up — especially if you’ve got kids at home, your routine is out the window, or you’re simply craving a break from the usual hustle. That’s why I’m hosting a gentle 6-week journaling challenge, right inside the Ja, Wol Community.

    BuJo by the Sea is a relaxed, Bullet Journal–inspired journey.
    Each day, from July 19 to August 30, you’ll get one simple prompt to help you:

    • Set an intention
    • Reflect on a mindful journaling question
    • Choose one priority
    • Log what happens with the original Bullet Journal bullets (• – ○ =)

    You don’t need anything fancy. Just a notebook, a pen, and a few minutes a day.
    This is a lovely way to experiment with the practice if you’re new to Bullet Journaling — or to return to it with fresh eyes if you’ve drifted away.

    You can join for free — in our own Ja, Wol Community private BuJo by the Sea space.

    Let’s move slowly together this summer.
    I’ll be there, journaling right alongside you.

     You know me as a guide, mentor and teacher, but I've also set off on a new adventure, coaching. Coaching gets a bad rep sometimes, but when it's done right, it can be really transformational. As part of my coaching education, I'll soon need to do real coaching sessions. And it could be a really great opportunity for you to experience it at no or low cost.

    Send me a Text Message.

    SUMMARY

    In this mostly unscripted episode, I share how Bullet Journaling helped me move from burnout to clarity. Before it became a tool in my business, it was a lifeline in my personal life. This is not a tutorial—it’s a story of how I found my footing again, and why I still use this method today. And I announce an exciting challenge I'm working on!
