Taking Imperfect Action with Kait McKenna Radkowski of Party Mouth

My first guest back is Kait McKenna Radkowski, founder of the feminist pottery brand Party Mouth. Over the last few years, she’s closed her brick and mortar shop, doubled down on her art, moved to Pittsburgh, and welcomed her second baby. Her biggest lesson? If she waited for perfection, she may not have started. In this episode we cover: Opening her first business, In Good Company, a brick and mortar gift shop in South Boston Giving herself permission to experiment, start messy, and do things imperfectly How she rebranded after noticing what shoppers were gravitating toward (spoiler: it doubled her sales) Designing her new business to fit her expanding family life Entering a curiosity era: sharing real numbers online, brand partnerships, and her first digital product Plus, her multiple toothbrush theory, Notes app supremacy, and the Survivor podcast we should probably start Prepping for holiday market season?

Breakthroughs, Burnout, and Going Corporate

To kick off our season on transformation, I’m sharing the real story of why I started and closed my business, Feel Good Retail. RIP queen. We’re talking 2000s magazine-career fantasies, launching a business right before a pandemic, blurry boundaries, the client loss that changed everything, and the surprising relief of getting a job. Plus, what it’s been like to divorce my career from my identity, create without a niche, and figure out what's next on baby doe legs. If you’re feeling messy, unsure, or in between, this one’s for you.

Welcome to the Feel Good Galaxy: Less Hustle, More Flow

Welcome to the Feel Good Galaxy! The podcast formerly known as Retail For The Rest Of Us. This show started as an extension of my business, Feel Good Retail. Then in 2024, I took a corporate job (plot twist!) So the pod is evolving. My hope is that it is a place for the ambitious but overwhelmed, where we can dive into decisions, systems, and rituals that support us building lives and businesses that feel good. Tune in to hear why I'm bringing the show back and what to expect from Season 1, which is all about transformation: shape-shifting, changing your mind, and defining your next era. New episodes will drop every other week starting in October.

Form Follows Function: A Guide to Shape Shifting [REPLAY]

Change is inevitable! So annoying. If your engagement's tanking, your lease is up, or you're white-knuckling a channel that used to work, this episode's your guide to shape shifting. By separating function (what a thing actually does for you) from form (the specific way it looks right now), you can become a bit more strategic and a little less scared. ✨ The podcast will be back with new episodes this Fall ✨ In the meantime, let's catch up: 🕸️ www.feelgoodretail.com 💗 @feelgoodretail 💌 hiii@feelgoodretail.com
