Hello friends my name is Felisha, everyone calls me by my nickname Fee Fee. I am the owner of The Book Therapy Shop and I also have a bath and body business named Juicy POP Shop Luxe Bath and Body. I wanted to share a real life post with you all. I have quite a few people patiently waiting and wanting to know when The Book Therapy Shop will open and I wanted to explain what's going on. So I just moved all of my bath and body business supplies out of storage and my house is in shambles. When we first moved to Texas a short time ago, our apartment wasn't big enough for my business so I had to put everything in storage and couldn't produce any products until I found a new workshop. I then decided that it was a perfect time to fulfill another dream of mine, a small beautifully curated stationery shop. So I started preparing for the launch of the Book Therapy Shop. In the meantime my hubby decided that he wanted to move us into a bigger home and We moved into a cozy three bedroom house.
I am now able to reopen Juicy POP Shop and launch The Book Therapy Shop. I know, I know, I probably should have waited to begin a new venture but I didn't so now I am here. As you can see there is a ton of unpacking and organizing that needs to be done and everyday I put my all into making that happen. The only common areas in my home that's neat and orderly are my kitchen and bathrooms LOL.
I'm going to make this work friends, I have no choice but to make it work. I'm waiting on more shelving units to be delivered as we speak. I want the workshop to be organized and functional. One side of the workshop is dedicated to Juicy POP Shop and the other side belongs to The Book Therapy Shop and there will be a shipping area for both businesses in between the two.
If I'm being honest, sharing this part of my life doesn't come naturally to me.
I'm a pretty private person, and putting myself out there feels a little scary. But I realized that if I want to build a genuine community, I have to let you see more than just the finished products, I have to let you see the journey.
So today, I'm giving you a peek inside my workshop and business space. This is where dreams are being built, ideas will be tested, and a whole lot of hard work is happening behind the scenes.
As a new Texas resident, I'm navigating a fresh start while working to grow my established business, Juicy POP Shop Luxe Bath & Body, and bring my newest dream, The Book Therapy Shop, to life. Some days are exciting, some days are overwhelming, and most days are a little bit of both.
Thank you for being here while I figure it all out. Whether you've been following for years or just found me recently, I appreciate your engagement! Please like and follow me, your support means more than you know.
Ok enough about me, I'd love to get to know you too! Tell me where you're from or how long you've been following along. 💛

Starting and managing two businesses simultaneously while relocating can be an overwhelming yet rewarding experience. From my own experience, organizing business supplies and carving out functional workspace at home is crucial for productivity and mental clarity. Creating designated areas for each venture, like Felisha’s workshop split between Juicy POP Shop and The Book Therapy Shop with a shared shipping area, helps streamline operations and efficiency. Relocating to a new city also impacts a business owner’s mindset. The excitement of a fresh start is often paired with the challenges of unpacking and adjusting to new environments. In Felisha’s case, the limited apartment space in Texas initially forced her to pause production and place supplies in storage. It is common for entrepreneurs to face such hurdles and still stay motivated by setting small, achievable goals—like waiting for shelving units to enlarge and organize the workspace. Sharing the vulnerable parts of the business journey, including the trials and messiness of moving and unpacking, can help build a genuine community connection. Felisha's openness about her private nature and fears in putting herself out there reflects the authentic human side behind entrepreneurial success stories. This transparency invites support and engagement, which is invaluable for small business growth. Moreover, combining a bath and body business with a curated stationery shop indicates smart diversification, appealing to different customer interests and creating multiple income streams. Utilizing social media and hashtags related to small business journeys, like #SmallBusinessJourney and #WomenInBusiness, is an effective way to reach and grow a supportive audience. If you’re navigating the complexities of managing multiple business ventures or adapting to a new location, remember that organization and patience are key. Unpacking physical and mental clutter step-by-step, celebrating progress, and connecting authentically with your audience can turn a chaotic transition into a foundation for future success.
