    Healing isn't a luxury. It's a business that works. Jamie Fanara.

    In this episode of Makers & Misfits, Corbyn sits down with Jamie Fanara of Body Craft Wellness, a massage therapist and educator who has spent more than two decades helping people heal through intuition, purpose, and a whole lot of grit. Jamie shares how she built two thriving businesses almost entirely through word-of-mouth, why trusting your gut matters more than any business plan, and how to grow without losing your soul in the process. It’s a conversation about balance, burnout, and the magic that happens when you follow what feels right.

This conversation is about more than flowers — it’s about the messy magic of turning passion into a profession and building a family culture that makes space for creativity.
