Feeling like your Etsy sales have dipped recently? You’re not imagining it and Etsy’s Q2 2025 earnings report confirms it.

In this episode, I break down exactly what’s going on behind the scenes at Etsy, why sales are down platform-wide, and what it means for you as a handmade business owner. We’ll talk about rising fees, buyer hesitation, and Etsy’s push toward AI and personalisation... all without the corporate waffle.

But more importantly, I’ll walk you through what to actually do about it. Whether you’re on Etsy, your own website, or both, you’ll leave this episode feeling calm, clear, and ready to take control of your strategy again.

✨ We cover:

• What Etsy’s report really reveals (and what most sellers miss)
• Why it’s not you - it’s the current buying climate
• 4 things you can do right now to strengthen your shop
• The truth about fees, platforms, and where to focus next

If you’re feeling a little lost or discouraged, this episode will help you zoom out, realign, and move forward with purpose. 💛
