Valentine’s Day might look cute on Instagram — but behind the scenes? It’s cure time math, shipping stress, pink mica chaos, and customers who think “handmade” means “instant.”

In this Valentine’s Day special, Margaret, Jessie, and Shauna break down why soap makers are already thinking about February while everyone else is still recovering from Christmas. From planning releases months in advance to dealing with last-minute shoppers, fragrance fails, and heart-shaped regrets, this episode pulls back the curtain on what it really takes to get Valentine’s products to market.

Along the way, the heifers share their best and worst Valentine’s releases, customer chaos stories, partner struggles during busy seasons, and a Word of the Week that sounds like a medical condition but actually means “beautiful.” (Spoiler: Jessie absolutely nails it.)

Whether you’re a maker, a small business owner, or just someone who loves a little chaos with your romance, this episode is equal parts relatable, educational, and unhinged — in the best way.

💘 Soap talk 💘 Small business realities 💘 Valentine’s Day behind the scenes 💘 Pink mica trauma

Stay dirty, heifers.

Tonight on the Dirty Heifers Podcast, Margaret, Jessie, and Shauna dive into… absolutely nothing. No outline. No topic. No sponsor. Just three small-business besties embracing pure chaos and meandering their way through life, business, soap making, and whatever random thoughts happen to crash-land in our brains.

We’re talking unhinged stories, behind-the-scenes maker life, weird customer moments, random life updates, new obsessions, red flags, comfort habits, and why we should probably never record without a plan again.

Jessie tackles our Word of the Week: “Meanderthal” (very on brand), Shauna gets roasted in a vocabulary sentence, and the heifers argue through a brand-new “This or That” category: Unpopular Comforts.

If you love casual, unfiltered, hangout-style episodes from makers and small-business owners who don’t take themselves too seriously, this one’s for you.
