    There is cool info but than there is AMAZING. This is amazing.
    I am a flower farmer and master baker, not a florist, but listening to this podcast is just amazing. The info is incredible, she is honest, real and so funny. Some of the information most definitely is also helpful in my busy kitchen. Thank you for sharing so much with the world in such an honest matter.

    A Florist's Fairy Godmother
    I stumbled upon Kathleen's podcats after I did a YouTube search for "how to transport floral arrangements". I found her YouTube page, then quickly realized there was a podcast and the rest is history. I love that Kathleen is so transparent with her knowledge and such a motivation - many others in this field are hard to reach and charge for any insight. Listening to her podcast is like having a motivational coach & business coach all wrapped into one. She is a wealth of knowledge and isn't afraid to share her experiences so we can all learn from them. I would not have the motivation to keep on trucking without her inspiring words and ideas. Thanks, Kathleen!

    Kathleen shares all the good stuff
    I am so thankful that I found the Thrive Podcast. In February I downloaded lots of episodes for a 20+ hour drive and binge listened to Kathleen for most of the way. There is so much great information in theses podcasts that I couldn’t wait to be back in the studio and dig in. Kathleen is truly a gift to the floral design industry. From business, to marketing, to working with flowers and managing events, Kathleen generously shares her knowledge with an honest and inspiring vibe. Her down to earth style is perfect, and I find myself being inspired and encouraged by her words throughout my day.

    Kathleen is a flower wizard!
    I’m a one girl shop. Actually, not even a shop! I work from my home studio (aka kitchen) and run the flower business while homeschooling my son. And Kathleen has been a true gem for me! She’s so full of knowledge, always openly sharing and always is ā€˜on the ground’ with her helpful advices and steps on how to climb your flower mountain! I often take early and lonely drives to the flower markets and listening to Kathleen’s podcasts is like having a best friend sitting with you in a passenger’s seat! She’s open, she’s funny, she’s not afraid to kick your butt and tell the truth, and she’s so full of valuable knowledge! Kathleen always inspires me to work my muffins off and never give up on my flowery dream. Thank you, Kathleen!

    Such a wealth of knowledge!
    As a new florist running a baby small business, this podcast has been a godsend! Kathleen is full of encouragement, practical advice and business savvy, and each episode leaves me feeling empowered and excited about this industry. I can’t say enough good things, you really need to listen and learn from this fantastic woman! šŸ™ŒšŸ»

    Clear Concise Helpful
    I’m new to the Thrive podcast but have been enjoying the clear and to the point educational format for implementing strategies to help move my business forward. I’m so appreciative of a podcast that doesn’t beat around the bush but is straightforward and practical, making the most of each episode in order to provide maximum impact. Thank you!!!
  • Leonitrous
    Love this podcast!
    Love this podcast! Kathleen has great tips and advice for florist. She's so open and transparent about her business knowledge and experiences; she knows so much, all while being super down to earth. Listening to her is more like talking with a friend who just wants to help you out rather than an expert telling you what to do (even though she is an expert). At the same time, Kathleen tells it how it is (no sugar coating). When she's discussing a topic, she discusses it thoroughly and she makes it fun! šŸ‘šŸ˜ā¤ļø -Joanna SariƱana

    Bklyn, NY loves Kathleen Drennan!
    I started listening to the For Florists podcast shortly after starting my flower biz in 2018. Since then, I’ve made several key improvements from the tips I picked up from this show, including everyday bouquets to weddings. Kathleen is such a great resource and mentor. I always look forward to my Tuesday ride to work. I never miss a week!

    Kathleen is the šŸŒøšŸ’£
    I thankfully stumbled upon your podcast by simply checking out other podcasts at the bottom of one of my flower friend’s podcasts (the Flower Podcast- Scott Shepherd) because I’m constantly searching for more education!! I opened a quirky but high end full service flower and gift shop just over 2 years ago... from scratch in a rehabbed 1930s filling station 🄓😳😬 20+ years in the business in all aspects will not fully prepare you for this ... not unless you’ve done this!!! I have searched high and low for information, advice, guidance etc... without much luck- till YOU!! I have paid a lot of money for all those things, but still not the nitty gritty- talking about systems and processes, money and pricing etc... As you know, it can get lonely in this business and finding a community over competition mindset is still hard to come by! Heavens gates opened up and šŸŽ¼šŸŽ¼āœØāœØšŸ‘¼šŸ» KATHLEENšŸ‘¼šŸ»šŸŽ¼šŸŽ¼āœØāœØ Helping a flower girl like me, out of the goodness of your heart!! All your advice has literally changed my outlook and the way I see my business, the way I run it and how I’m setting goals for the future!! I’ve gained/maintained confidence in the things I was already doing -that you have validated and more in the way I plan to proceed! Thank you INFINITY for all of your advice, experience, permission and ā€œ all the things!ā€ Keiley Caldwell Main Street Blooms Buford, Ga

    The best resource for floral designers!
    Kathleen gives so much valuable information in her podcasts! Everything you are thinking or wondering about within your business are the topics she covers. I have become more confident and knowledgable in running my weddings and events based floral company because of her and look forward to new episodes every week!

    Necessary listening for florists
    I came across Kathleenā€˜s podcast a over a year and a half ago, when I was brand new to the floral industry. I had just been hired as the wedding coordinator at a traditional brick and mortar flower shop that had a growing wedding and event business. Kathleen has been the business mentor that I needed as we’ve navigated 18 months of solid growth and new business practices. This is my mandatory weekly listen!

    Amazing podcast
    Wow! Truly this review is long overdue. Kathleen is a rockstar and I am a lifelong fan now! Her honesty, knowledge, down right transparency, oh, and let’s not leave out humor, is beyond what every ā€œbuddingā€ human needs. I have many podcasts downloaded but Little Bird Bloom is one of only three I listen to consistently and the ONLY one I have binged on because I couldn’t get enough of it! I have learned so much from Kathleen and hope to one day be able to attend her workshop!
  • Zafera
    All the things is right!
    When starting a business, a most daunting topic is how to price your services. I learned how to price my florist services from Kathleen. She was very direct and informative regarding pricing, which is rare from someone in the know. I am Learning so much from her and she’s building my confidence in an industry I am just getting started in.

    gives great advice
    Every podcast is filled with interesting information. Things you didn't consider before listening become points that makes sense later. Highly recommend to florists, even if you just listen in the background whlie doing other things.

    A great resource for the business side of floristry
    There are a lot of resources for design inspiration for florists but what good is being great at design if you aren’t making money? This podcast shows you the ropes on how to run a profitable and successful floral business. From the practical use of social media to defining who your customer is; each episode is a goldmine if practical information you can immediately put to use to improve your business. Sometimes she will kick you in the butt to do what you know you should have been doing and other times you will kick yourself in the butt because what she teaches was so obvious that you wonder how you missed it. If you want to get good at the business side of floristry THIS is the podcast for you!

    Morning!
    Each week Kathleen will give you the kick in the pants you need to get your business running smoothly. Her straight to the point, blunt outlook is very refreshing and inspiration at the same time. If you run or own a flower shop or if you are just starting an event business this is a MUST (with a capital M).

    Amazingly relevant information in a raw, down to earth format!
    Kathleen has so many great things to say about how she got to where she is now. I am in my second year of navigating my own floral design business and her experiences and tips/tricks/advice is spot on. I am implementing all the things as I hear her speak about them and I have seen instant results in my business and in my CONFIDENCE! I love knowing I am not the only one out here struggling with it all. I love how Kathleen’s true personality shines through her podcasts. It makes her more real and therefore more relevant. Keep up the amazing work Kathleen!!! And thank you! 😘
