Hosted by Randi Pullar, creator of the Chronically Cozy Creators Club, this podcast dives into the real stories behind how we are creating cozier, body-honouring businesses.
Each episode features honest chats with entrepreneurs who are redefining success on their own terms — with flexibility, rest, and self-acceptance built right into their workday. Whether you’re growing a handmade shop from your bed, running your biz between flare-ups, or simply trying to build something sustainable without burning out, you’ll find comfort, validation, and plenty of cozy inspiration here.

Building a Business around Faith and Chronic Illness With April Aramanda
In this episode, I chat with April from the Invisible Illness Podcast about how her faith influences her approach to business, balanced with her faith and chronic illness.
Faith is often a difficult topic these days, but it is as much a part of us as our disabilities and when we can connect on the base of - all lives matter, no matter their beliefs - we can create a community that supports us and helps us heal and grow. April considers God to be the CEO of her business and runs all her big decisions through him, focusing on doing good, connecting and helping each other.
Get cozy and join us in exploring the role of faith, community, and personal beliefs in navigating life's challenges and creating a cozy, supportive environment
Key topics
The influence of faith on managing chronic illness
Building community around shared beliefs
The concept of trusting in the unseen in faith and life
How personal beliefs shape business and personal growth
The importance of love and kindness regardless of beliefs
Connect With April Aramanda
April lives with multiple chronic illnesses, and knows what it’s like to spend years without answers—knowing something isn’t right and feeling like no one is listening.
The Invisible Illness Club grew from that experience: a nudge from God and a need for a place where women with chronic illness could feel less alone and genuinely understood.
