A podcast episode (YouTube) interview where Ashley Alderson talks with Caitlin Lucien, founder of Strength and Grace Boutique, about how Caitlin pivoted her boutique during the COVID‑19 pandemic. It covers Caitlin’s background (started online, opened a brick-and-mortar in Sandy Hook, CT), the initial disruption in March 2020, practical pivots (re-emphasizing e‑commerce and social selling, sourcing face masks, curbside pickup, contact‑free delivery), operational changes (reduced in-store hours, delegation to staff, new sanitizing/fitting-room protocols), and outcomes (large growth in customer base, improved profitability, greater emphasis on customer service and time prioritization).
