Overthinker Apparel, founded by Kayla, emerged from the desire to help people feel a little better about their imperfections while coming to terms with my own. What began in a humble apartment has now blossomed into a brand that spreads comfort and joy to thousands of customers.

Our unique creations, ranging from embroidered sweatshirts to decor, are designed to provide you with a sense of belonging. They're tangible reminders that it's okay to be authentically you, it's okay to stumble, and it's okay to grow at your own pace.

Thank you for the inspiration. I just left my high paying job due to bad management and now I'm struggling to pay my next bills for my family. After watching some of your videos, I am inspired to push forward and started my own business making apparel called Knotjustordinary. I'm scared as I literally have almost nothing left in the bank, but I'll push forward with big dreams. Thank you for the reminder!

As an older woman, it’s very heartwarming to see younger women pursue their dreams. You’ve inspired me ❤

Starting an online business is all about chasing dreams and seizing opportunities. For me, it's about finding fulfillment and making a meaningful impact. Your journey with Overthinker Apparel is inspiring, and I appreciate the transparency in sharing your ups and downs. Looking forward to more insights!

You are so inspiring and such a hard worker. I am expecting my first child in a few months and I’m so motivated to start my business because I don’t want my kid to think sitting in an office for 10 hours everyday is normal. I want her to see there are other ways of making money and taking control of your time. Thank you for all the info! I will be buying from your store this Christmas :)

Thank you over thinker. All things are possible, if we believe. You will never know the outcome until you actually start.

[itmikael]

your channel and business is so inspiring, I appreciate how transparent and authentic your channel, business, and advice is. This is a lot of the great principles I also hear from entrepreneurial videos, and its really making me want to take the next steps, thank you.

[mikapyt]

Just as others have said, you are truly an inspiration and I admire your determination and creation to pursue your online store, business, and presence. I’m definitely gleaning from you as I continue my online store and business journey. I will be sure to credit you publicly for inspiration as you sincerely deserve it. 😊

This is so inspirational! I've been following your journey and I remember when you were very down and discouraged. To see you now giving out advice is so inspirational. cheers to you

I am starting an online business because I want to show my kids that you can achieve anything you set your mind to. My 5-to-10-year vision is to have consistency, so I am able to leave my 9 to 5. This was so inspiring and was exactly what I needed. Thank you for this and was a sign that I am on the right track.. :)

[Agentxile]

Thank you for taking the time to grow through everything, especially the accounting.

[mahelyzee]

“Satisfied needs do not motivate.” Damn that one hit. I love that you were able to hire your mom. I would love to reach that level.

[Sonyasha]

I like your vibe. What you say is real, it is scary, it is hard. but work through it and make many goals.

[blueberrypancakes]

This video was inspiring and I am glad you didn’t give up. Also that your sister had your back. Best sister award. Also love your advice and studio vlogs.

Amazing! I debated on selling candles for a while, and I finally ordered some molds, colors and packaging for a really small startup. I had my doubts about shopify, but since this video opened my eyes, I think i'll pull the trigger on it later on😍

I am currently enjoying Overthinker Apparel YouTube channel. Love it so much!

[anneira]

I have been wanting to start making an online story to sell my crafts but I never knew where to start. This was helpful with where to go and what to start with. Thank you.
