Episode 4 - Kirsten Taylor - The Beautiful Disaster who leads with grace and a heart of gold

In this episode of Stephanie's List, Stephanie sits down with printing industry leader Kirsten Taylor — self-described beautiful disaster, lifelong learner and fiercely authentic business owner. From their first meeting at a Women in Print breakfast to years of friendship, this conversation reflects on confidence, passion and what it means to show up fully as yourself. Kirsten shares the story of completing her printing apprenticeship to prove she belonged at the press, the love and craft behind Taylor Press, and why specialty printing is about heart as much as ink. She also opens up about returning to university to study psychology, exploring behaviour change, environmental impact and the deeper motivations that shape how people think and act. Together, they talk about vulnerability in leadership, resilience through life's messier seasons, and the quiet strength required to run a business with dignity and care. At its core, this is a conversation about authenticity — about being brave enough to call yourself a beautiful disaster, and kind enough to lead with grace.
