Settle in for a long-overdue catch-up with Rachel Hoffman inside the doll shop! In this cozy, real-talk video, Rachel shares what's been going on behind the scenes—from the very real challenges of running a small business during a trade war, to personal reflections on family, health, and everything in between.

Topics we dive into:

• How international tariffs are impacting the doll shop

• Managing stress and anxiety as a small business owner

• Rachel’s thoughts on the possibility of having another baby, (only thoughts, not pregnant now.)

• Her Invisalign journey (is it worth it?)

• Her dad’s adorable pugs and their chaotic charm

• What’s coming next for Virtual Doll Convention

This is one of those videos where we just sit down and talk. It’s honest, unscripted, and full of the heart you’ve come to expect from Rachel and the VDC community.

Thank you for being part of this journey—we’re so glad you’re here.
