Welp. I’ve been working on a lil’ something behind the scenes, and I’m FINALLY ready to spill the beans.  My regular podcast is getting a little makeover!  Introducing…. It’s not usually my style to slow my roll and really think things through, but I’ve been thinking about this for a couple months and it’s been […]

Matt played a show on Saturday, and my mother-in-law was in town and could watch the kids, so I got to go! 🎉 We’ve been on a strict self-imposed budget in the Seymour house since January, but I was hitting the town and ready to drop twelve bucks on a spicy margarita. Last summer I […]

 There’s no secret agenda here, I’m a graphic designer, not a salesperson. I like making fun content and sharing it with people who get me and think it’s funny. (aka people like you) Then hopefully when you need some cool graphic design work, you think, “I should hit up dd!” That’s my big, secret, marketing plan. 😂

The year was 2009 and my best friend’s kiddo was turning one. We went to pick up the cake at the grocery store and as we waited, she showed me the photo in the book where she picked it out.  When the person behind the counter emerged with the cake we felt like we were […]

So admittedly I talk a LOT about doing the things that feel fun for you in your business.

My stance is that if you do the things you think are fun, you’ll do them consistently and stay on track to meet your goals.

Trigger Warning: Breastfeeding, Formula, and Mom Struggles… I didn’t breastfeed my daughter. Well, I tried for about 4 weeks, and I hated every second of it. It kicked up some serious anxiety I have and was making me miserable. There was one time when she was screaming, I was crying, and I looked at Matt […]

When I was a teacher people would say things like: 😐 “Don’t smile for the first 9 weeks”  🙅‍♀️ “I’m not here to make friends” 😠 “I don’t care if they like me, I’m here to teach” Ew. I always just smiled and nodded and then went and started learning how to do the stanky legg. […]

But the main differentiator in your business is YOU. If you rely too much on other people’s road maps, you start to lose your edge. The real reason people decide to work with you. 

This morning Matt and I had this conversation: Me: Guess what I’m going to write my email about this week?” Matt: No telling. Me: Cocaine Bear. It’s based on a real life bear that ingested nearly 75 pounds of cocaine that was dropped from an airplane by a drug smuggler in 1985. Ok, so the […]

Did you have a favorite teacher growing up? I had a few. 🥰 Mrs. Kidd, my 4th grade teacher. (Why am I so mad?!?) Ms. Roman, my middle school art teacher. Ms. Payne, my high school yearbook advisor. They were the best of the best. Which made me start thinking about the worst of the […]

I accidentally got sucked into my podcast analytics this week and it almost got me down. I was on a call with my coach and we were talking about my podcast and I pulled up the analytics in Hello Audio. The numbers were down. Like, way way down. It brought me right back to my […]

Let’s get real for a second. A HUGE part of making great content is creativity. Coming up with ideas and then sharing them in a way that’s interesting to people is a tall order and can feel really hard. Especially if you don’t consider yourself “creative.” And everyone’s just walking around acting like “making content” […]

You might feel pressure to be everywhere. But it’s really just not sustainable. If you give yourself permission to make LESS content, you could make the content you DO make that much better. Ya know? I was hooked as soon as I made my first static grid for Instagram in 2022. Since then, I’ve made […]

I say that I HATE scrolling on my phone. Yet… I find myself doing it more than I’d like. 🙄 Back in the spring of 2020 I quit all social media. It lasted 6 weeks until I was really feeling a pull to get back on Instagram, so I did. Fast forward to now, and… […]

Here’s what the email said: “We are thrilled to have you and your child/children join us for the Running Club!  Layer up for warmth!” Even though they said it would be back in the Spring, which officially isn’t until the 20th, running club is back at my kid’s school. 🙄 Wake up 20 minutes early, […]

I have less than a week to finish up all the recordings and worksheets for  Steal This Course . 😳 I’m totally on track to finish, but you wanna hear something wild… my planning and scripts Google Doc is 54 pages!!! This course is gonna be SO GOOD. And I’m so proud of it. Then I’m […]

We watched Marcel the Shell with Shoes On last weekend. I might be a lil’ out of touch, but I JUST realized that they created a feature-length film. And that it was nominated for an Oscar. And that the dude who made it is from Richmond, VA. (Where I’ve lived for over 20 years.) 🤯 […]

Here’s the deal. I get this whole idea of not trading time for money. It sounds great. I don’t have to work, and I get money. You know what else sounds great? Winning the lottery. Or like that episode of Saved By the Bell when they were at the mall early to try to get […]

Fun fact about me. I don’t like the whole idea of an ideal client avatar. I mean, you do gotta kinda think about who you want to work with.  But that’s hard to do if you don’t have any actual clients yet. Then you end up creating some weird frankenstein person who has one kid, […]

This week’s podcast episode with my client Julie Brown made me want to re-do my entire website. 😳 Even though I talk about being a rebel and doing things your own way, I realized I was still holding back on my website because I felt like I had to “narrow down my niche.” But guess […]
