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. […]

It’s been almost 8 months to the day since I put my Static 9 Grid up on Instagram. I thought it would be interesting to let you know if I’m still into it. The short answer: Heck YES! 💥 I haven’t had to worry about posting to my grid for 8 whole months which is […]

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” […]

When I first wrote this post, I was early to the static 9 grid approach. Once I made my own in 2022, I was hooked, recommending it as a way to save time, and creating ones for clients who wanted that free time back too. I first talked about it with Kristen over at Going […]

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 […]

So I’ve been listening to a lot of 90’s music while I’m working. And I keep having hilarious ideas for reels that probably will only really be funny to me. Like this one. It’s from the Hole Album Live Through This, which was pretty much the soundtrack to my high school career. I was like […]

Yup, pickle soup. Sounds weird, right? That’s kinda what made me wanna try it. 🤷‍♀️😬 Kristen Bell made it on a lil’ holiday show I watched the other day called Baking It. Apparently, it’s a Polish tradition? So when I headed to the grocery, I had on my list: POLISH Pickle, not Kosher. The recipe made […]
