If you’ve ever played volleyball or even watched it from the sidelines, you know what it looks like when a team is “out of system.”

"How do I calm my mind when it won’t stop racing?"

As a Creative Business Owner, finding peace, clarity and calm isn’t a luxury- it’s a necessity. Without it, your decision-making, your leadership and most of all-...

What matters MOST, to ME, right NOW?

When you FEEL your mind racing or your thoughts scattered, this simple question can be quite powerful. Take a moment to breathe and become present, then ponder your answer to this question. 

The three keywords to pay attention to are: MOST, ME, NOW. Consider the question without those words: What matters? Alot of people ask themselves this question; however without the keywords, your answer may inv...

Let’s talk about something that every Creative Business Owner has wrestled with at some point- doing business with friends.

Offering your service to friends can be meaningful, but it can also be messy.

• Maybe a friend asks for a “hook-up.”
• Maybe you offer your product or service at a discount, because that just feels like the right things to do.

Let’s talk about the words and phrases that run through your mind all day long, quietly influencing your energy, your confidence and even your productivity.

I'm talking about the words and phrases you use when:

• "I'm so tired"
• "I'm so busy"
• "I can't seem to catch my breath"

I’ve been there.

In the early days of my floral and event design business, I was constantly exhausted and overwhelmed, juggling all my responsibilities. I knew that way of living wasn't sustainable.

I needed to find a better way of navigating life, so I could be happier no matter what ...
