My Story & My “Why”:

Not long after giving birth to my son in 2015, I was faced with the decision that many new mothers have had to make: to return to work or leave their career behind to stay at home with their new baby. After a 2 week NICU stay, I found myself wondering daily: how could I stay home, raise this new baby, & bring in some extra money to support our family?

Writing has always been a passion of mine so, I started a blog. I learned along the way how to monetize & market, and my blog became my passion project.  It was this creative outlet that had been missing from my life. My blog following grew pretty quickly and almost immediately, I had posts syndicated by the Huffington Post. From there, I was asked to write articles for Scary Mommy, TODAY Parents, and more!

It was through the world of blogging that I started to gain clients who wanted me to help them grow their online presence, organize their businesses and take their time back.

Since 2015, I have been blessed with business growth that has allowed me to hire an amazing team and offer them the opportunity to live their dreams. In the spring of 2019, my husband left his 9-5 to join me in working with our clients and team.

On top of that? I get to work with the most amazing clients in the world, who are also…living out their dreams!  I’ve been there, I’ve done it & would LOVE to help your goals, become your reality.

You Can Do Anything, But Not Everything

Remember when I told you recently not to give up o Remember when I told you recently not to give up on Pinterest?⁠
⁠
I sure hope you listened to me 🤣⁠
⁠
We are seeing some AMAZING metrics on client accounts in the last 90 days. While we usually see great results for our clients on Pinterest - there can be ebbs and flows based on things like algorithms, seasonality, etc. ⁠
⁠
The signals that I'm seeing lately are things that we haven't seen in a few years from Pinterest.⁠
⁠
If you joined my live training a few months ago- you'll know that I predicted Pinterest would sort of 'go back to the basics' in 2023 and that's what we're starting to see...I'm seeing more and more things from them shifting value back to organic creators. 🎊⁠
⁠
We have VERY limited spots for Pinterest clients currently...if you're interested in taking your Pinterest strategy to the next level, I'd love to hear from you! ⁠

Thank you SO much! I love seeing clients' traffic Thank you SO much! I love seeing clients' traffic growth and results from our work together🥰
Being a mom is hard. ⁠ ⁠ Being a business owne Being a mom is hard. ⁠
⁠
Being a business owner is hard. ⁠
⁠
Being a mom brings more joy than I could have ever imagined.⁠
⁠
Being a business owner brings more joy than I could have ever imagined.⁠
⁠
What do the two have to do with each other? ⁠
⁠
So much.⁠
⁠
When I became a mom and a business owner- I had no idea what I was getting into. I had no idea where to even start to be honest. ⁠
⁠
The only thing I knew - with each of them - was to throw my whole heart into it. To trust my intuition, work hard and ultimately- do what I knew was right. ⁠
⁠
I have followed that in everything from changing the first diaper to sitting in the NICU praying for my babies' lives to signing my first client to dealing with difficult choices in our business. ⁠
⁠
I have followed my heart, trusted my intuition, worked hard, and done what I know and believe to be right. I know it sounds simple but there have been many times..it wasn't simple. ⁠
⁠
I firmly believe that in anything you do in life if you put your whole heart into it, trust your intuition, work hard and do what you know to be right...so many of the other pieces will fall into place. ⁠
⁠
Of course, that doesn't mean you will be an overnight success but it does mean that when you look back on the journey...no matter what the destination ends up being...you can say "I worked hard, I trusted my intuition and I did it all in love". ⁠
⁠
At the end of the day...to me, that's success.
