Journal Entry: This week, I’ve been digging deep into something personal that’s been a long time coming: finding my fight. For most of my life, I’ve been the ultimate pushover—letting others walk all over me, saying yes when I meant no, and avoiding conflict like it was the plague. It kept the peace on the surface, but inside? It left me frustrated, resentful, and far from the life I wanted. But no more. I’m actively working to change that, figuring out how to stand up for myself in ways that...

This week, I’ve been reflecting on something that keeps me grounded amid the chaos of life: the importance of having a goal you’re chasing, no matter if anyone else gets it or even cares.

Happy 4th of July! As we celebrate this Independence Day, I’ve been reflecting on one of the cornerstones of our freedom: the right to free speech. It’s more than just a line in the Constitution—it’s the heartbeat of what makes our country vibrant, messy, and alive. And today, I want to talk about why the toughest part of free speech—people you don’t like saying things you don’t like—is actually its most vital piece, and why using that freedom to share your own truth is so powerful. The 4th...

This week, I’ve been thinking about something that’s at the heart of everything we do: relationships. Not the fleeting, transactional kind, but the long-term ones—the ones that grow, evolve, and carry us through life’s twists and turns. Building and nurturing those connections, and keeping people in the loop as we journey through life, isn’t just nice to have—it’s essential. Life moves fast. Between chasing dreams (like my full-time leap into entrepreneurship with this blog and my work with...

As I pour my heart into building this personal brand—through this newsletter, my blog, and my work with clients—I’ve been open about my journey. From chasing my entrepreneurial dreams full-time to moments like my daughter’s dance recital or my whirlwind trip to Nashville for StoryBrand certification, I’ve shared the highs, the risks, and even the doubts. But now I’m wondering:...

This week, I’ve been thinking about a concept that’s a game-changer for anyone looking to grow a business or make an impact: the value ladder. It’s not just a buzzword—it’s a roadmap that shows you exactly where you’re taking your clients and how to get them there, step by step. When you know the path, you can guide people with purpose, building trust and delivering value at every turn. Let’s break it down using my blog as an example. A value ladder is like a staircase—each step offers more...
