Seasons of Business

Working in seasons is an analogy I’ve consistently shared and recommended to my clients over the years.

We’re easily sucked into the minutia, the mundane, the monotonous tasks of our day-to-day. But, if […]

It’s no secret —I’ve been a Shop Good groupie from the start. Not only is the brand’s founder (Leah Kirpalani) a dear friend of mine, but she is also a past client. Having consulted for her both prior to and after taking her online-only business offline and into brick-and-mortar, I’ve had the pleasure of experiencing […]

Our Brand & Idea Showcase series features exemplary brands and businesses that are putting an emphasis on experience. If you have a brand in mind that is doing the common things, uncommonly well and you think I should know about them, head over to our Showcase Submission Form to share with me.

I review these submissions regularly and reach out for featured interviews, monthly newsletter and social media mentions, as well as to explore other collaborative opportunities. (Plus, I'm always looking for new rad businesses to support!)

Speaking of Small Businesses We Love...

One part creative, one part strategic, I’m always striving to look at the bigger picture and prioritize what matters most in both my work & my life. The beauty of intention is that, once you become attuned to it, it starts to seep into every aspect of your life. It’s become the vantage point from which I view everything. From how I live and work, to how I encourage my clients to market themselves, to the brands I choose to buy from and support.

Throughout this blog, I'm excited to share inspired ideas and mindful practices that guide us to simplify our lives, yet fill them intentionally. Isn't that what we're all really after? If that's you, too, I think you'll enjoy what you find here. —Happy reading!
