Three Lessons I’ve Learned as a Business Owner
Last week marked a significant milestone for me – the second anniversary of my business. As I reflect on this journey, I'm reminded of the roller coaster it has been – a ride filled with lessons, challenges, and incredible growth.
Over these last two years, I wanted to share with you three invaluable lessons I’ve learned as a business owner:
We're All Just Trying To Figure It Out
In a world filled with curated social media feeds and stories of seemingly perfect lives, it's easy to fall into the trap of comparing ourselves to others. We often look at successful individuals and put them on a pedestal, assuming they have it all together. But here's a little secret: NOBODY has it all figured out.

Embracing The Fall Slump
As the vibrant energy of summer abruptly gives way to the gentle whispers of fall, I find myself caught in a peculiar dance with the changing seasons. Living in the Pacific Northwest, the sudden arrival of darkness and rain feels like a whiplash. All I want to do is snuggle up with a blanket and a good book, far away from the glow of a computer screen.
I've noticed I'm not alone in this. The world outside seems to echo our internal shifts, and it's natural to feel the dip in energy and motivation. The weight of current events can make things seem a bit hopeless, and it's okay to acknowledge this heaviness.
Is it time to leave your job
Life's journey is all about growth, and your career is no exception. If you're finding yourself pondering whether it's time to leave your current job, you're not alone. Change can be both thrilling and intimidating, especially for those who are seeking more alignment, purpose, and fulfillment.
The Power of Embracing Your Work Style and Cycles
Ever found yourself caught in a self-critique loop because your work style doesn't fit the traditional mold? If you're nodding, you're not alone. Let's talk about a topic that's close to home for many of us – how we work, and why embracing our unique style and cycles can be the game-changer we've been searching for.
How to Overcome the Start-and-Stop Cycle
We've all experienced it - that initial burst of excitement and motivation to start something new, only to find ourselves slowly or suddenly losing steam. And when we stumble, we can't help but berate ourselves for not staying the course. Sound familiar? Trust me, you're not alone!
Let's talk about falling off the wagon and the process of bouncing back. Because guess what? It happens to all of us, including me! Yes, even the person behind this blog has her moments of "super duper energy" to suddenly finding herself weeks away from sending out a new blog or any type of post for that matter.
4 Tips To Embrace Your Unique Strengths
The moment I stopped trying to fit in and fighting what made me unique and different, was game changing in both life and career. Unique is no longer a trigger word for me, and I know when you start embracing what makes you unique and special, you start unleashing your superpowers!

how to prepare for the september surge
As we transition away from summer to the back to school energy of September, you’re not the only one getting your shit together… So are companies! We’re in what’s called the "September Surge," a time when opportunities in the job market start to pick up pace.
Why the September Surge Matters:
You might be wondering, "What's so special about September?" Well, let me tell you—it's a time of renewal and reinvigoration. After the summer slowdown, companies are gearing up for their year-end goals, trying to spend their budget before the end of Q4 and that often means they're on the lookout for new talent and fast.
So, if you've been feeling discouraged or stuck in your job search, now is not the time to throw in the towel. Instead, it's the perfect moment to put your foot on the gas pedal and steer your career in a new and exciting direction.
