The holiday season is here once again!  Dude, where did 2019 go?! It’s time for friends, family, traditions, and FOOD. *I’m ridiculously excited to eat my father-in-law’s gluten-free pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving.* As a business owner, you may begin to feel the “holiday scaries”, wondering how you’re going to do it all and be it […]

So many experiences, so many events, so many conversations led up to this one presentation. It was the best presentation I gave all year. I don’t say that lightly. I say it with humility because it was the first time collaborating with the Dave Ramsey Organization and Christy Wright’s Business Boutique.  Over 3,000 people gathered […]

Each year, my good friend and marketing guru, Amy Porterfield, hosts an event in San Diego called the Entrepreneur Experience.  *Y’all it’s SO much fun… Amy knows how to party and I make great mixed drinks! ;)* I was fortunate enough to take the stage at this event and speak to a room of budding […]

The struggle is real. No, I’m not talking about having one too many dirty martinis or recovering after a rough night’s sleep. *That’s another story completely.* I’m talking about facing the big one-eyed monster (or one-“I” monster): INSTAGRAM.

Boo boo, if you give me two minutes, I’ll give you my two cents on how to grow your audience. Do you have aspirations to become an influencer on a small or large scale? Are you dreaming of the days when you have the swipe up feature? Does the thought of having a verified sticker […]

I know the feeling of getting my business off the ground without two pennies to rub together. Tryna make a dolla outta 15 cents seems impossible, right? Oh boo boo, I know this all too well. I’ve been there, too. *But* I’m living proof you can create a world-wide brand by simply SHOWING UP. This […]

Can you count on at least one hand the number of TERRIBLE Facebook groups you’ve been a part of? Oh friend, you know the groups I’m talking about: filled with mean, judgmental, and snarky comments within an overwhelming and overcrowded space? *Some online spaces feel like walking into a crowded nightclub on a Friday night, […]

One of my favorite questions I often receive is, “What is it like to work with your husband?” Friend, I’m sure you know by now that JD’s the conductor to this party train! I would go off the tracks without him. I am #blessed with a partner who believes wholeheartedly in me, both in our […]

Crickets. For the longest time, that’s all I heard after posting on social media or sending a newsletter.  I put so much time and effort into saying what I thought everyone wanted to hear. And then…nothing.  Finally, I discovered a method that changed everything.  I found a way to make those crickets disappear, and I […]
