• THIS client shows you how to be human and stay in business >> . When we operate from a place of fear, we can make decisions just to keep us out of trouble. But when we operate out of a place of action and values - we will always know what to do next, even if that is asking an expert or reaching out to a friend. . @sohandmade1 and I have worked a few different projects together like animations, customer care cards and she jumped on the infographic promotion two months ago too! . We created an infographic that spoke to two of her core values: Imagination and Adventure. These values look different during quarentine. . She values shrinking her environmental footprint, empowering parents and self-directed learning. You can clearly see those values in her brand in the packaging, the website and her social presence. . Sarah knows how much her customers value adventure and global care too. So she started making masks for them at a low cost (by donating the her time and only charging for supplies and shipping). All of her packaging is ecofriendly as well. . No calls to get out on the go because of your freedoms. No whining and complaining about being home. Just a solid hope in being on the go again one day and for now exploring indoors and following precautions to keep others safe. . Love ya @sohandmade1 and so happy for all you are doing for families and the environment right now.

  • What are you for? . I am for: Customer care that empowers our clients to value themselves _ I am for: clear communication and honesty _ I believe all people deserve to understand what they read, see themselves represented and be treated with dignity _ I am for the strength of women-owned businesses and their ability to empower and empathize with others _ I believe in the power of mindfulness and the body’s ability to tell us what we need (and what our business needs) _ I am for: trusting ourselves (and what comes out during vision mapping sessions) _ I am for: harnessing the power of visuals to clarify and inspire people.

  • What is a good mom? _ Before I was a mom, I knew what a good mom was. Someone who was ever present, with a clean house and served healthy food. Her kids were never in harm's way, nothing bad happened to them. They grow up with perfectly intact mental health and lots of self confidence. A good mom put herself last, was the foundation of all of her family's successes and she never followed her own selfish desires. She kept herself looking beautiful (aka skinny, clear skin and silky hair) and she stayed sexy for her husband - who she never divorced. She attended church and made sure her children memorized scripture and helped others. A good mom was the receiver of a lot of compliments and praise. _ Now I'm a mom. _ And my idea of what makes a good mother has flipped on it's fucking head. _ It's actually impossible for me or anyone to be that mom. _ But even if I could try to fit into that box. Is it really worth aspiring to? _ Every day I discover more about my real self, the self that I had to stuff deep deep down so I could even try to fit into the perfect mom box. _ When a mother comes into my space, I want there to be no box for them. I want them to feel welcome, included and seen. I want to talk about deep things and share big ideas. _ I think the rebellion in motherhood now that says You can parent any way you want isn't actually possible either until we accept people who are different than us and allow people to be themselves without being harmed, shunned, killed, ridiculed, belittled, cast off and left behind. _ I'm learning to be okay with not being accepted. I'm learning that if the group I'm being shunned from or feel inferior to because of my ADHD isn't worth being a part of anyway. _ The more I inspect that perfect mom box the more it looks like White Culture and White Supremacy to me. And I'm in the fight dismantle it. _ I hope you're with us. • • • #bossmama #momswithgoals #dowhatyoulovetodo #workingmomsrock #bestversionofyou #bosswomen #momswhohustle #thisgirlmeansbusiness #busymama #honestmama #leadhership #wahmlife #momsinbusiness #momceo #momrepreneur #shespeakstruth #womensupportingwomen
