• This photo was one week ago...in Texas. Swipe and fast forward 4 days and our sweet Alea Marlene decided to make her entrance a month early. We’ve been able to love and get to know her for a few short days and for now, she’s in the NICU for an unknown amount of time, resting and building up strength before we can take her home. I wish I could tell you that it’s been easy to focus on the good. I wish I could say it’s been the sweetest few days of our life. But it’s really just been hard. A lot of tears have flowed from both of us, especially when I saw the feeding tube or the moment they put that mask over her sweet little eyes to go under the blue lights. I’m fighting hard to find rest in the truth of who God is and the story he has already written for this little babe’s life and praying for wisdom and strength to be what she needs us to be right now, and also praising Jesus she waited until we were back home to make her entrance!! ❤️

  • You should consider failing more often.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 😅⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Probably not what you would expect me to say, huh? ;) You really wouldn’t expect anyone to give you that advice, much less a business coach. Success is the goal, right?! Even though failure seems like the worst possible outcome, it may actually be more helpful than you think.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🤔⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ No one wants to fail. That’s just human. But you really should consider failing more often. Because if you’re never failing, you miiiiight not be reaching your full potential. You have some great ideas, some high hopes and dreams, but a few of those might just have to fail so you can either improve on it or find an even better option.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 💁🏽‍♀️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So friend, it’s time to let go of our fear of failure. Trust our creative gut. Try new things. Innovate. Take a risk. Challenge the status quo. Just TRY it.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 💪🏼⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Tell me, what is the fear of failure keeping you from trying right now?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 😬⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Check the blog for more thoughts on how to shift your mindset around failure 😘⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ . ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #theheartfeltgrid #hardworkandfairydust #creativepreneur #smallbiz #calledtobecreative #fueledwithheart #pursuepretty #herestothecreatives #savvybusinessowner #solopreneur #wearethecreativeeconomy #bosslady #creativityfound #dreamersanddoers #workfromanywhere #creativeatheart #communityovercompetition #makersgonnamake #pursuepretty #goaldigger #dreamchaser #businesstips #laptoplife #creativebusinesscoach #businesscoachforcreatives

  • I've pretty much survived this pregnancy on bagels. I actually had a bagel for breakfast AND lunch today, y'all. 😂 I actually think I should get a count. I've probably kept Panera and Starbucks in business just on my bagel-eating alone. 😅 So, of course, it was fitting that my high school besties had asiago cheese bagels at my super sweet baby shower last weekend. 😍 But really, whoa did I feel loved and whoa am I just overwhelmed and humbled at how our community has totally cared for us in providing SO DANG MUCH of what we need to welcome a baby into our life. 😭 The rest of today will be spent organizing alllll the things and ordering the final odds and ends to complete the nursery and make me feel ready to do this thing. 😳🎉 How are we really just 3 weeks away from April and about 5 weeks from our due date?! 🤯😅💃🏿

  • Hey friend! I hope you've had a great week! It's been a while since we've had a little #fridayintroductions fun, and I actually want to know you, so let's get to know each other a bit better!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Let's start with 3 things you probably didn't know about me...⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 1. I don't have my ears pierced. Not scared of it. Don't have anything against it....just never wanted to! 🤷🏼‍♀️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 2. My first business involved making wallets out of duct tape... super short lived and not profitable... also embarrassing 🤦🏼‍♀️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 3. I had to stop watching the show Parenthood because the constant drama made me irritable and less fun to be around 🙈 Has a TV show ever done that to you?!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Okay YOUR TURN! Tell me one thing I probably didn't know about you in the comments! Let's be friends! 🤗

  • Hard life stuff has a way of teaching you to rethink what really matters in life. This past year coupled with preparing to become a Mom has really done just that. It's so easy to be tunnel visioned in the day-to-day and dreams of 'more,' but when I really sit down and ask myself what I really, truly care about in life and where I want to be when I'm 80.... most of those day-to-day things aren't even a thought.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So, do your heart and your future self a favor and think on that today.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Where do you want to be when you're 80? How do you want people to remember you? And what changes need to be made now to start walking toward that end?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Lovely image from @katemaxstock⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ . ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #theheartfeltgrid #hardworkandfairydust #creativepreneur #calledtobecreative #fueledwithheart #pursuepretty #herestothecreatives #wearethecreativeeconomy #creativeatheart #creativityfound #dreamersanddoers⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #mentalhealh #mentalhealthawareness #selfcare #mentalwellness #mindfulness #feelyourfeelings #selfcompassion #wellnessjourney #mindfulliving #emotionalhealing #authenticself #trustyourjourney #selfgrowth #changeyourthoughts #creativeatheart #communityovercompetition #makersgonnamake #goaldigger #dreamchaser

  • Success is a really interesting concept. Especially as creatives, we tend to think of success as a certain number of followers, a certain number of figures of income or even define success as her business or her life.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 👀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We think of success in these ways often because we're not really deciding how we define success...it's just happening.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 😬⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So when we think about how badly we just want to finally find success in our business, it's important to realize that our instinctual definition of success is likely not our own.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🤔⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Tell me, how do you define success?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🙋🏾‍♀️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Today, my sweet friend and client @harperhadleycreative is guest blogging her secrets to defining success in your creative business!

  • There's a lie we've told ourselves as creatives. 😯 We want to do whatever work we feel like doing in the moment and honestly think that that is what’s best for the creative. After all, when inspiration strikes, you best take advantage of it, right? 👩🏻‍🎨 Ehhh, maybe sometimes.. but I'd say more often than not, that's the exception. 😱 It may be the unpopular opinion, but I believe we would all do well to learn to manage our time intentionally, pushing us to get things done that will actually work toward our big, beautiful dreams. 🙌🏼 Cause that's the point, right? Building a business we love around the life we dream of? What do you think? Am I crazy? 😉 ps...if you haven't read the blog yet this week, hop over! I've got 3 pro tips for time management as a creative!

  • Do you have a morning routine? What sets the tone for your day to make it a good one? . For me, a slower morning with time in my Bible, a relaxed breakfast and a tidy house make a world of difference! . Somedays (okay a lot of days...ahem pregnant) are still a struggle, but I've found that doing these things before I start work in the morning make the day exponentially more likely to go well. And a Starbucks vanilla latte on top never hurts either 😉
