• Sometimes I find myself questioning if I’m doing the right thing for my babies. This Part Mama Part Preneur thing. . If you’re like me, we’re the Mamas that didn’t get a roadmap of holding both of these roles together. Just taking it day by day and trying the best we can. . The other day I was really feeling down about how my work felt like it was taking up too much space at a time when my babies needed me. When their little worlds were turned upside down. And they did need me. And I also needed to provide for them. A hard balance. . I’m not gonna lie, I was SO nervous to host the webinar last week. Just one of those things in the journey that takes you out of your comfort zone. In between the 2 live classes, I had to snap back to Mama-hood and take my biz hat off. As I was picking up around the house in leggings on bottom and dolled up on top, I found this little note Kennedy had drawn for me. . Maybe she could tell I was nervous. Maybe Daddy told her. Either way it struck me: Kennedy saw me do something hard. Something I was scared to do. She saw me try despite not having the picture perfect scenario. . A lesson I want my babies to learn. They can do hard things. Even when they don’t have a road map. Even when things feel upside down. You can, too 💗

  • Today. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Quite a different picture from my last post. We were smiling and happy and everything was okay. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And so many posts I see these days look the same - the smiles. And most of the time I love it. Most of the time even in the midst of this crazy season I cherish the laughs and smiles. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But for some reason today I’m not okay. Today I’m grappling with my fears and anxieties and unknowns. Today felt dark and hard. Today made me realize I need space to breathe and feel and make room for change. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I have no reason to post this other than to say if you’re feeling high highs and low lows right now, you’re not alone. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Lord, give us peace. 💗🌈

  • Lockdown Week 1 🦠 - Can’t make this stuff up: . 💄 Found Crew hiding under our bed jamming the tweezers into my hot pink lipstick. . 🤱 Signs of mastitis started coming on. Pain, redness, hot to the touch. Marathon nursed doll baby and thankfully I think it resolved itself!! . 👄 Esley fell on the pavement skating and busted her lip up 🙈 . 👚 The laundry machine broke. . 💩 And the kicker: our pup Millie pooped in Crew’s room and he picked it up to examine while in his crib 🤢🥴🤣 . Clearly I’m crushing this home bound thing 💁‍♀️ . Trying to find the little joys despite so much unknown and scary things happening around the world. Like this girl’s sweet smiles, Crew’s new words, and slower days. Praying for the reality of this situation and hoping you can find some small joys amidst it all, too. Would love to hear yours if you wanna share! . 💗💗💗

  • CREATIVES WE NEED YOU. 👇 . I find it so interesting that in a time where the world feels like it is completely shutting down, the arts have soared to the surface. People tuning into virtual concerts and museum tours and finding ways to keep the arts alive for our kids at home. 🌈 Things that some call unnecessary things in life are blessing SO many during these uncertain days. . I know selling feels awkward. It IS weird to navigate during this time. I feel it, too. I spent days in the tension of whether or not I should cancel launching, but there are people who need me. . And we need you. Whether or not you are an artist, if you are a small business owner, you are a creative in my book. Entrepreneurs exude creativity in their very being becuase when the going gets tough, we pull up our bootstraps, step up, and find ways to keep serving. Keep helping. Keep stimulating the economy. . Be a light for people. Help people as much as you can. If you have space to donate and feel called to do that in some way, shape, or form - do it. But please don't stop selling even if it feels awkward. . We need the gifts that you have and you need to put food on the table. Get creative in how you can show up to serve. Care deeply about the people you are selling to. Meet them with empathy and love. Selling IS serving and will keep our economy going. . If you have any thoughts or questions on how to navigate selling (or ideas to create a new income source if you need it) during this time, pop them in a comment below. I don't have all the answers, but I'm here with you trying. 💗 . Sending virtual hugs and jazz hands 🤗

  • I think we could all use a little social love amidst being physically distant and all the uncertainty. Whether you’re a biz owner or not, I’d love to use this square to spread some joy and encouragement. Tag a friend below and tell them something you love about them. . We can all use some kindness and joy right now! 💗 (captured by @sarahdipityphotos)

  • As an educator on creating a website that converts, I obviously jump for joy when I hear of big financial wins from my students. 🎉 I also LOVE to hear stories just like Alexandra's. 🎉 Of confidence gained and how leaning into sharing her unique brand story is helping her bottom line AND the impact she is making. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I'll never forget sliding into Alexandra's inbox with a litte nudge of encouragement: Where is your story?! . You see, it isn't enough to just employ conversion savvy secrets to convert. You have to CONNECT with the person on the other side of the screen. A story-based approach to your brand and website is a POWERFUL way to do that. In Alexandra's case, she leaned into her personal story and it really connected ALL the dots of the services and products she offers. . A common misconception is that to have a brand story, it must be YOUR personal story. Not true! Another misconception is that you need to be a wordsmith to develop a story-focused brand. Nope! . 👉 You just need a framework. 📄 . One of my natural gifts is storytelling. I help my 1:1 clients develop their brand story before we ever design a single graphic. So when I started creating the curriculum for Websites that Convert, I knew I needed to map out how to help my students build the foundation for their brand story themselves. . I don't know about you, but developing a process for something you are naturally gifted at is HARD! It took months to flesh out so that my students could do it on their own whether or not they were experienced in communications and copy. . The result? An entire module dedicated to uncovering your unique brand story, whether that be based on your personal story or a different angle with templates to help you write it beautifully. 👩‍💻 It is one of my students' fave modules to go through! . I'm proud of you, @theproductivityzone for leaning into your story. The confidence just oozes from every page of your website, friend! You're making such an impact!! 💗 (website design by @restored316)
