I might’ve overdone it this year. 🫠

When I envision what I want for myself—both in my life and career—travel consistently tops the list.

And as things currently stand, I’ve had the honor and privilege of getting to travel for both work and leisure this year.

However, I said “yes” more times than I said “no,” and I’m feeling it. 

But as this is the second full year of running my own business—choosing what my priorities are, determining what 'success' looks like to me, and deciding how to manage some semblance of work/life cohesion—I am pretty proud of myself.

I’ve pushed my limits this year, but I've also gotten to see where my edges are.

I've spent work trips in hotels and conference rooms, but I've extended my stay to explore and play.

I’ve jumped at the chance to see new places, and have booked flights abroad so that I can meet up with friends.

And I’ve worked from elsewhere in the States so that I can spend time with family.

This year I’ve travelled to the following locations (in this order):

Missouri
Dallas/Ft Worth
Washington, DC
San Francisco, CA
North Texas
Houston
London, England
Dallas/Ft Worth
Philadelphia
Missouri
Denver, CO
Palm Springs, CA
Prague, Czechia
Las Vegas, NV
San Diego, CA

And while it’s felt as much of a rollercoaster as the list looks, it’s something I’ve always dreamed of being able to do.

Year 2 of entrepreneurship has looked nothing like year 1.
And I imagine next year will look entirely different as well.

But I’ve been learning more and more about what I'm capable of, and how there are SO many ways to live a life. 

Grateful to be creating one that fills me up ♥️

Your personal branding spirit guide ✨🔮

I don’t have many friends that I’ve known for very long.


Growing up, I moved so often, it would be difficult to keep in touch and to keep friends once we were states apart; our lives moving on without each other.

As I've gotten older, it's proven even more difficult to maintain friendships, let alone make new ones.

Friends from college move away, get married, have babies.

Friends made later in life have their routines already, and have less space and time to incorporate something or someone new.

When I read Patti Smith for the first time, I felt like she was with me.

As if she were my friend, talking to me, and sharing with me her story.

She accompanied me on my three month solo trip throughput Europe, and I cried through her heartbreaks, carrying them with me as if they were my own.

I read this book twice in three months, and just finished the same tattered copy again.

I felt her sorrows,
I laughed along with her.
I hoped for her future.
I sat at the table with her, sipping coffee.
She is my friend; my company.

And while real life friends are important, and necessary, I think friends found in books feel just as real sometimes.

I often get asked: “𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙚𝙭𝙖𝙘𝙩𝙡𝙮 𝙞𝙨 𝙜𝙝𝙤𝙨𝙩𝙬𝙧𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜?”

To which I reply, “I write materials for people in their voice. So basically, 𝘐 𝘸𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘦 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘺𝘰𝘶, 𝘢𝘴 𝘺𝘰𝘶.”

Which is often followed by, “Well, why don’t people just write for themselves?”

And there are several reasons I can share in response to that:

👉🏼 They don’t like to write
👉🏼 They don’t have time to write
👉🏼 They’re not sure what to write about
👉🏼 They know it’s important to be present online but they have other pressing priorities

So essentially, they hire me to help them formulate content and mine stories and experiences that will reflect the following three buckets:

🪣 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗽𝗼𝘀𝘁𝘀 — showcasing areas of interest beyond just their job, so people following along actually get to know them.

🪣 𝗧𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝗽𝗼𝘀𝘁𝘀 — showcasing their experience and expertise, positioning them in the field/area they want to be recognized for.

🪣 𝗦𝗼𝗳𝘁 𝗮𝘀𝗸𝘀/𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗽𝗼𝘀𝘁𝘀 — directing those reading to take action or reflect on whether they’re interested in utilizing the service offered.

Because having a digital presence is essential. And sometimes we need help getting started, determining our goals amd objectives, and keeping the ball rolling.

If you’re interested in building out your personal brand, or some assistance keeping it afloat, I offer my 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗕𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗗𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗽𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗦𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀 as well as ghostwriting and social media maintenance services!
