Waykeeper Farm & Nerdery

Neither my husband nor myself have a farming background, we didn’t grow up around livestock and we both had very small vegetable gardens as kids.

We wanted to get involved in small-scale farming because we believe that big agriculture is not sustainable.

I first learned about permaculture design when I started planting trees in my suburban backyard outside Dallas, Texas and they kept dying.

I learned more about the interconnected world of soil life. I got to appreciate how important water flow is, and how planting more than one thing together can help the whole do better.

After successfully planting some fruit trees, I wanted to bring animals into the picture to help increase our fertility and add diversity. 

So we made the plunge and bought a 17-acre farm. We kept a few of the original horses as boarders, and we’re grateful because we learned so much about farm life from these longtime horse owners who have seen it all.

After moving we jumped in with both feet and welcomed chickens, geese, ducks, and dairy sheep to our farm. Not to mention a few barn cats, and all of the amazing birds, butterflies, and bees.

We’ve been called “software nerds who pick up sheep turds” and that feels like a great way to put it.

The farm is an ever-evolving project, where we continue to plant more trees, and practice rotational grazing in an effort to regenerate the land and sequester carbon.

I help grow your business so you can grow your impact | $100M+ generated through coaching & online course offers | Proven strategies, predictable results | Founder, ThrīvSolutions

There are 2 ways to grow your business...

Option 1: Through trial and error, trying to figure each new step out, under constant pressure and feeling alone most of the time.

Most entrepreneurs choose Option 1, which is why most businesses fail.

But there is a different choice...

Option 2: Through proven strategies for growth, using systems that scale, equipped with the mindset and support you need.

The entrepreneurs who choose Option 2 don't just succeed, they thrive!

I've seen it both ways...

For 10 years as the head of marketing, I led the growth of a global coaching business.

During that time, we generated:

- $20M+ online sales generated
- 32K+ live event attendees
- 250K+ webinar attendees

Leading to 12x growth of the business.

But it wasn't a straight line up. 

Not at all.

Along the way, I failed big, faced unexpected challenges and felt like I was in a permanent learning curve.

One fact stands out...

Growing a thriving business comes from 3 foundational pillars that support that growth:

- strategy
- systems
- mindset

It's these same pillars that build your product, your marketing, your offers, your team, your leadership... everything.

But most entrepreneurs don't have these 3 pillars in place.

That's what I do now:

Help you activate the proven strategies for growth, using systems that scale, equipped with the mindset you need to thrive!
