Quick heads-up: Enrollment is OPEN for the next Foundations program cohort, so you'll hear a little more from me than usual this week as I share stories, client wins, and invitations to join us.

Well, this was NOT on my 2026 bingo card. I went to Washington, DC this weekend to speak at the Women Getting Visible conference. I came home with a SASH. Yes. An actual sash that said "Visibility Queen" on it. If you know me, you know I lean more toward the tomboy/practical magic side of life. You're more likely to find me digging up tubers in the garden or learning Ani DiFranco songs on guitar than practicing my beauty queen wave. But this wasn't a beauty pageant. It was a people's choice...

My good friend Kate has known me since we were in our 20s. She’s seen me through countless creative projects, reinventions, businesses, hairstyles, and bad boyfriend choices - and she's always been one of my biggest cheerleaders on social media. You know that friend you send memes and reels to all day long? That's Kate. Over the past year, I've been sharing a lot of client wins from my Foundations program, and she's usually the first to hit "like." Last week, Kate came over for dinner and...

[2 min read; new episode] Not my finest moment, but true story: Years ago, I briefly considered a job selling paper. This was not some sophisticated literary product or elegant stationery set. It was actual reams of copy paper. 😳 The “training” involved a bunch of twenty-something dudes in cheap suits, group chants, jumping (yes.), and loudly celebrating how much paper team-members had sold. When I tell you I thought about jumping out the fire escape... I remember thinking: If THIS is sales,...

Dear Reader, I've been hinting for weeks about a new space to practice sales. Before I kick off the first group session on Monday, October 5th, I wanted to make a few things clear to people. Over the past year, I’ve 3x’d my income while working considerably less than in the past. I did it without a lot of hustle, endless content, or the constant creation cycle most people think is required. You have not seen me host back-to-back launches. I'm not stacking a dozen new offers. And I'm...

Happy Sunday Reader! Reporting in from the middle of the Nor'easter hitting the Boston coast-line, while visiting family. The winds and rain are pretty intense slapping against the windows, but truthfully, I stayed in my jammies, curled up with a coffee, and wrote in my journal for over an hour this morning, which was precisely what I needed. As I'm prepping for the week ahead, I've been thinking about why we do or don't feel safe to make sales in our businesses. The last 3 episodes of my...

By now, you probably KNOW that tonight is my free Solopreneur Sales System masterclass. 😂 And if you've ever felt afraid to ask someone to buy your thing, this is a room you'll appreciate being in. We're going to break down the steps to simplify our work and take a look at what might be holding you back from making quantum leaps in your business. Here's a hint about one common challenge we'll tackle: It's easy to diagnose fear as a lack of strategy. As a musician, I know there's a point...

Reader, there was a time when I genuinely believed I was bad at gardening. I’d plant something. It would die. Plant something else. Bugs would eat it. Grow a beautiful tomato plant and somehow get approximately three tomatoes. 😂 Meanwhile, my neighbors would just casually throw seeds at the ground and come back six weeks later to a farmer’s market. Eventually, I realized: I wasn’t bad at gardening.I just didn’t know how to garden yet. 👀 I was treating every disappointing result like evidence...

There are many things I miss about the early days of building a business. Most notably that delusional phase of dreaming, scheming and tons of "OMG, what if we did THIS?!" I would live in that phase forever if that alone would pay my rent and buy my groceries. But eventually every business demands that you answer a much less sexy question: Are we actually doing this or not? 😳 Eventually the beautiful ideas have to become offers. And you have to look another human being in the eye...
