The past few months have been… a lot. Getting back into a rhythm hasn’t been easy, but I’ve made it a point to spend quiet time with myself—no pressure, just presence. During one of those moments, I picked up The Pivot Year by Brianna Wiest (still one of my all-time favourites). I wasn’t looking for anything specific—I just opened it—and landed on Day 231. Where she writes: “Sometimes, when it seems like you are falling behind with the outside world, you are actually coming into alignment...

This weekend I officially cracked. I had to open every window in the house, light my nerdiest floral-scented candle, and pretend I wasn’t still wearing fuzzy socks. Even though it was snowing, spring fever hit hard — and honestly, I don’t hate it. It got me thinking: doesn’t spring kind of feel like nature’s version of a reset button? Everything’s waking up, stretching out, and getting ready to grow. Kinda like us and our businesses, right? Are you feeling it too? I’d love to hear — are you...

Your Weekly Newsletter Designed for Quiet, Intentional Entrepreneurs Who Want to Succeed—Without Burnout. Today’s email is hitting your inbox a tad later than usual. That’s because I’m exhausted—plum-pooped, if you will. Yesterday, I spent 4.5 hours at the Calgary Economic Development Report to the Community. It was an afternoon with industry leaders talking about how to boost and drive economic growth in the city. There were keynote speakers, a panel, and networking.Ohhh, so much networking....

Last week, Kelly introduced me to the latest online trend, and I now consider my official new life hack: I ask ChatGPT to act like my drunk bestie and describe what I do for a living. Yep.It’s ridiculous.It’s glorious.And it’s weirdly accurate. Because sometimes you just need someone (even if they’re a sober robot) to grab your hand across the metaphorical wine bar and say: “Babe. You’re not just running a business—you’re building a damn empire.” Wanna see what she said about me? 👉🏻 Click...

Monday already? I know. But before you roll your eyes at another “just think positive!” pep talk—stick with me. You’ve probably heard the phrase: Positive mind. Positive vibes. Positive life. Sounds nice, right? But let’s be real—thinking happy thoughts isn’t some magic wand that fixes a tough client, slow sales, or the fact that your coffee went cold before you even got a sip. (I love a good iced coffee, but only when it’s meant to be iced… ya know?) Here’s what does work: using positivity...

Your Weekly Newsletter Designed for Quiet, Intentional Entrepreneurs Who Want to Succeed—Without Burnout. I am going to say it…If you hate social media, you’re not broken—you’re just normal. Seriously. The constant pressure to post, perform, and pretend you’re “booked out” is exhausting-even for extroverts. But for introverted entrepreneurs? It’s the fast track to burnout, self-doubt, and wondering if you should just sell handmade candles instead (I see you). The good news? You don’t need to...

Hey, you know that voice in your head? The one saying you’re not ready or you don’t have what it takes? It’s lying. It’s not time, skill, or talent holding you back—it’s the story you keep telling yourself. But stories can be rewritten. ✨ Instead of “I don’t have enough experience,” try “Every expert started as a beginner.”✨ Instead of “What if I fail?” try “What if I don’t?” This week, catch yourself in self-doubt. Rewrite the story. Take one small action that proves your new belief. You in?...

Your Weekly Newsletter Designed for Quiet, Intentional Entrepreneurs Who Want to Succeed—Without Burnout. As an introvert, showing up online can feel like agreeing to run a marathon… when you hate running. You know you “should” post more, be more visible, share more personal stories, engage more on social media, yada yada, etc etc... But at what cost? Your energy? Your sanity? Your ability to function as a normal human? The problem isn’t that you don’t want to be seen. It’s that the way most...

“Nothing I say this day will teach me anything. So if I’m going to learn, I must do it by listening.” – Larry King Larry King interviewed everyone and still knew the real magic wasn’t in talking—it was in listening. As introverts, we get this. But are we choosing to listen to the right voices? With so much noise out there, it’s easy to absorb advice that doesn’t align. Today, be intentional. Tune into something that truly inspires you—a book, a podcast, a TED Talk. And if you find something...
