IN A COMPETITIVE FIELD WITH 85% FAILURE RATE, LET’S MAKE SURE YOU SUCCEED.

I started my business from scratch: but YOU don’t have to! | Mentoring starts at $200/hr

Let’s Learn Cool Things Together!

I really wish I had done mentoring with someone who knew what they were doing. In the first 4 years I went through 4 different websites, and spent thousands on SEO experts that did nothing for my organic search reach. I had no-one I could trust. Through failure I’ve found success. I’ve also continually grown my business while working on my own terms around my family, spending summers with my kids and even starting a nonprofit.

If you are looking to take your business to the next level – I have a basic business in a box that gets you brand assets, a basic Square space website, keyword research, all google business (console, analytics ect.) set up AND BRAND photography all for one cost!

P.S. My best year was 2025 and it was the year decided to homeschool my AuADHD and ADHD kiddos. It’s all about consistency and workflows. My numbers don’t lie, I believe in community over competition and I want you to succed too.
