So… our big spring work plans?


Hey Reader,

I had big plans for this spring.

My husband and I were going to get ahead and get some things done. Maybe even start a little side project with the kids. You know, be super productive and all that.

But you wanna know what actually happened?

The kids just wanted to play.

Like, every day.

And to be completely honest… we kind of did too.

I kept thinking, “Okay, we’ll buckle down tomorrow.” But tomorrow came, and it was just too beautiful outside to be inside working. And yesterday it hit me—we’re already a third of the way through June, and I’ve barely touched my to-do list.

At first, I felt bad. Like I was letting my goals slip. But then I took a step back and remembered that this right here is the life I used to pray for.

Over ten years ago, I was dragging myself out of bed every morning, holding back tears as I got ready for another long day in a stuffy office. I remember staring out the window at work, watching the summer fly by without me. Two weeks of vacation for an entire year didn’t even scratch the surface of what I needed.

So no—I’m not going to beat myself up for enjoying slow mornings, evening campfires, or spontaneous park days with my family. I’m going to be grateful that I get to do this now. I am forever thankful that I get to choose how I spend my time.

If you’re still in that place—working nonstop, stuck in someone else’s schedule, feeling like there’s never any time for you—I just want you to know that you don’t have to stay there.

I thought that was my only option too, but it wasn’t. And it’s not yours either.

I’ve got some free resources to help you start shifting things, even if it’s just a baby step. You in? Start with the one that stands out to you the most:

Hey Reader, Something I’ve told myself over and over again is that owning a business is hard—but it’s worth it. Some months are incredible. Sales come in steadily, ideas flow, and everything clicks. Then the next month rolls around and suddenly, it feels like everything slows to a crawl. People are quieter. Engagement drops. Income dips. And it’s easy to start second guessing everything. I’ve been through that enough times to know now—it’s just part of the rhythm. This time of year...

Hey Reader, July was, honestly, one of the craziest months I’ve had in a long time. In a good way. Actually, in an amazing way. Thanks to this amazing all-in-one program, income topped $30,000+, which is something I haven’t seen in over two years. I stared at that final number and just felt this wave of disbelief. We’re back. It’s happening. I should have been dancing around the living room, popping sparkling cider, and feeling some sort of way (ecstatic? successful? grateful? All of the...

Hey Reader, I’m currently on vacation with my family—real, unplugged time, playing games, visiting the beach and pool, and doing my best to sleep in and dodge chaos. It's so neat because while I’ve been off living the mom life, my business has still been bringing in money. Like, thousands of dollars. And I’ve worked maybe an hour, total, in the last week. Sounds crazy, right? But it’s real. And honestly, this method is both super simple and scalable. Over the past two months, I’ve hit $14,000...
