Remember when we talked about not overthinking social in the last post, and I mentioned that my energy for strategic IG is being replaced in my business? Let’s talk about it. IG is tough.

I’ve noticed lately that in every Discovery call, when I ask the potential client to ‘brain dump’ why they reached out, they do just that, then end it with ‘I don’t think I’m making any sense’. That’s exactly why we’re here. My job is literally to make it make sense. We don’t expect (or want […]

Case Study: Ashleigh Amber Moore Jewelry

I was introduced to Ashleigh through our friend Francesca of @outsidetheshape – tbh, a founding place for many of my YYC business relationships.

2022 Year In Review

READ ON

It looks like this year’s trend is sharing our stats – the good, bad, and ugly. We’re normalizing less income, and prioritizing meaningful work-life balance.
