Hey Reader, Let’s get straight to it. This is a long one, but it is definitely worth a read if you have a business that matters to you and you don’t want to get sued, or your brand stolen. I’m done. And I'm tired of seeing it! In the last month I’ve talked to entrepreneurs and digital creators that: 1. unknowingly signed away all of their intellectual property rights and now can’t appear in other more lucrative spaces doing what they love to do, or under their brand; 2. someone’s brand name...

Happy June, Visionaries! ☀️ Okay. It’s official. I’m in summer mode. And while I'd love to take the summer off, I’m a ways off from being work-optional (goals). So, in the meantime, I’m going to at least have some fun with my business and concentrate on doing things that bring me joy as well as revenue. It’s my version of prioritizing my well-being while also being able to pay for these summer gas prices. (Can’t even catch a break at Costco now?) Sooooooo, what am I planning on getting into...

Happy Monday Reader! Mondays have a way of setting the tone—sometimes it's grind and ambition, sometimes it's catch-up mode, and sometimes it's a quiet nudge reminding us to take care of what really matters. Here’s your nudge for today: Protecting your peace often starts with protecting your business. I am queen of saying legal protection is a form of self care. When your brand is unprotected—when your name, your content, your offers, your creative work are floating out in the world without...

Hello Reader, How Awesome Were You This Week? No seriously—how awesome were you? I sent FIVE emails this week. Five. Not part of a challenge, or a topic series. Just because I’m in this season of deep commitment and I wanted to make sure you had the resources and reminders to not just get through things, but to actually thrive and flourish—even when the world feels like it’s doing the most. I’m proud of that. Will I do it again next week? Eh, TBD. But this week? We did that. Now it’s your...

Hello Reader, If you’ve been creating, building, and putting your brilliance into the world, here’s a truth you can’t afford to ignore: what you create deserves to be protected. Everyone knows I love AI, but I love to talk about and protect IP more. (It’s the IP attorney in me 😉) And for sure, my goal is to help you navigate this crazy market uncertainty and thrive and flourish like never before. Should I continue with sharing that I also want you to do it all while prioritizing your...

Hello Reader, Happy Monday! ☀️ I don’t know who needs this today, but I have a feeling it might be both of us. I’m not even going to lie. I got overwhelmed a couple of times these past few days. A run usually helps, but I couldn’t even get my mind right to do the one thing that usually grounds me. So, I just wanted to reach out for a moment. There’s a lot happening in the world right now. The kind of uncertainty that makes you stop mid-thought and wonder, “Am I really going to be okay?” If...

Hello Reader, Happy April! 🌸 I hope this month brings you clarity, bold decisions, and the kind of peace that only comes when you're building something that truly aligns with who you are. As we step into a new quarter, I’m leaning even deeper into supporting business owners who are ready to stay in the game, lead with intention, and grow with strategy—even if they're building solo. Because I’m here to tell you: You don’t need a massive team or a dozen locations to create impact, income, and...
