My monthly newsletter sent at the end of every month, to stay connected and inspire reflection for creating meaningful work and a purpose-driven business. A backcountry Bali hike that led to these beautiful marigolds 🌼 🤩 Hi Reader, August in Bali is our "winter" in the tropics, which means I've actually been able to spend a lot of days outdoors without melting into a pool of sweat. I've been spending a lot of time hiking and having walking dates with friends to soak up the cool days and...

My monthly newsletter sent at the end of every month, to stay connected and inspire reflection for creating meaningful work and a purpose-driven business. Early morning reflection on my sunrise hike with the perfect view of Mont Blanc. Hi Reader, I just got back from almost four weeks in Europe and it's honestly felt like six trips in one. Every city had a different rhythm, a different version of me, and every single place had someone I love waiting when I got there. After landing in Paris...

My monthly newsletter sent at the end of every month, to stay connected and inspire reflection for creating meaningful work and a purpose-driven business. As a self-proclaimed 'non-artsy' person, I've been loving stretching my creative muscle with cyanotypes! Hi Reader, March felt like a month of making things. 🎙️ 🎨 A podcast finally out in the world.

My monthly newsletter sent at the end of every month, to stay connected and inspire reflection for creating meaningful work and a purpose-driven business. Hi Reader, Hello from Saigon! I've been spending January here in Vietnam, and it's been such a lovely way to start the year in a different city, especially to escape the rainy season in Bali. I also did a REALLY fun thing!

I've been working with solopreneurs for over a decade now, and I want to share a pattern I keep seeing. Someone comes to me feeling stuck or overwhelmed in their business.
