Hey YOU! Tired of business advice that doesn't feel like...YOU? This newsletter is your permission slip to build your business on your own terms...let's dive in! I hope you all enjoyed the Halloween festivities last week and are maybe now shifting into cozy mode, possibly with a few festive twinkle lights already out (no shame here).

Hey YOU! Tired of business advice that doesn't feel like...YOU? This newsletter is your permission slip to build your business on your own terms...let's dive in! The last few weeks have been so busy in our house, with lots of rep hockey and schedule chaos (but what else is new?!). I feel like I'm finally coming out of a bit of an iffy energy stretch, where everything was feeling like it took more effort than usual. This little bump in the road led me to finally finding a new therapist. YAY!...

Hey YOU! Tired of business advice that doesn't feel like...YOU? This newsletter is your permission slip to build your business on your own terms...let's dive in! First off, can we have a *moment* for my new brand photos by Sisterhood Photography (peep the cute cover photo)!

That said... oof, the process is no joke....

Hey YOU! Tired of business advice that doesn't feel like...YOU? This newsletter is your permission slip to build your business on your own terms...let's dive in!

And working with them led me towards my business name change and doing...

Hey YOU! Tired of business advice that doesn't feel like...YOU? This newsletter is your permission slip to build your business on your own terms...let's dive in!

Hey Bootstrapper, Tired of business advice that doesn't feel like...YOU? This newsletter is your permission slip to build your business on your own terms...let's dive in! So, I just got back from a whirlwind family vacationāthe kind where youāre Googling ākid-friendly pubsā while passing snacks to the back seat, while hubby is driving on the wrong left side of the road and wondering why you thought this would be the thing to ārechargeā you. š It wasnāt a chill, beachy kind of rest. It was a...

Hey Bootstrapper, Tired of business advice that doesn't feel like...YOU? This newsletter is your permission slip to build your business on your own terms...let's dive in! Last month, we talked about unlearning urgency and tuning out advice that was never meant for you (if you missed that email, check it out here!). As you read this, I'm in the middle of my Scotland vacation. I didn't finish my home renovation before we left, like I planned. I didn't finish transitioning my business model,...

Hey Bootstrapper, Tired of business advice that doesn't feel like...YOU? This newsletter is your permission slip to build your business on your own terms...let's dive in! It feels like it's been a minute, hasn't it?! But like seriously...going back to monthly emails was a great decision for me and my ebb and flowing energy levels.

Hey Bootstrapper, Each month, I deliver a fresh, feminist-inspired, creative marketing email to your inbox...let's dive in! I wanted to let you know that I'm going to be going back to monthly emails while I make a small pivot back to...well...myself.Let me explain...

Sometimes it's not a bad thing...
