I help online business owners clean up the behind-the-scenes systems that support their marketing, sales, content, and client experience so their business feels easier to manage one practical workflow at a time.

I’m icing my back while writing this

Hey Reader, I’ve been with my hubby for ten years this year, and there is one weekend every year where I already KNOW he will be glued to the TV. Masters weekend. At first, I used to think this whole event was kind of silly. But over time, I started loving it too. There’s just something about it that feels different from everything else we watch now. People are actually there with it. Not half-watching while scrolling. Not looking down every few seconds at another screen. And this past...

When the “helpful” thing becomes extra work

Hey Reader, Lately I’ve been getting SO frustrated with our kitchen Alexa. Which is kind of ridiculous when you think about it, because we bought it to make life easier, right?! Set a timer while I’m cooking. Play the one playlist I always listen to when I'm cooking or putting away the dishes. Handle the tiny stuff so my brain doesn’t have to. Very basic expectations for what this smart device is designed to do. And yet lately it’s been glitching so bad. Not setting timers when I ask. Not...

I was dreading the backend work after

Hey Reader, I hit a point where every time I published something new in The Systems Library, I already knew there were fifteen little backend things waiting for me after. Not hard things. Just annoying little things. And those are the ones that start to wear on me the fastest. Because it’s never really about the task itself. It’s about that feeling of knowing every new thing you create comes with extra upkeep attached to it. That was the point I hit inside The Systems Library. I wasn’t...

I thought long-form content would be the answer...

Hey Reader, Back in 2020, I took a marketing personality quiz. And the result said my best marketing style would be long-form, SEO-driven content. At the time, I did not want to believe it. Because in my head, long-form content felt like the boring option. It takes SO much longer to create. There’s no instant gratification for my dopamine-seeking ADHD brain (you know... that feeling where you need to know if your content is performing well right now, not six months from now). And when social...

The money leak in most online businesses

Hey Reader, Can we talk about something that quietly drains time, money, and energy from a lot of business owners? Tech. When I first started my business, I thought I needed a big, shiny tech stack to be successful. Every guru I followed kept pushing “must-have” platforms with big promises attached to them. So I signed up for tools that didn’t match the stage of business I was in. I bought software because someone said it was essential. And guess what? Most of those things didn’t make my...

The online business trap

Hey Reader, When I stepped foot into the online space six years ago, I was amazed at how ANYONE could just… start making money on the internet. No storefront or huge overhead costs. Just buy a domain, post something on social, tell the people in your life what you’re doing, register your business, set up a way to take payment, and voila! You’re officially in business. But once you’re actually running things, you realize that EVERYTHING behind the scenes relies on tech. How people find you,...

premium level systems that doesn't break the bank

Hey Reader, We are TWO days away from welcoming the founding members into The Systems Library and today I want to talk about money. Because honestly, I challenge you to find a membership of this caliber at this price point. So let’s get right to it! The Systems Library will be 15 dollars a month. Founding members will get in at an even lower price during the first 48 hours. Now you might be wondering how something so affordable can still be valuable. Let me explain. *clears throat* I wanted...

T minus 3 days

Hey Reader, We are THREE days away from welcoming the founding members into The Systems Library… Will that be you? 👀 You’ve probably received a lot of emails over the last two weeks for Black Friday and Cyber Monday, so here’s a quick refresher. The Systems Library is a weekly workflow membership that gives you practical, simple upgrades for your backend without long, drawn-out courses or a four-figure price tag. Every workflow focuses on things like: Improving client experience Supporting...

A sneak peek at what’s coming on Dec 7.

Hey Reader, I just wrapped up batch-recording a handful of the workflows that will be inside The Systems Library, and I’m so excited for you to see them. These are the same behind-the-scenes workflows I use to simplify client delivery, keep my ideas organized, and save hours every week… and this is only the beginning. Since you're already on the Insiders List, you’re set. A quick heads-up though — I’m only opening the doors to 50 members for the initial launch on December 7th so I can make...

throwing out the rule book

Hey Reader, I feel like I’m going through a bit of an identity crisis 😅 I don’t even know if that’s the right phrase, but it’s the only one that feels close. Recently, my hubby and I decided to pull my 3-year-old out of daycare so we can spend more time with him before he starts pre-K next fall. The timing lined up because my husband just landed a new job (with higher pay), which puts me in a very privileged position to not have to work full-time in my business right now. I still have...
