Midway through the year always brings this energy of reflection...
what’s working, what’s shifting, what we want more of!
Lately I’ve been reminded how important it is to stay grounded in the kind of work that truly feels aligned.
When I create from a place of joy, clarity, and trust in the process, that’s when the best connections happen!
That’s when I do my best work.
And honestly? The same goes for you too.
Whether you’re a few years in or just evolving into a new season, now is the perfect time to check in with yourself and your brand.
So this month’s download is all about fresh inspiration, creativity, and the little things that help you show up as your best self, in life AND in business.
Here’s what’s been inspiring me lately (and what might just spark something new for you too)..
Let's get into it!
VOL. 14: Living well = creating well.
Here’s what’s been keeping me inspired, grounded, and excited lately.
1. Creators + feeds that spark bright ideas
Here are a few creators I’ve been loving lately! For mindset shifts, creative energy, and just good vibes.. I'm always watching their videos all the way through or saving their content for later!
2. Podcasts fueling my creativity
3. Tools + Platforms I keep coming back to
Tried and true, these are what keep my creative endeavors running smoothly.
→ Procreate ~ My go to for all things illustration. Truly limitless.. it's such a fun design tool!
→ Honeybook ~ For client projects, proposals, and contracts.... and SO much more. I've been using it for 7 years now and it keeps my business running smoothly. [Use my link for $$ off your subscription!]
→ Kit ~ Great for getting your email marketing started. E-mail marketing has been a game changer for my business. That's what I'm using for this email. ;)
→ Shopify ~ The only platform I use for my clients who sell products (and yes, I can get your sit set up in just a few weeks!)
→ CapCut ~ Easy video edits with sound effects, overlays, and more. This is all I use for video editing.
→ Tezza App ~ For beautiful, easy photo + video editing.. all the aesthetic vibes.
4. Business truth I’m leaning into
The more you share what lights you up, the more people will connect with it.
I thought my crochet content (since I have 10 years of experience) would always be what gets the most traction, but the last couple months?
My new favorite hobby, making beaded necklaces, are the big thing!!
Sometimes the thing that feels like a side hobby happens to be what draws people in most.
So keep creating. Keep sharing. You never know what will resonate!!!
5.Wellness boosts that keep me grounded
- Daily nature walks. ~ It’s where I reset, where my best ideas come to me, and simply stepping away from my desk to move feels so good.
- @nourishmovelove ~ One of my fav YT workout channels. Lindsey is a fellow MN girl and the best quick and effective workouts for busy people!
- Fueling my body, getting my sleep & drinking my water!! It sounds simple, but it’s the foundation of showing up as the best version of myself.. not just in life, but in business too. When I feel good, I create better, think more clearly, and actually enjoy the process!!
6. Your Turn:
Ask yourself these in the month of July:
- What’s working really well in my life right now, and how can I bring more of that energy into my business?
- What would I create this month if I wasn’t focused on outcomes, just joy?
- What would I share if I didn’t overthink it?
If you missed me (and my little stories and biz pep talks), don’t worry...I’ll be back in your inbox this month!!
These are like a little catch up around the creative campfire: a space where we talk big dreams, small goals, and everything in between.
I’m here to cheer you on, remind you of your magic, and help you grow a brand and website that actually feels like you.
If your website’s been sitting on the back burner, your brand doesn’t feel like you anymore, or you’ve been DIY-ing things longer than you planned… you're not alone!
So many creative women I work with are running full lives and incredible businesses, and they just need a little help getting it all to feel aligned again!
You don’t have to do it all yourself.
You can invest in support that helps you show up more clearly, confidently, and with way less stress.
Whether you’ve got a rough idea or you’re ready for a full rebrand, I’m here to help you figure out the next right move.
I gotchuuu girl!
