Delegating is hard.

All businesses face uncertainty. That's never going away.

My work with clients is shifting. Aducate really started out as a design business. I was supposed to be making logos for people! And that slowly evolved into reports and strategies…that sat in drawers unused.

These things don’t fix the root problem.

I’ve found that people actually want self-trust and confidence. All businesses face uncertainty, that’s not ever going to go away.

But, you can change the way you react to uncertainty. And that’s where my work is headed.
I help entrepreneurs untangle their identity from the outcome so that the stakes change. You’re no longer risking who you are every time you make a decision.

You get more grounded in the why that you’re walking toward. Any path chosen with intention becomes valid.

And that's what I'm building with every client.

How has your business shifted from when it first started?

Today was a much-needed Studio Day.


Was heading out the door for a client shoot when I got a text asking to reschedule. Rather than filling the day in with other junk, I looked at my studio and took the hint.


Making things with my hands and without a deliverable attached is part of how I show up for the people I work with. It fills something back up that client work draws from.

You don't need a business plan.

A business plan is a funding document. If you're not walking into a bank, you don't need one yet.

What you need is clarity on your next move and a room full of people who actually get it.

You can't have a healthy business without a healthy human.

I keep meeting people who are doing everything right on paper. They show up to the workshops and leave with a full notebook. Then they go home and try to implement, but it just doesn't translate. And sadly, the conclusion most of them reach is that something must be wrong with them.

The problem is that most business advice was built for someone who wants to scale, who is motivated primarily by revenue, and who is comfortable separating who they are from what they do.

Not everyone fits that profile. So, it makes sense they struggle to translate the information. But rather than questioning the framework, they continue to hunt for an elusive answer, and blame themselves.

And, that’s bums me out, man.

How do you take what you know and convert it into a clear decision under your actual pressures, with your actual capacity, given who you are actually trying to be?

That's the question most frameworks skip entirely.

If you've ever sat in a room full of business advice and felt like it was written for someone else, it probably was. That's not a you problem. That's a design problem.

And, boy, do I get being tired of the performative masking.

I wrote a blog about all this. There’s a link in the bio if you want to read more.

Check out the May event line up.

We are excited to participate in the Small Business Resource fair, hosted by ECDI and the Women’s Business Center of Northeast Ohio. This event will be held at Akron Summit Public Library on May 6. This one-day event is designed to connect entrepreneurs and small business owners with the tools, relationships, and opportunities they need to grow. We are one of many organizations that will be present to share resources.

On May 12, we’re hosting our next interactive lab at Bounce Innovation Hub. Sales is the art of helping people feel seen, understood, and supported, by you. We’ll work through creative exercises that strengthen your communication skills, an ultimately your sales process.

With the other event opportunities this month, we’ll host an End the Day Come Play event on May 27, and plan to get back to our regular weekly schedule in June.

Open Strategy Lab - May 28. These are 1-hour group sessions for when something feels off, and you can’t quite name it yet. Before you make a big move (like quitting or launching a business), come investigate that restless feeling. Early Bird $30 and General Admission at $35.

And as always, our Action Hours and Office Hours are available on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Learn more about those sessions here:

You do good work. You know it. So why do promising conversations with prospects stall, go quiet, or just…not convert?

Most of the time, it’s not your services, products, or pricing. It’s not even your sales pitch.

It’s a communication mismatch. And it’s more fixable than you think.

Join us on May 12, 2026 at Bounce Innovation Hub for a 60-minute hands-on lab that reveals how you communicate under pressure, where you lean on assumptions, and what your prospects are experiencing on the other side of the pitch.

All materials are included. Just bring yourself.

Early Bird: $45
General Admission: $55

Something I kept noticing: the people who needed help the most weren't always the ones who could tell me what was wrong.

They knew something felt off. They were restless and circling, maybe doom-scrolling or watching other people make bold moves and wondering if they should be doing the same. But they couldn't name it yet.

My interactive labs are designed for people who've already identified the problem and are ready to address it head on. But what about the people who aren't there yet?

So, I’m offering Open Strategy Labs.

It's a small group, drop-in space (limited to 6 people) designed for the moment before the moment. I don't provide a formal facilitation and there's no expectation that you arrive with clarity. You bring whatever is on your mind, and I help you investigate it. What I do provide is structured time to slow down and investigate what's actually going on.

I'll be there to help you look.

First session: April 23 at Bounce Innovation Hub in Akron. Link in bio to grab your spot.
