✨ Fancy This! launch was every bit as amazing as we hoped.

250 years of American style. One unforgettable day at the Virginia Museum of History and Culture.

Panel talks, stunning design and a room full of people who truly love the art of intentional living.

To the tastemakers, the creatives, and every designer who showed up today - thank you.

What a powerful morning at 💛💙
Spent the last few hours surrounded by ambitious small business owners and big ideas at the IKEA Small Business Event - talks, a fireside chat, networking, raffles, and a whole lot of “let’s keep this conversation going” moments.

Grateful for the chance to share my talk “Be Seen, Be Known: How to Show Up Online So Your Dream Clients Can Find You” with this room of builders, dreamers, and doers. If even one person walked out with a sharper one-line pitch or a date on the calendar to start showing up….mission accomplished. ✨

Huge thanks to Wendy Rogers and the incredible team of IKEA co-workers at Woodbridge for creating a space where small business gets the spotlight it deserves. The care you all put into every detail was felt the moment we walked in.
And small business owners - if you’re not in the IKEA Business Network yet, fix that today. It’s a free loyalty program built for businesses (especially those with under 50 employees), packed with discounts, design services, training, and perks for your people. A real resource, not a sales pitch.

To everyone I met today - keep showing up. Your dream client is out there right now, scrolling, searching, hoping to find someone exactly like you. Make sure they can. 🩷




Launching in Nova/DC soon!!

This is what happens when women get in a room and actually do the thing. 🎬
We came to to talk about elevator pitches and visibility and left with something way better: proof that you already have everything you need to show up.

Michelle helped these incredible women get crystal clear on their message.

Then I asked them to stand in front of a camera and said go.
And they did. Every single one of them.

✨ If today reminded you that your story deserves to be seen — that’s not a coincidence. That’s a sign.

Your message is your most valuable content. And your 30-second pitch? That’s your 24/7 sales rep living in your email signature, your LinkedIn, your website - working while you’re doing everything else.

That’s a wrap on Night to Remember 2026. ✨

From the dance floor to the silent auction to the 50/50 raffle - Richmond showed up Sunday night! A sold-out evening of swing music, chef-prepared dinner, and a room full of people dancing their hearts out for a cause that matters. Every moment, every move, every dollar raised - all in the fight against Alzheimer’s.

Thank you to everyone who attended, supported, and celebrated on that dance floor. You are the reason nights like this exist. 💜

Most women I know are waiting for the perfect moment to be visible.

Spoiler alert - It never comes.

AMP — — fixes that.

Recording content in public should come with a warning label:

We started at Celebration, Florida… and immediately learned the birds had zero respect for our audio.

Moved to Disney Springs before opening… and they started the music early.

Found a quiet bridge… right before a cart rattled across like it was on cue.

Wrapped at East End Market… tired, punchy, and suddenly unable to form basic sentences.

And honestly? I wouldn’t change a thing.

Because this is what creating looks like:
Trying again. And again. Laughing through the interruptions.
Having patience even when the perfect take… isn’t perfect anymore.

Twenty years of friendship, events and creative shenanigans with means we know how to roll with it, keep going, and make the magic anyway.

Here’s to showing up and doing the darn thing.
