We couldn't be happier to launch Gretchen's new author website today. ✨

This is more than just a website; it's a safe space with mental health resources, a home for Gretchen's upcoming series, and a place that invites raw, honest conversations about ANYTHING you're struggling with.

We have poured our hearts into creating a place that feels like a warm hug and invites raw, honest conversation with a friend who gets it.

I’m currently booked solid into about March 2026 for website design services & branding.

However, I am open for two social media clients but my prices are increasing in 2026 as the cost of business has been going up too 😞

So, if you want to get on the books, secure your timeline, or ditch your social media from your to-do list while still keeping 2025 prices, reach out now.

Meanwhile, I’ll just be over here taking in the views from my home office 🫶🏻

We're hitting on one of the biggest shifts happening in digital marketing right now.

Google's AI Overviews and similar features are disrupting traditional SEO, but it's more of an evolution than a complete elimination.

How AI summaries are changing the game:

👉 Zero-click searches are increasing - people get answers without visiting websites
👉 Traditional ranking positions matter less when AI pulls from multiple sources
👉 Brand authority and content quality matter more than keyword optimization tricks

Do you have a plan to future-proof your website?

Is it okay to become friends with your clients?

I've never been a 'traditional' business owner. Maybe I haven't always prioritized making money over building connections and an authentic brand. But, I think that's what makes The Sparrow Collective what it is.

I don't ever have a desire to run a huge corporation and follow 'traditional' rules.

So, do I think it's appropriate? Y.E.S.
More than that, I think it's a part of my business, and one of my favorite parts.

Have you seen the headlines talking about mass layoffs due to AI?

For a moment, I paused with a bit of fear, wondering if people will begin to decide to use more AI instead of hiring real people like me.

But then I reminded myself, that you'd have to be willing to give up your likeness in photos, your original artwork, the book you took so long to write, or even the logo you had created for your business.

EVERY TIME you pop something into AI - you no longer own it.

Are you willing to take on these risks?

Does anyone else feel like it's hard to go on with business as usual right now?

I'm struggling to post content about creating social media content and designing websites when the world feels so scary and heavy.

So, while you may see 'normal' business - know that if you feel this way you're not alone.

I've always been really proud of being authentic, kind, compassionate, and understanding as a business owner.

Where many would cut someone off immediately, I try to show patience and understanding first.

It's the kind of business that makes me proud.

But, now I'm having to set aside those things I stand on because someone took advantage of those very values that are the bedrock of my business.

I've emailed at least 15 times.
Resent the invoice at least 10 times.
Send a cancellation contract (ignored).

The frustrated part of me wants to use their socials as hostage. 😆 But, that's also not the person I am.

So person to person.
Give me your advice. 👇

Since this is the month of vibrant colors, it felt like the perfect time to talk about my biggest website pet peeve... 😤

If I can't read your website, I'm clicking away faster than you can say 'bounce rate'!

Here's the brutal truth: I see SO many beautiful websites that are completely unreadable because someone chose 'aesthetic' over accessibility.

Your website needs to work for EVERYONE - including the 1 in 12 people with color vision differences, people using screen readers, folks with dyslexia, and literally anyone trying to read your content on a sunny day! 📱☀️

P.S. - If you're looking at your website right now and cringing... DM us 'CONTRAST' and let's fix this together! No judgment, just better design! 💌

Let's talk about the elephant in the room 🐘

Politics and business social media - it's messy, it's complicated, and everyone has an opinion about how you should handle it.

Here's my take: There's no one-size-fits-all approach. Some businesses thrive by taking strong stances, others build loyal communities by staying focused on their expertise.

But whatever you do, don't let fear of judgment stop you from being authentic to your brand.
