Your brand should book stages before you open your mouth. is a bestselling author and one of the most electrifying leadership keynote speakers. For over a decade, he has been trusted by Coca-Cola, Chick-fil-A, the NFL, Michelin, and the New York Yankees.

He is the only leadership keynote speaker to have visited all 197 countries and his brand needed to carry that weight.

We worked together to redesign every touch point: the identity, logos, presentation slides, and a website that positions him as the go-to leadership speaker he is. All of it designed to build trust and provide a dynamic experience before he ever gets on a call. We even used his love of F1 to serve as color palette inspiration for an extra personal touch.

This week I lost a piece of my heart. 💔

The thing about terminal illness is you start grieving while the person is still in front of you. You brace for impact… and somehow it still shatters everything. You rush to be there. You find yourself breathing with them as everything slows down.

The last few months have felt like a marathon, and unfortunately, we didn’t reach the outcome we hoped for. My dad passed away peacefully, with me by his side on Tuesday Feb.17th

My daddy was my sounding board. The one I called after every speaking engagement, every hard client email, every big idea. The first to say, “You’ve got this, babygirl.” The loudest cheerleader in the room… even when the room was just our living room and WiFi. He believed in me long before the wins ever came.

Even in his final days, he was still teaching me:
Try your hardest.
Maintain your dignity.
Keep your humor.
Lead with kindness.

Grief is strange. It prepares you and still undoes you.

If you’re waiting on an email from me, thank you for your patience. I’ll be slowly working my way back into my inbox over the next few days.

Thank you for the grace. Hug your people a little tighter today. 🤍

Thinking about buying a Showit template this Black Friday? 👀 Before you click “purchase,” there are a few things you really want to check so you don’t end up with a beautiful but stressful project on your hands.

Here’s what to do before you buy:
• Make sure the template has pages you can grow into — sales pages, podcast pages, portfolio or product pages, freebie pages, and a solid blog layout.
• Do a quick competitor scan so you’re not choosing the same template everyone in your niche is already using.
• Audit the structure (not just the aesthetic). Does the homepage flow well? Are the calls-to-action clear? Does the services page convert?
• Preview the mobile layout — because that’s where most of your traffic will land.

Buying the template is the fun part, customizing it is where most business owners get stuck.

I’ll be sunsetting my template customization services in 2026 — so if you’ve been wanting me to customize a Showit template (even if it’s from another shop), now is the time. ✨ I’m opening a limited number of spots through the beginning of the year.

The album that has us in a chokehold. Yes, Olivia Dean is THAT girl! The Art of Loving is a gorgeous album…but it’s also a masterclass in modern marketing. If you’re craving a softer, more sustainable way to show up online, this post is for you.

After six years of speaking at creative conferences across the country, I’ve learned that the real work often happens after the stage lights fade. ✨

This wasn’t my first time on stage — I’ve been sharing my voice and my ideas for years — but this was my first time teaching about social media. And let me tell you, stepping into that felt equal parts exciting and nerve-wracking.

The older I get, the more I’ve realized that recovery and self-care are just as important as preparation. My post-conference days are slower now: tea in the morning, a little movement to shake off the travel and tension, a massage to let my body catch up, and more tea because… well, self-care. ☕

Would you be interested in hearing more about the topic I shared this year? I’d love to take you behind the scenes.

I can’t believe it’s been six years since my first conference! If someone had told me this is what being a full time entrepreneur would look like at 30 there’s no way I would have believed them. On this sunny Monday in Arizona, I got ready, made content, went to a Speaker lunch, got lots of cute swag, got lots of hugs and had countless strategy chats with people who just get it.

If I could talk to the version of me from last October…I’d tell her that everything’s about to change, most of which will be out of her “Type A” control — and it’s going to be okay.

Here’s what I’ve learned this year:
• Support will come from people you never imagined
• Sunshine and rain can coexist
• Your business will go through a slump — and that’s okay
• Showing up gets harder as life gets harder
• Relationship building is better than any marketing plan

If you’re in a hard season, remember — you don’t have to show up perfectly to still be seen.

💛 Save this as your reminder that grace and growth can coexist.
