It’s the season for planting seeds 🌱

Yes, in a literal sense, but also in your biz.

Winter is a tough season for a lot of us, and when the sun and warmth finally reemerge, it can bring a boost of energy (& maybe even hope, on a good day).

So what seeds are you planting for future you right now?

What do you need to today to ensure your summer and fall are fruitful?

The reality is that most dreams are brought to life by seemingly mundane and routine tasks over time. It’s unsexy work.

But if you want to create change in your life, your biz, and even the world, it starts with taking action today.

Even if it seems impossibly tiny or insignificant, you must start.

If you want to plant seeds of change this season, be sure to come to the free Branding for Social Change workshop and community discussion on 4/14 @ 12pm ET. Replay will be sent.

And if you’re planting physical seeds in a garden or patio pot, please tell me what you’re most excited about growing this year! I’ll put my answer in the comments too!

Need a space to decompress from the inauguration? Want to meet other socially conscious biz owners?

Clubhouse Connection Hour is back—a free networking call for values-led folks who want to talk to other like-minded humans without the pitch-a-palooza.

The last call we did in September was a huge hit, with folks eagerly asking for another so here we are! The next connection hour for values-led, q***r, neurodivergent, playful and/or status-quo-hating entrepreneurs is on Friday, January 24 @ 12pm ET.

Here’s how you can you join us:
• Pay $10 for a ticket (all proceeds donated to World Central Kitchen who is providing meals to those impacted by the California wild fires)
• Bring 1 friend to the live event with you
• Share this post to your stories or on Threads 2x before the event & include the sign up 🔗

Choose whatever feels most accessible to you, and we’ll see you on the Friday!

PS: This format allows me to continue to hold this space for such incredible humans without runnjng myself ragged trying to do all the promoting myself. I’m very much in a season of practicing presence to avoid going down that path again, and I appreciate y’all making it a reality by supporting events and structures like this.

Let me know what you think of the structure in the comments!

I also hope this structure continues to inspire folks to think about business beyond what we’ve seen done by others. There is room for experimentation and play when we make it. And if you love this structure, please, by all means, adapt it for your communities as well. We all grow together 💖

The Clichés to Connection workshop on Monday is for entrepreneurs who are ready to ditch the generic client profiles and get real about who their dream clients are—without relying on problematic stereotypes or cookie-cutter avatars.

It’s time to build a brand that honors the humanity of your clients (and yourself) and feels good to show up for. 💖

This workshop is FOR YOU RIGHT NOW if you...

✴️ Are tired of feeling like the branding advice you see doesn’t take into account your unique approach to business or the clients you actually want to serve ✨

✴️ Have a general understanding of who your dream clients are but have absolutely no clue where to find them 🤔

✴️ Have a brand but struggle to connect it to your dream clients in a way that feels genuine and actually gets the results you want ✨

✴️ Are ready to build a brand that truly honors your clients as humans, not just consumers 💡

✴️ Are done with one-size-fits-all approaches and want to break free from outdated marketing advice that doesn’t resonate with your values ⚡️

✴️ Are interested in dismantling internalized racism, capitalism and hustle culture (seriously, if this doesn’t resonate with you, you won’t enjoy my style) ⚡️

Grab your spot for this free workshop and start connecting with the clients you actually wanna work with! (Who knows, you might even meet them during the networking part of the workshop!) 🎉

✨BEST OF 2024✨ (This one seemed ESPECIALLY fitting since I know A LOT of us are seeing all the perfectly polished end-of-year posts right now 💗)

Social media is the tip of the iceberg in your biz.

Usually what lies beneath the surface is a mix between the good, the bad, and the downright ugly 😰

So many folks get caught in a comparison game when really, what we’re seeing isn’t even reality to begin with.

So stop holding yourself to some impossible standard and letting it keep you from showing up as your whole ass self.

You are doing great. Keep going 💖

Feel free to screenshot the last slide and use it as a template to create your own version of this post and tag me so I can give you some love!

Your brand is where you land 💖

MOST things in biz are in a constant state of change:

🦗The marketing that used to work now gets crickets

🎢 Trends go in and out of style & it’s hard to keep up

📉 The needs of your dream clients shift over time

👯‍♀️ Who your dream clients even are can change too

The hardest part of being an entrepreneur is holding on your ability to adapt to constant change. AND one thing I know for sure is that having a rock solid brand is what keeps me and my clients grounded through it all.

If you know who you are, what you stand for, and why the work you do is the no-duh solution for your dream clients, all that other noise is easier to tune out.

That’s what I mean when I say your brand is where you land. When everything else feels like a turbulent typhoon, your branding is what keeps you tethered because it’s a constant.

If you are ready for branding that keeps you anchored and attracts more dream clients, I’ve got good news!

1. I’m accepting new done for you branding clients so if you’re ready to get branding off your to-do list once and for all, let’s chat 💌

2. If you want to prioritize your branding in 2025 but aren’t sure where to start, join me at my free upcoming workshop, Cliches to Connection, where you’ll learn how to figure out who your dream clients are and where to find more of them (without relying on problematic stereotypes or boring avatars).

You know where to find details for both 💖

(Also, how cute is this little book nook?! Such a vibe ✨)

The lesson I learned from paper towels…

Have you ever seen more confusing messaging than paper towel and toilet paper packaging?

6 mega rolls equals 24 regular rolls!!

10 super size rolls = 100 normal rolls!!

Mega supersize double absorbant flexfold choose-your-own-size sheet rolls!!

All jokes aside this honestly how much most of us sound when we show up to market our work 🙈

It’s easy to get hung up on the details, the structure, and the insider language of our industry because this is how WE as the biz owners are thinking about our offers.

Meanwhile, our dream clients are scratching their heads trying to decipher what any of it means. Does your client actually me 6 rolls the equivalent of 24 rolls or do they need something that will soak up accidents from your new puppy without falling apart?

Do they really need 12 group coaching calls or do they need space to unpack the ways internalized hustle culture is sabotaging their success so they can reassess if they’re actually building a sustainable biz for them?

The secret to doing this well?

You have to know EXACTLY who you’re talking to in the first place. If you’re ready to do a deep dive on your dream clients without relying on boring avatars or problematic stereotyping, join us at my free workshop on 1/13! You know how to join!

It’s been a minute since I did an introduction (like years 🤣🤪), so hi! Hello! I’m Kristy (she/they), and I help heart-led entrepreneurs become greater catalysts for change through values-based branding. I do this through Done-For-You brand strategy and design, VIP days, and my group program Brand Camp.

But enough about my work, here’s who I am as a human:

🦮 I have the personality of a golden retriever. I love getting out, making friends, and hyping others up.

🐾 My spouse and I have 2 rescue dogs—Avery & Oskar. Both named after Colorado breweries 🍻

📚 I’m a sucker for a good science fiction book. There’s something so liberatory about entering imagined worlds and dreaming beyond the every day.

♟️I’m probably nerdier than you might imagine 😂 I’m a big fan of board games, Dungeons & Dragons, and video games!

🎷 I was in ska band in high school and still listen to like, a lot ska by 2024 standards 😂 I was also in marching band lol.

🔪 I love horror movies and books. My dad read me Stephen King books as bed times stories (don’t worry, he paraphrased and kid-ifed the extra gruesome bits 😂)

🪦 I’ve had 2 near death experiences and I really do think they’ve profoundly shaped my outlook on life.

✨ I believe a better world is possible and through community, disruption, and commitment, we can bring it to life. (And those of us holding privilege need to put it on the line if we ever want true liberatory change.)

🌻 I love the Denver Botanic Gardens and being in nature (but please don’t ask me to wake up at 3am for a hike—I’m not that kind of nature person lol)

🌈 Priotizing joy is a radical act.

🧀 I’m from the Midwest (Chicago suburbs, then lived just outside of Milwaukee) and now live in Colorado.

🍲 I love soup so much is almost comical at this point 😆

What things do we have in common? If we haven’t officially met yet, please comment below so we can hit it off! 💖✨
