"Just get something up for now."

Great advice! Right up until "for now" becomes the official face of your business for three years.

I took that advice. I wasn't even a website designer when I built my first website. I was designing social media graphics. So I threw one together over a weekend, powered entirely by Diet Coke and a level of confidence I have not felt since. It was fine. It was FINE. And fine was the whole problem, because my business outgrew it long before I was willing to admit it.

A website doesn't break. It just slowly stops matching you. You keep booking clients. You keep getting better at what you do. And the site just... stays. So you start apologizing for it. In DMs. At networking events. In your own head every single time someone asks for the link.

That little mental asterisk is the tell.

And the fix usually isn't another font, another palette off Pinterest, or another late-night rebuild. It's deciding who you're for and what you're selling BEFORE anything gets designed. Pretty is step two. (Still very important. Just second.)

So watch the reel and tell me your stage in the comments. I'll go first: I lived at stage two for longer than I'd like to admit on the internet.

P.S. If you're reading this from stage three, a Power Hour is basically a Frankenbrand intervention. Link in bio.

Your website might be costing you clients right now, and you’d never even know it.

That’s the scary part. A bad ad, you notice. A logo you hate, you notice. But a website that isn’t converting fails you in total silence. There’s no error message. Nobody emails to say “I almost booked you, and then I didn’t.” They just leave, and you never find out.

And most of the time, it’s not that the site is ugly. Hear that part the most. It’s that the site doesn’t have a job. Someone lands on it and there’s no clear next step, no single thing you actually want them to do. So they do the easiest thing, which is nothing.

The website that actually books people is almost boring in how focused it is. One person. One problem it solves. One obvious next step. That’s the whole idea.

Pretty is nice. But pretty was never the only job. Clear is the job.

And if you’ve been avoiding sending your own link, if you catch yourself typing “ignore the website, it’s a work in progress” every time you share it, that feeling has a name. It’s website shame. And it’s the most common thing I see in women who are really, really good at what they do.

If that’s you, I made you something. My Website Gut Check walks you through exactly where your site is losing people, with a score and clear next steps. Comment WEBSITE CHECKLIST and I’ll send it over.

It’s my birthday 🎉

Another year older, a little wiser, and still deeply obsessed with good branding and websites that actually work.

Every year I try to do something fun to celebrate, and this year it felt right to share the love with the thing I’m most proud of building. My website templates are officially 33% off, because apparently turning 33 deserves a discount.

If you’ve been thinking about refreshing your site, launching something new, or finally upgrading your online presence, this is your sign.

Thanks for being here, cheering me on, and trusting me with your businesses. I don’t take that lightly.

Listen, when I see a client using their brand fonts perfectly across their website, social posts, and emails…

I know they’re not just out here looking cute.
They’re owning their brand like a CEO.

→ With hierarchy that makes sense
→ With spacing that’s easy on the eyes
→ And without a random font swap in sight

And I get weirdly proud about it.

Not because it’s “just fonts.” But because it shows they get it.

That “look at you showing up like a pro” moment?

Yeah. That’s the magic. 💫

Tag yourself. I’m definitely “has 100 ideas but no time” 😂👇
Every solopreneur squad has:
* The one who thinks playing in Canva counts as productivity
* The one who procrastinates then panics (but always pulls it off)
* The one who’s actually organized and it’s kind of intimidating??
* The one with a million brilliant ideas and zero minutes to execute them
Which one are you?! Drop it in the comments & tag your favorite biz bestie who needs to see this 🐓💻✨
(PS: No matter which chicken you are—you’re doing great. Even if you’re panicking. Even if you’re in Canva.)
