It's so much easier to blame a lack of motivation than to take accountability for unfinished word, no?

Understanding that we have the power to CREATE energy and motivation is so empowering! Lately I've been creating motivation through quick yoga sessions or making myself a matcha but when I'm more stressed, it usually looks like cleaning up a bit and taking a shower.

What do you do when you're dragging your feet? How do you create motivation for yourself?

There’s nothing I enjoy more than helping brands step more into their vision, often with photography but now also through business mentoring. I’m always amazing by the absolute fire in my soul after a creative shoot or a dream session with a mentoring client. I can’t stay away!!

I’m so exciting to share some exciting news about my 1:1 Business Mentoring! Stay tuned.👏🏼
You are enough. I just wanted to pop in here toni You are enough.

I just wanted to pop in here tonight to say, you ARE good enough. Your art is enough. Your skills, what you have to offer the world, is enough.

Not only are you good enough, you are the very best person, the only person uniquely qualified to live our your life.

No one knows you better than you. Speak with authority in your life. Speak out your dream and walk towards it. You're the only one who can.
Are you writing out your goals each month? Studie Are you writing out your goals each month?

Studies show that you are 42% more likely to accomplish your goals if you write them down on a regular basis. 

Yep! All that dreaming up and planning you're doing in your head is wonderful but if you aren't writing out your goals and reviewing them regularly, you're getting in your own way!

Write them down in a journal, type them out in the notes app on your phone, OR use them as the background to your laptop or phone! Keeping your goals front and center is such an important part of actually accomplishing them.

I recently shared my desktop template where I write down my goals for each month with my email list. It was so fun to see everyone make it theirs and add their goals!

If you're not on my email list, these are the kinds of fun resources you're missing out on! You can join my email list through the link in my bio!
There’s nothing I love more than hearing from my There’s nothing I love more than hearing from my clients that they are feeling more confident. Because confidence is EVERYTHING! 💪🏼

Here are 3 Ways Confidence Can Help Your Business that you might not be aware of!

1. You'll attract clients instead of having to search for them.

Confidence breads confidence. When you're confident in yourself and your abilities as a business person, people can feel that and that confidence instills trust. If you're confident in your abilities, your clients will be confident in your ability to deliver.

2. You can raise your prices.

When you are lacking experience or confidence in your work, you might keep your prices on the lower end to compensate for your insecurities. I'm a firm believer that there is a season for that and a lesson to learn there BUT, move through it quickly because you want your pricing to reflect your service's value. As you grow your confidence, you'll be able to determine what your true price point should be without insecurities getting in the way. 

3. You'll have the grace needed to allow yourself to grow.

You're going to make mistakes, we all do. If you've build up your business confidence, it will be easier for you to see mistakes or minor setbacks as opportunities for learning and growth. You may even find that you start viewing challenges as the fuel to your business.

I forgot that I set my 2021 goals back in October. I forgot that I set my 2021 goals back in October. 🤔😂

That's right. I set my goals 3 months before the start of the year and somehow, I still succumbed to that New Year overwhelm.

It's not unusual for me to become overwhelmed at the start of a new year. Don't get me wrong I LOVE a fresh start, Mondays are my favorite. That's the problem, I love fresh starts so much that I get overly excited and fueled by the constant New Year New You messaging, kick it into overdrive, and before I know it I'm drowning in extra goals, expectations, oh and that project I always wanted to start but never did.

If you're feeling new year overwhelm, I'm just here to say...

1. Your goals are still valid and reachable even if you didn't start them on Jan 1. 

2. The choices you make EACH day carry more weight than the one you make on 1 day at the start of the year.

3. You can set goals, any. day. of. the. year.

I have a whole list of 2021 business goals but I don’t usually make traditional resolutions. This year though, I'm going to try to read 50 business books! Wish me luck!

Do you make New Year's resolutions? Do New Year expectations overwhelm you? I’d love to hear!
Feeling that end of the year fog?? I've taken the Feeling that end of the year fog??

I've taken these last few weeks of the year to clean out old systems, organize files, and create new flows and templates for a smoother new year. Cleaning, organizing, and planning are all forms of self care for me and essential for my happiness within my business.

This year, I noticed a new benefit though. The energy I take into my planning and organizing has helped clear the holiday/end of year fog! 

No shame in taking these last few weeks to rest. Big rest proponent here! But I've so enjoyed the rush of motivation that comes with taking action during this weeks. There is also something amazing about working when everyone else is resting, I always feel like I'm accomplishing more somehow! 😂

I'm curious! How do you combat that end-of-year fog? Or do you just sink into it and store up on much needed rest?

A new look. ✨ I hardly know where to start. Thi A new look. ✨

I hardly know where to start. This project has been months in the making and I can’t believe the final product is finally here!

Honest, personal, grounded, energetic.

I grew up in Northern California where the mountain lions lurked in the hills around my childhood home. A perfect balance of power, grace, and intention, I always felt more comforted than fearful that they were nearby. That’s why it surprised me to tears when @hipsterthebear presented me with this logo after a quick convo we had and my approval of a Northern Californian native animal as a brand element. 

@hipsterthebear, thank you for sharing your gift and for your endless patience with me. I’m so grateful.

Swipe for the process! First is my original “look” or really just a collection of things I thought looked good in the moment but never really took the time to bring them all together for a cohesive brand. The next few slides are the mood board I made for Grady. Then, some of the final design.

I’ve been busy updating all the things and creating new ones. This branding infused new life into my business and I’m just riding the creative wave. 😭😭

Thank you @hipsterthebear!!! And special thanks to @shampooswan for my little mountain lion. I love her. 🤍
