I’ve been feeling a shift in my business. It excites me, and scares me, which is how I know it’s good. And lately, I’ve been inspired by Lois Mac and the Up Club to just say the damn thing and stop waiting until the idea is finished, refined, or even fully formed. My long-term vision is shifting and I’m reevaluating my priorities.

So here’s the thing. I’m a website copywriter for wedding pros. You know this already. What you don’t know, is that I want to be more. A lot more. 

Here goes nothing.

I want to be a safe place for creatives. I want to be a home base for big dreamers, people who know that there’s more, and are teetering on the edge of pursuing it wholeheartedly or shrinking back into the blanket of comfort that keeps them safe but never satisfies. 

I’m waxing poetic today because that’s part of the shift, too. 

I’m a poet at heart. A novelist. A daydreamer. A feeler. And for so long, I have separated my business from my beating heart, only allowing the more palatable, easily digestible, less dramatic versions through. My heart is still in helping female entrepreneurs, in helping business owners find freedom and create the life they envisioned when they started their business. 

But that’s such a small part of it. And all of these parts, the parts that I have cut off and isolated and tried to keep in neat little boxes… they may make me more digestible. More easily understood. But they do not accurately represent who I am or who I want to be. They don’t reflect my long-term vision for my business or my life. So be patient with me today. Because I’m going to be poetic. 

Life and business? Poetry. Unexpectedly so. Untraditionally so. Because traditionally, we keep life and work separate. We clock in and clock out, severing our “work brain” from our “life brain.” And for the most part, this makes sense. I’ve worked jobs that require me to turn my personality off, to greet customers with a smile, to remain silent as their child runs rampant through the store. 

But not anymore. Not for the last two years. Why, then, have I maintained this line of separation? 

(Now, before you start quoting textbooks, I’m not championing a lack of boundaries. I do not think clients should be able to call you at all hours of the night. I encourage turning off your phone and closing your email. That’s not what I’m talking about here.)

I’m talking about passion. About dreams. About – dare I say – a higher calling. 

I’m talking about creating the life you dream of, the life that scares you, that excites you, that sets you on fire and keeps you from sleeping that you hardly dare to think about because if you hold it too tightly you fear the vision will break, and you’ll be left with a resounding “What if?” 

That’s what I’m talking about. And that’s what I’m building. With help from people who know better than me, who have built something lovely and lasting, who believe in me and my dreams. Because still, it takes a village. It always does, and it always will. 

I want to help you find your village. If you let me, I want to be part of it. Because community, encouragement, doing life together… that’s the dream. For me, anyway. 

And maybe it’s your dream, too. Maybe you think about having a community of women who will listen – truly listen – to you. And then, after you’ve spilled your guts and explained all the reasons your dreams aren’t attainable, all the ways you’re not enough, all the things you cannot do, take your hand and lift you higher. Because your dreams? So attainable. You just might need a little help. 

That’s what I’m here for. That’s the person I want to be. The life I want to represent. 

So this is my first step.

My heart is for helping people find who they are and create a life that supports them. My heart is for business owners who started this adventure to create said life. And the business-y things I do, the copywriting, messaging, brand voice, SEO… all of these things are just one part of the greater whole. So I will continue writing websites and blogs. I will forever be hopping on calls to help women find their voice and learn how to use it. That’s not going to change. 

What is changing is the long-term vision. I’m not just interested in getting clients or paychecks. I’m interested in building a community and creating real, raw connections. So if you’re here for the copy stuff, click here. But if you’re here for the community, for the support system, and for the vision… well, bear with me. It’s coming. Until then, shoot me a DM on Instagram. Tell me you’ve read this blog. And tell me what you think about it! 

Like I said, this isn’t fully formed. I’m not sure when—or if—it ever will be. Because good ideas just keep going, and expanding, and welcoming more people into the fold. 

So uh… welcome to my fold. I’m happy you’re here.
