Reader...I've got beef with the day after Turkey Day. It might come from my days of working in retail and watching even some of my favorite luxury brands succumb to the hype. I swear I still hear "Stack 'em High and Watch 'em Fly" in my nightmares this time of year, ANYTIME I see a sweater table at the mall. This Saturday, I was driving back from getting my Flu and TDap vaccines so I can spend the holidays with a family member who has cancer, and I needed to drive through the mall parking...

Reader It is wild when you experience your business running the way you intended it to. I did a random email check one night and saw that someone had purchased my video audit... that I didn't know about. A little curious, I checked my Stripe notifications to figure out where it came from. A mini celebration, and I sat down and got to work. At the end of the video, I shared how she could work with me further and she said yes! So I sent her the payment link... no big deal! Now I am sitting...

Hey Reader, Hot take: I don't like It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown. For me, it all sounds like the teacher talking in the background... womp womp womp womp womp. My mother, for some reason, seems to think you play it from Halloween to Thanksgiving. Now, I don't understand why Linus waits around in a pumpkin patch, but Snoopy was petty for getting his hopes up. Yet... I kind of respect it. Speaking of waiting around for something that may or may not show up. Don't be Linus with this...

Spice Girls was my favorite movie when I was 7 years old. Our dad took me and my sister to see it, and I am pretty sure he secretly loved it. One of our favorite lines to quote was when Scary Spice and Sporty Spice were making fun of Posh Spice and said, "What are you going to wear, the little Gucci dress or the little... Gucci... dress?" I had no idea what Gucci was and thought that was how the British said black. No judgment... I was 7. Fast forward 25 years, and I still believe in having...

Hey Reader, Halloween is a big deal in our family! I am not with Gray's dad, but all of us show up and show out together. Grayson loves Justin Jefferson from the Minnesota Vikings, so last year as a family unit I went as a cheerleader, his dad was the Vikings Coach, my boyfriend was a ref, and Gray... Jay Jettas. He was obsessed with Ninja Turtles one year, so while he was Raphael, his dad had a full Samurai costume and scared the neighborhood as Shredder... I was a very chill April O'Neil....

Hey Reader, Soooo I sent out an email before I left for vacation sharing about a new workshop I did this month at a Conference. Well, I had my boyfriend's birthday present on the brain and sent you the date and time of the NBA game we went to... It wasn't until my friend Marc emailed me back to that email and apologized for missing it that I realized I made an oops. If your messaging hasn't landed this year and you keep hearing the buzz about Brand Archetypes and are ready to make a change...
