Your service-based business deserves a ridiculously productive, low-cost Pinterest assistant that shaves hours off your workweek by doing all the heavy lifting on Pinterest.

Pinterest pin descriptions are the elevator pitch of your content on Pinterest – short, punchy, and captivating when told to the right person. If only the process of writing them were as quick and easy. Are you confused about pin descriptions? Staring at the blinking cursor, trying to find the right words, can be frustrating, […]
Wouldn’t it be nice if your website visitors shared your content on their Pinterest boards? Well, they can and will if you make it easy for them!

Pinterest and email marketing are the power duo every B2B service-based business needs.

As a highly sensitive person, your path to creating a business that supports you in every way and feels good probably looks a bit different than someone who’s not an HSP. Ask me how I know 🙌 Trying to do things the traditional way has led me to overwhelm and burnout many times before. These […]
Since mentioning I use Google Drive and Notion together to manage my business, I’ve been getting questions about what information I put into Notion and how I use it. I love not being restricted by the (in)abilities of a project management software and being able to build my own systems in Notion. Particularly as someone who loves to […]
Lately, I’ve been applying KonMari magic to my business and weeding out mindsets, strategies, and tactics that bring anything but joy. It’s been a blast, to say the least. So whether you love to get a peek behind the scenes or are just binging (hey I see you), this is for you. What I No […]
