Your Google search history is safe here. 🙃“Unhinged” search history before your brand session ≠ unprepared. It means you want this to matter. Same.  What are you curious about before a brand session???? Drop your❓below… you’re probably not alone.

Sometimes it’s fun to ride the detours my brain goes on, and I thought I’d take you along for the ride. We have heavy tree damage in our neighborhood and no power for who knows how long. Finding humor in the chaos helps me cope m’kay? Does living by candlelight bring out your medieval heroine too?

For most of my life, I thought my brain was a liability in business.
Too many ideas at once.
Too many tabs open (in my browser AND in my head)
Too many pivots to ever look focused and professional from the outside.

Every book, every podcast, every “expert” told me the same thing:
Be consistent. Pick a lane. Stick to it.
And for a while, I tried.

I squeezed myself into neat little boxes.
I followed other people’s formulas.
I forced myself into systems that drained the joy right out of my work.
I kept thinking if I could just be more disciplined, I’d finally get it right.

But he “chaos”  is where my creativity thrives.
It’s why I can connect dots other people don’t even see.
It’s why I’m never short on ideas or ways to make something better.

I’m done treating my brain like a flaw.
The chaos is part of my process.
Part of the magic.
Part of ME.

It’s not the thing holding me back—it’s the thing that sets me apart.
