PERSONAL BRANDING: Is your holdup EMOTIONAL or TECHNICAL?
I opened up a conversation I was SO READY FOR weeks ago on Instagram… but it’s a heavy one and I think all of us involved in this conversation literally held hands and jumped into the deep end of the pool together, not knowing where the bottom was. I can’t believe I’m about to say…
How I Use My Simplified Planner(s) | Salt Air Entrepreneur
YES QUEEN! Here we go! I love my planner(s). I have to pluralize that because I have a weekly academic year planner (August 2019-July 2020) for the girls and their life priorities and my big mama daily calendar year planner for all 654 of my jobs, LOL! It was SUPER freeing to me to be…

Digital Minimalism Biggest Lessons | Salt Air Entrepreneur
Let me start by pompously proclaiming something important to know: I have been killing it this year. I say that as an Enneagram One who thrives on being perfectionistic, but has realized she can’t be perfect and knows that what she is already doing and accomplished is good enough 🙂 Being a One is HARD, but it’s…
12 Hours Weekly, 8 Years Later | Salt Air Entrepreneur
I wish I could find a better word than FUNK, but funk’s gonna have to be it. For months I’ve been in the weirdest mental space (sharing this on Instagram stories and finding other moms that are in the SAME season, we are feeling weird together!) and after being a mom for the past almost…
