19 things to know about me

1. I’m a mom to a rad 10-year-old who’s writing a book about a whale and a cactus (she’s gonna be famous).

2. I live in Portugal - because I saw this bananapants nonsense coming. (I try not to say, “I told you so,” TOO often).

3. I have ADHD. My brain is faster than your brain. Nanny nanny nanny. Also, I can’t find my favorite pen. Oh well. I guess I’m not doing anything at all today.

4. One of the best professional compliments a client has ever given me was, “I can’t even understand the body mechanics of how you can hug me and kick me in the ass at the same time.”

5. I am 100% sure that generosity will save the world. And I also get irrationally ragey when people take advantage of this belief.

6. I work two or three days a week. Max. I used up all my hustle. Nothing is worth missing a lazy afternoon of Roblox and pastel de nata with my kid.

7. I have an MBA in Sustainable Enterprise. I know things.

8. I live with chronic pain from severe endometriosis that I have had for my entire life. It sucks. I hate telling people about it because the entire world looks at you differently when you do. But that will only change if people like me actually start talking about how common this is. And now I’m going to curl up in my vulnerability hangover ball.

9. My business is designed to play to my strengths and is built around my pain levels so I can always offer the very best of me to my clients. This is what I specialize in. Good businesses for good people. And it only works when the structure it’s build on is built for THEM.

10. I used to live in a tiny house. Ask me how much I don’t miss having a composting toilet. Go ahead. Ask me. #indoorplumbingforlife

11. My clients often send me thank-you notes with their payments.

12. I owned a design agency for a decade. So when I say that you need a new website, just believe me, ok?

13. I’m the coach you come to after you spend a stupid amount of money on other people and programs that taught you nothing and nearly ruined your marriage. So maybe just skip that first part, yeah?

14. I am physically incapable of manipulative marketing. For real, I break out in moist hives at the very thought of a countdown timer. It’s gross.

15. I really dig IFS (Internal Family Systems). My coach saved my life.

16. Podcasts are amazing. I have one. People seem to like it. And don’t listen to podcasts. Seriously, I have absolutely no idea when people listen to podcasts. Shhh, don’t tell anyone.

17. Pretty sure you would be happier if you made more art.

18. In my bones, I am 100% sure that the only way to heal our culture is by finding ways to care about one another. All. The. Time. And also, I wish I could breathe fire on JK Rowling and show that awful woman what a real fucking dragon looks like.

    Nobody’s perfect.

19. A culture is only as good as how we treat those who can defend themselves the least. This is why I unconditionally support the queer and trans community. You should too.

Did you know that if you subscribe as a Consulting Member for $500 or more, you get a TWO HOUR session with me each year that you’re active and you lock in the rate you pay for future sessions as well? I only have a few of these available (remember how I said I only work two days a week?)
