My weekly emails are half “how not to break online biz laws.” And half “marketing that actually works.” If you’re interested in growing (not just a legally sound online business), but one that sustains you for YEARS to come by focusing less on trends and more on sustainable strategies that work while you're not — join 37,000+ others who love having me in their inbox each week:

It's Time To Burst Your Virtual Bubble

It's Time To Burst Your Virtual Bubble I don't know about you, but I only hear about cool business conferences and retreats after they're over... Between running a business, pulling bird feathers out of Huddy's mouth (#dogmomlife), and general life stuff piling up -- I can't always get to the events I want to anyway. But this past week, I got the chance to speak at Jordan Gill's Make Your Mark Live! event in Dallas, TX. Whether you didn't know about it, or couldn't make it there for any...

One Spicy Lesson My lips were nearly Real Housewives-eligible by the time I'd realized my mistake... On Sunday, I made my weekly trip to the Farmers' Market to stock up on the essentials: goodies from the baker I wrote about last week! Kidding, kidding -- after Ryan and I devoured these pastries faster than Hogwarts' vanishing cabinet could go poof!, I set out on my weekly mission to find something seasonal to turn into a fun little cooking project. This week's find: tomatillos. I grabbed a...

🌶️ A Spicy Deal My friend, Nancy Levin, is holding a free Masterclass for life coaches! Nancy's one of the most accomplished life coaches I know—she has written seven bestselling books(!), helped thousands transform their lives, and founded Levin Life Coach Academy, where she teaches all the techniques and methodologies required to not only change people’s lives through life coaching, but build a successful business around it. And recently, she's seen the same things we’ve all been seeing....

What You Really Can Control I remember feeling like I was walking through soup. It was July 2012 and I was on my way to the Philadelphia Convention Center to sit for the Bar exam for 5 days to become a lawyer. As my husband, Ryan, pulled up to the curb to drop me off, my eyes welled with tears. "This is it," I thought. 🥹 The 4 years of undergrad, taking the LSAT, going through 3 years of law school, the open-to-close daily library studying sessions over the 3+ months studying for the Bar........
