About a month ago I had surgery. The plan: finish my tax returns, heal a little, be back before anyone noticed. The plan did not survive contact with reality. 🙃 Recovery took longer than expected, clients sent their paperwork late, and my community went quiet while I slept on the couch. Hustle culture says grind through it. The rebel take: a business that only survives if you never get sick isn’t freedom. It’s a stressful job. 😤 So I’m rebuilding mine to survive me being human: scheduled posts, a backup person, and systems that work when I can’t. That’s the kind of real talk we have inside Bootstrapping Biz, a free community for new founders building businesses on their own terms. 💜 When you join, you can grab: 🚀 The Rebel Business Start-Up Checklist 💰 The Money Motivation Course Both are waiting in the classroom, and it’s all FREE. (for now!) Come hang out, and tell me in the comments: if you couldn’t work for a month, what would happen to your business? Bootstrapping Biz Confidence, clients, cash flow. Let’s build it! 💜☮️💰

This silly, active game gets the whole family moving, laughing, and connecting! And the best part? No supplies needed! 🍿 HOW TO PLAY: 1️⃣ Become a popcorn kernel! Everyone curls up into a little ball on the floor, just like an unpopped popcorn kernel. Choose someone to be the popcorn leader! 2️⃣ It’s getting HOT! 🔥 The leader slowly starts saying, “It’s getting hot… it’s getting hot… it’s getting hotter and hotter!” As the leader speaks, everyone slowly starts growing, gradually rising from their curled-up position until they’re standing tall! 3️⃣ POP! POP! POP! 🍿 Now the leader switches to saying, “POP! POP! POP!” Everyone starts JUMPING! As the leader says “POP!” faster and faster, everyone jumps faster and faster! 4️⃣ STICKY POPCORN! ❤️ Suddenly, the leader shouts, “STICKY POPCORN!” Everyone rushes together and STICKS! Kids can stick to Mom, Dad, their siblings, or the whole family can become one giant sticky popcorn ball! 5️⃣ Play again! Take turns being the leader and let the laughter continue! ❤️ WHY I LOVE THIS GAME: It’s an easy way to burn energy, get everyone moving, and create connection through laughter and play.

I help businesses figure out why their marketing isn't working the way it should. Sometimes the culprit is copy. Sometimes it's strategy. Sometimes it's a leak nobody thought to look for. If you've ever wondered why people click but don't convert, subscribe but don't buy, or buy once and disappear... that's my specialty. I can spot a hole in a funnel faster than my dog can sniff out something gross in the woods. What marketing mystery can I help you solve today?

One of my favourite things about Plant Positive is that food is often just the beginning. This week was a beautiful reminder that while delicious food brings us together... it's the conversations that keep us coming back. 💚 🌱 Plant It. Grow It. Our weekly thread where we each choose ONE thing that would make the week feel like a win, then cheer each other on. 💚 Let's Figure It Out Together. A brand new coaching series inspired by the conversations I have with clients every week. This week's reminder? One difficult day never erases all the good ones. ✨ Sparkle Joy Instead. A simple mindset shift for those moments when you catch yourself saying, "I'm chasing my tail." 🍝 Recipe Glow-Up. This week's experiment? Lasagna Beans! Lentils, tofu, chickpeas and vegan pesto transformed a traditionally meat-and-cheese dish into something ridiculously delicious. HUGE WIN! 🤝 Members sharing what they love. One of my favourite things about Plant Positive is how generously everyone shares their own knowledge. This week we've been chatting all things essential oils thanks to one of our wonderful members, @Jenny Rader-Bakos 😘 🥭 Recipe inspiration. Beautiful Green Summer Rolls with Mango Miso Sauce from Lazy Cat Kitchen had us all wanting to get into the kitchen. ...and that's exactly what I love about this community. Yes, we share recipes. We also share ideas, encouragement, practical coaching, honest conversations and tiny mindset shifts that make healthy living feel just a little easier. 💚 If you're looking for more than recipes—if you'd love practical coaching, healthy habit support, meal ideas, inspiring conversations and a genuinely kind-hearted community—I think you'd feel right at home in Plant Positive. I'd love to welcome you. New members can explore everything with a 7-day free trial.
