What spaghetti & baseball have to do with biz...

I wish more soul-fueled small biz owners knew that sometimes in business, you need to take 50 swings that turn into 49 misses before you get your home run!
For me, that home run was web design.
Since moving back to Canada in 2023, I have tried about 700 different career paths…
I applied for no less than 50 jobs on Indeed. Everything from travel agency work to car dealership reception. I got one interview.
I started a women’s circle in an area that didn’t even have a yoga studio (and the minute I started trying to charge money for it — attendance plummeted).
I tried to go back to school to become a nurse. Didn’t have the right high school credits for that.
I took a job at a local spa, took trainings in gel nails and facials. The hours didn’t work nor did the hourly rate.
I opened my own mini spa space (and the owner that I was renting the room from let me know that we were being evicted three days after I paid my first month’s rent) 🙄
I signed a contract to travel back and forth to Costa Rica to work at a place that I had history with only to realize that I was selling my soul to make a buck. (These days no one could pay me enough to get out of integrity with my truth and values.)
And then someone mentioned that my background in graphic design, media, social media savvy, and website design could be monetized.
It was an aha moment.
I went back to university. I studied deep in the modern digital marketing space. I got my first website design client… and it has just snowballed ever since.
I’m now booked fully with clients into mid-May, with discovery calls on the books and no end in sight (so if you want on my project calendar NOW is the time to book your FREE consultation here.)
I’m helping small business owners and soul-fuelled entrepreneurs build businesses and brands that work the way they do; from the heart.
I’m incorporating my years of experience in coaching and Breathwork as aligned tools to help people stand in their truest self with soul and market with meaning.
I’m 45, and I finally know what I want to be when I grow up.At least for now.
Here’s what I’ve learned: Alignment rarely arrives in a straight line. Sometimes it looks like rejection.Sometimes it looks like embarrassment.Sometimes it looks like throwing spaghetti at the wall and watching it slide right back down.
But every “failed” attempt was data.Every pivot clarified what I wasn’t willing to do.Every wrong fit sharpened the truth of who I actually am.
Reinvention doesn’t always look strategic.Sometimes it looks messy, humbling, and wildly nonlinear. But when you finally hit the thing that fits - you’ll know. And you’ll be grateful you didn’t stop at the spa job, the eviction notice, or the one interview.
If any of this resonates, please know this: You can reinvent yourself at any time. Even at 45.Even after 700 attempts.Even when it feels like nothing is sticking.
Sometimes the spaghetti does stick. And when it does?Build the kitchen around it. 🔥

If you’re an entrepreneur, you already know this:
Uncertainty is part of the deal.
You can build the strategy. Map the launch. Forecast the revenue.
And still… something shifts.
A client drops off.An offer doesn’t land.You change your mind.
We are not in control the way we think we are.
And honestly? That truth can either create panic… or freedom.
Most of us have a destructive relationship with uncertainty. We equate it with failure, instability, being behind.
But uncertainty is just unshaped potential.
It’s a blank slate.
You may not control the full map- but you can influence the direction. Through your focus. Your energy. Your vision.
That’s why I’m giving you access to my 8-minute Embracing Uncertainty Breathwork practice.
We work with the mantra:
I find possibility in the unknown.
This is for the messy middle.For the pivot season.For when you don’t know what’s next but you know something is shifting.
You are not just here to react to life.
You are here to create it.
Take eight minutes.Reset your nervous system.Shift your relationship to the unknown.
