When I was 18, all I wanted to do was pursue my creative passions. But my dad sat me down and said “Honey, creativity doesn’t pay the bills.” So I went off to business school. Dove into a career in advertising and worked my way up the corporate ladder.
Fast forward 10 years. I was hammering away at the keyboard, wrapping up another 12-hour workday when that little voice in my head said "That's enough. I'm tired of this."
It literally hit me like a bucket of bricks: I want to cash in on my experience + expertise, not give it all away to these dudes so they can sit in their corner offices and get richer.
I took my first floral design workshop in 2014. I walked out and immediately set up my own business. I knew in my bones I had landed on my 'thing'.
Of course, my journey was messy AF. It took me 5 years to figure out how to actually make money doing this work. I made thousands of mistakes and took hundreds of missteps.
But holy crap did it work! I had built a business that allowed me to pay off my home loan before I turned 40.
This year, I've set myself the goal to generate $1 million in a 12-month timeframe. Why? Because it turns out my dad was wrong. Turns out your creativity is how you make money and build wealth.
I'm so grateful you're here and we get to travel this journey together.
