From meaningful actions to misalignments, my latest report dives deep. Discover why readers find my book transformative for business, celebrate a milestone in my human design podcast journey with me, and learn how I stayed on track in March. I invite you to reflect on your own month that was, with alignment questions you can ask yourself to find clarity.
You've got a front row seat into what felt aligned for me in February, what didn't feel aligned (aka my biggest nos and mistakes) and the most meaningful actions I took.
Doing these recaps for you is helpful because it makes me pay attention to what’s going on for me, and I want you to feel that way as well. By listening to these, I hope to inspire you with a model for your own self-reflection that you can bring into the next month - March 2024.

In the latest segment of my popular series of Alignment Reports, I share the wins, losses, and meaningful actions from January 2024 within my own business.
I take you on a journey through my recent foray into self-publishing. From wrestling with cover designs to figuring out spine formatting, every step taught me something new. From the launch of my brand-new podcast: the Human Design Profiles and Entrepreneurship Podcast, hopping on the Talking Freelance podcast as a guest and joining Lindsay Dollinger's Summit, lots happened in January.
Of course, no journey is without its hiccups. Cue the barcode saga – a little misstep in the self-publishing process that taught me some invaluable lessons.
As January draws to a close, take a moment to reflect on the wins, the challenges, and everything in between. It’s so worth it to be reflective and build your self-awareness as you build your business.
In this catchup Alignment Report episode, I share everything that’s felt aligned and not aligned in the last three months - plus my most meaningful actions.

It's so important to trust that you're receiving straightforward advice and insights from coaches and experts. As a small business owner myself, I understand the need for guidance that draws from lived experiences and expertise.
While I value individual learning styles and coaching approaches, I personally prefer direct and authentic communication. As a coach, I believe in sharing my opinions and advice to empower business owners. In this episode, I explore the concept of platform bias and the influence it has on marketing strategists.
Unlike platform influencers who advocate for a specific platform, my goal is to promote intentionality and self-awareness. I emphasize the importance of choosing platforms aligned with your values and clients, without any vested interests. By being impartial, I aim to help you make informed decisions and set meaningful goals in your business journey.
Join me in this episode as we navigate the world of platforms, empowering you to be discerning and intentional in your choices.
