Mae is the founder of Yay!Brand Co., a lifestyle brand that empowers the boss women and encourages you to manifest the mantras that are meaningful to your life.

Throughout her journey of learning how to “know”, Mae used affirmations as an invaluable tool to help me remember the truth about who I really am. This is why she created Yay! Brand. She wanted to share this amazing tool with you, so you, too, know that you are doing something to help yourself remember your truth, your grace, and your absolute worthiness. Yay! Brand aims to help people who are on a path of deep personal growth to ground themselves in intention on a daily basis so that they can move past their fears and live a life of purpose and joy. Mae believes that we all need to refocus on forgiving ourselves, remember that everything really is always working out for us, and that we have the power to deliberately focus on things that are within our sphere of influence. It is great to say “you are enough” but it is infinitely more powerful to say “I am enough.”
