Hey Reader,
It’s officially September – summer is slowly winding down, and business is creeping back toward the #1 spot on everyone’s priority list.
Whether you’ve had an action-packed summer of go, go, go, or one that was slow-paced and leisurely, it can be tough to get back into the swing of things during this time of year. I myself have experienced what can only be described as a “fun hangover” – not a hangover that’s fun, but a period of feeling low after a long season of excitement.
The one thing that’s helped me get back on track is having a plan. Even though the motivation tank has been low, I’ve been taking time at the beginning of each day to outline some goals and put time on my calendar to accomplish them.
And while everybody has different productivity hacks that work for them, I can’t help but share one of the tools that’s been a complete game changer for me – NOTION.
As I was launching my business, I was on the hunt for the perfect project management tool. I started out using Asana because it seemed like everyone else was using it. But eventually, I stopped liking it!
I wanted more flexibility in terms of the way I organized and visualized projects. Asana did offer that flexibility, but they made me pay for it (boooo), so I decided to try out Notion, and the rest is history.
In case you’re thinking this is an infomercial for Notion, it’s not – it’s totally free. It’s just brought me so much peace of mind in my business that I had to share!
Here’s to easing back into business mode!

Hi , As both a website designer and developer, I talk a lot about what it takes to create a website that’s both beautiful and functional. Websites aren’t just meant to be pretty online spaces – they can and should be your business’s most effective sales tool! To make that happen, we can’t just be throwing website pages together willy-nilly. In fact, some of the most important work that goes into creating a website happens before we ever start talking about color palettes, content, and website...
Hey there Reader, The other day, I was reviewing my LinkedIn profile (as one does when trying to embody *PEAK* professionalism as a solopreneur), and I decided to scroll allll the way back in time to my first job... Back to the good old days when I was collecting cash in the In N' Out drive-thru. And as I reminisced, letting the burger-scented waves of nostalgia wash over me, something caught my attention on my computer screen. "2 yrs 4 mos" The amount of time I was employed at In N' Out....
Hey there Reader, With all the craziness that went into our first-ever launch of Showit Shortcuts, I almost forgot to celebrate the fact that Seedling Studio turned TWO! If my business were a baby, it would be walking, talking, and tearing up my office right now. Proud mom moment. 🥲 So, I thought it would be cute and on-theme to share two big lessons I've learned from these last two years serving a spectrum of service providers, creatives, and organizations with high-converting website design...
