I grew up in a family where we didn’t really talk about things. Pain was swallowed. Conflict was avoided. You just kept going. And for a long time, that felt like safety. Silence meant survival.

But as I grew—especially as a creative and an entrepreneur—I started to see the cost. Silence turned into hiding my voice. Avoiding discomfort turned into avoiding hard conversations about money, boundaries, expectations, and needs. What once kept me safe began keeping me small.

Here’s the update I live by now: silence doesn’t protect you. It limits you. Naming reality is not being dramatic or disruptive—it’s an act of leadership. In art, in business, and in relationships, nothing actually grows without truth. Clarity creates trust. Honesty creates momentum.

My voice isn’t a problem to manage. It’s a compass. It points toward alignment, integrity, and forward movement. And I’m done confusing quiet with peace and truth with danger.

Entrepreneurship taught me—sometimes gently, sometimes not—that you don’t build a sustainable business by overriding your body, your intuition, or your values. You build it by listening more closely. To your energy. To your limits. To what feels aligned and what quietly drains you.

When I tried to hustle past myself, my business reflected that disconnection. When I slowed down and started honoring my nervous system, my creativity, and my actual capacity, everything shifted. The work became clearer. The messaging became truer. The growth became steadier.

This is the kind of entrepreneurship I believe in. One that supports the human running the business, not one that consumes them.

If you’re building something of your own and feeling the tension between “what you’ve been told to do” and what your inner knowing is asking for, you’re not alone. I work with entrepreneurs who want to grow without self-abandonment—and who are ready to listen more deeply to themselves in the process.

I genuinely love being a social media manager and UGC creator.

I love the storytelling.
I love translating a feeling, a mission, a product, or a person into something visual and alive.
I love the creativity of shaping posts, reels, and UGC that feel human instead of hollow—and meaningful instead of noisy.

For me, social media isn’t about chasing trends or gaming an algorithm. It’s about listening closely, finding the thread of truth in a brand, and telling that story in a way that invites people in. When it’s done well, it builds trust. It builds connection. It helps good businesses be seen without losing their soul.

I feel incredibly lucky to create alongside my clients—to help them share what they’re building, why it matters, and who it’s really for.

If you’re looking ahead to 2026 and feeling ready for your business to grow with more clarity, creativity, and alignment, I’d love to connect. Feel free to DM me to start a conversation about how I can support your story and your growth in the year ahead.

Creation, at its deepest level, asks for a kind of surrender that isn’t talked about much.

You show up.
You make the thing.
You tell the truth as cleanly as you can.
And then you let go.

You don’t get to control how it’s received, how far it travels, or who recognizes themselves in it. You don’t get to decide if it lands loudly or quietly, immediately or years from now. That part isn’t yours.

💗💗 What is yours is the integrity of the offering. 💗💗

The care you bring to your craft.
The honesty in your voice.
The willingness to lay down your joy, your questions, your lived experience without contorting yourself to be palatable or strategic.

This is why creation is a spiritual practice. It trains trust. It refines discernment. It asks you to keep choosing truth over performance, even when the results are unclear. 💗💗

If you’re in a season where you’re learning to create without gripping the outcome, to offer your work without abandoning yourself- I’m walking this path too. As a creator, an entrepreneur, and a coach, I know how tender this place can be.

You’re invited to reach out for a free, no-pressure coaching conversation if you want support staying rooted in integrity while you keep offering what’s yours to give.

💗,
Mindy

Sometimes the disorientation isn’t a sign you’re doing it wrong. It’s a sign you’ve outgrown the instructions you were handed.

Many of us were given maps that never accounted for our nervous systems, our creativity, our sensitivity, our nonlinear minds, or the way our energy actually moves. So when the old directions stop working, it can feel like something is wrong with us.

But often, nothing is wrong. You’re just standing at the edge of a new way of living, creating, and working- and the old map can’t get you there.

I’ve been here. I know this terrain. I know the grief, the relief, the fear, and the quiet excitement that comes with realizing you can’t go back... but you don’t quite know how to go forward yet.

This is the work I do in coaching.
Not fixing you. Not pushing you.
But helping you listen, orient, and build a path that actually fits who you are now.

If you’re in that in-between space, where the old way no longer works and the new way hasn’t fully revealed itself yet, I’m right here with you. I know the steps. I can help you find your way forward.

DM me for a free, no-pressure coaching conversation. We’ll start exactly where you are.

❤,
Mindy

Behind every video, caption, or campaign you see from me is a whole little universe of strategy. I’m studying your brand voice, mapping your customer journey, understanding what your people need to feel in order to trust you.

This is the kind of marketing I love: the thoughtful kind. The kind that turns a simple product moment into a micro-story. The kind that helps your audience feel understood, not targeted.

If you’re ready for content that blends creativity, intentionality, and actual results, DM CONTENT and I’ll walk you through my UGC + social management options.

As an autistic entrepreneur, I’ve learned that boundaries aren’t optional—they’re infrastructure. They’re the beams holding the whole damn building up. If I say yes to every opportunity, every client, every collaboration, my nervous system will absolutely tap out and take my creativity with it. So I’ve had to get really honest about what I can actually hold. That looks like saying no more often than feels “socially acceptable,” only taking on clients I can regulate around, and refusing to work with people who constantly push past my clearly stated limits. Not because I’m fragile, but because I’m finally done sacrificing my body and brain just to make other people comfortable.

Using my nervous system as a metric of success has changed everything. If my income is going up but my sleep is wrecked, my sensory system is fried, and I’m in a constant state of dread, that’s not success—that’s self-abandonment with better branding. Real success, for me, is being resourced enough to show up fully present to my work, my relationships, my life. It’s getting to the end of the week with energy left in the tank. It’s building a client list that feels emotionally safe, creatively inspiring, and regulation-friendly. Those boundaries have cost me some opportunities, sure. But they’ve given me something better: a life and business I can actually inhabit, not just survive.

Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria as an entrepreneur is… a lot. When you’re running a business, “rejection” isn’t rare—it’s baked into the process. Pitches get ignored, emails don’t get answered, clients say no, people unfollow, a post flops, someone makes a weird comment—and for a nervous system wired with RSD, every one of those moments can feel like a flashing billboard that says, “You’re not good enough. You’re embarrassing yourself. Everyone can see you failing.” It’s incredibly easy to spiral. One unanswered email becomes “They hate me.” One slow month becomes “I should never have started this.” One awkward interaction becomes “I’m not cut out for this at all.” The cognitive leap from small data to catastrophic story is Olympic-level.

What’s helped me is learning to put a pause between the event and the story I tell about it. That pause is everything. I’ve started asking myself, “What actually happened?” (they didn’t reply), “What am I making it mean?” (I’m a joke, they regret working with me, I blew it), and “Is that the only possible story?” Usually, it’s not even the most likely one. From there, I consciously update the narrative: maybe they’re busy, maybe my offer wasn’t the right fit, maybe that post was practice, not proof. RSD doesn’t disappear just because I understand it—but I don’t let it drive the car anymore. I let the feelings move through, I check the facts, I rewrite the story in a way that’s kinder and more accurate, and then I keep going. That’s how I stay in the game: not by never spiraling, but by learning how to climb back out.

Some days, my brain does a pretty decent job translating my feelings and needs into words.

Other days, it’s just… blue screen of death.
Feelings? 10/10 intense.
Words? Absolutely not. System offline.

That’s when I crack open ChatGPT and go:
“Hi, I am experiencing 47 emotions and 12 open trauma tabs. Please turn this chaos into a sentence another human can understand.”

And honestly? It helps.
Not because I can’t think for myself, but because sometimes my inner world is so loud that I need a gentle translator. Something that can take,
“I’m spiraling, overstimulated, and weirdly hungry,”
and turn it into,
“Hey, I need a break and a snack before I can talk about this.”

Neurodivergent life hack:
Outsource the wording,
never outsource the truth.

I grew up in poverty and in a conflict-avoidant household, which meant there was zero space for big feelings. Survival came first. Keep the peace. Don’t rock the boat. Don’t upset anyone who’s already hanging on by a thread. Emotions were a liability, not a language.

For a big-hearted, sensitive, overthinker like me, that was brutal. I felt everything and was allowed to express almost nothing. So I did what a lot of us do: I learned to mask like a pro. I became hyper-attuned to everyone else’s moods, needs, and tones. I figured out how to be “easy,” “helpful,” “fine.” My outsides were calm and agreeable. My insides were a roaring ocean with the mute button smashed down.

As I got older, I started breaking patterns. I worked my ass off to change the parts of my lineage that were hurting everyone: the poverty, the alcoholism, the abuse, the unhealthy relationship dynamics. I built a different kind of life—safer, kinder, more stable. But here’s the thing I didn’t notice at first: I did most of that with my full self… locked up tight. Big emotions kept contained. Nervous system clenched. Heart heavily guarded.

Now, in my 40s, the work looks different. I’m learning how to actually live in my body, not just drag it along behind my brain. I’m learning how to feel my emotions in real time instead of analyzing them from a safe intellectual distance. I’m learning how to be fully present—sensory, tender, honest—without automatically bracing for impact.

It has been challenging and messy. There have been ugly cries, hard conversations, shutdowns, repairs, and so many moments where I thought, “It would be easier to just go numb again.” But it has also been unbelievably rewarding.

Because for the first time, I’m not just surviving my life. I’m actually in it. With my big emotions. With my sensitive, autistic, overthinking brain. With my whole heart.

And as hard as it’s been, I wouldn’t go back to the muted version of me for anything.

There’s a specific kind of joy in helping small businesses and soulful brands tell their stories online. The founder mixing ingredients in their kitchen. The local shop that’s been through hell and kept going. The product born from someone’s healing or heartbreak.

This is why I love UGC and social marketing—I get to translate your real-life magic into visuals and words that make people feel you. I get to help your audience see the heartbeat behind the business, not just the product on the shelf.

If you want content with personality, strategy, and actual heart, DM GROW and I’ll send you everything you need to get started.

There’s this tiny gremlin that lives inside my mind — maybe you’ve met yours too. Mine has Opinions. Mine has Flair. Mine loves to show up right when I’m about to do something brave and whisper things like, “Are you sure?… Because I’m not.”

I’ve learned that the little voice in my head — the inner critic, the inner gremlin, whatever you want to call it — is not me. For most of my life I thought its worry was wisdom, its fear was intuition, and its criticism was truth. But once I started personifying it, giving it an identity separate from my own, everything shifted. When your inner critic becomes a frazzled raccoon in a blazer or a dramatic little gremlin who panics over everything, you stop mistaking it for your higher self. You can actually build a relationship with it, listen without obeying, soothe it without surrendering.

This is a big theme in Internal Family Systems (Richard Schwartz), The Untethered Soul (Michael Singer), Self-Compassion (Kristin Neff), and The Artist’s Way (Julia Cameron). They all point toward the same truth: when you don’t differentiate from your inner critic, it runs your life like a toddler with scissors. But when you create space between you and the voice, your real self — the grounded, wise one — can step back into leadership. The goal isn’t to kill the critic, it’s to stop letting it drive. It’s to remember that you are the one holding the steering wheel, not the scared little creature shouting directions from the back seat.
