As the year comes to a close, I keep coming back to this thought: the way I run my business is inseparable from the way I want to live my life.
This year brought new creative partnerships and deepened long-term ones, and I’m genuinely thankful for every designer and studio who trusted me behind the scenes. Being invited into your client work, your processes, and your standards is something I hold with a lot of care. Creating alongside people who value quality, clarity, and collaboration is what makes this work worth showing up for.
Did everything go exactly as planned on paper this year? Not quite.
But I showed up fully where it mattered most.
I spent entire days offline with my kids. I was present at tournaments and family moments without mentally juggling deadlines. I built a business that supported my life instead of competing with it and that’s a version of success I’m proud of.
Outside of work, life stayed full in the best ways. Sixteen years with my husband, three boys who keep us laughing and on our toes, a growing backyard flock (yes, including a rooster named Cluck Norris), and a deeper, steadier relationship with Jesus that continues to shape how I lead and serve.
And then there’s my Spicy Trio. The daily check-ins, honest conversations, and constant encouragement remind me how powerful real support can be. I’m excited for what we’re building next and what the new year will bring.
If this season taught me anything, it’s that growth doesn’t have to come at the cost of presence. You can build something meaningful and still have room for the life you’re building it for.
Here’s to moving into the next year with intention, clarity, and support that actually matters.
