✨ New Website Alert ✨

😍 My New Website →

No matter what business you’re in, overhauling your website might be the single most emotionally-draining task you will do in your business/as a freelancer. I’ve been running my business for 3 years, with an admittedly terrible website with incredibly outdated information/packages.

But I had zero time. I’ve had a little downtime in between project feedback, so I’ve recently made the time to update everything. After many emotional breakdowns doing the update (writing new copy and making new graphics is hard), loving my website now 😍 . Take a peek at the new site, including my updated coaching page, VIP days, workshops/bootcamps and more.

Still need to tighten some things up for mobile with my developer, but according to Google Analytics, 80% of my traffic is desktop, so that takes second priority 😅
