Small Business Casual: Content Marketing, Productivity, Customer Experience for Entrepreneurs & Creators

Welcome to Small Business Casual, where we focus on designing a sustainable, cozy, and thriving business tailored to your LIFE. Not the other way around!

Here, small business meets your favorite pair of slippers. It's a little quirky, not too buttoned up, one less accessory, ahhh… just right.

From customer service, business productivity, and content marketing to making sense-of-the-behind the scenes, chaos, I walk alongside you as we make life and business less of a roller coaster ride and more like a walk in the park (with snacks, of course!).

I offer Small Business Copywriting & Content Marketing Consulting to interior designers, home trade professionals, service providers, coaches, consultants, non-profits, and entrepreneurs with a big mission!

Overcoming Creative Blocks

What’s really behind our creative blocks?

Are you actually "blocked" or is there a truth trying to make its way out and give you a message?

Sometimes what looks like procrastination, resistance, boredom, and blocks is really your inner self raising its hand to deliver a message.

Nothing is wrong with you, and you don't need to put your "fixer" hat on. But the creative block might be telling you something and asking you to truly listen.

In this episode, we explore 5 things a creative block might be revealing about your business and marketing:

What happens when we're evolving and changing
How it looks when the method is wrong (even if the goal is right)
What to do if you're bored
Looking at areas of misalignment or being out of integrity
Watch out for being too busy
And more!

Maybe… this isn’t a block at all. Maybe you’re not actually stuck, maybe you’re just ready to step up a little bigger and bolder and create from the inside out.
