Ten years ago, I started my business with nothing but a dream. I believed that hard work and great products would lead to success. I wasn't entirely wrong—hard work and quality do matter. However, I underestimated one massive piece: the level of marketing it takes to truly thrive.
For years, I felt like I was constantly playing catch-up. My work was solid, and my customers loved what I delivered. But when it came to consistently showing up online and building a recognizable brand? I was winging it, and it showed.
The Questions That Changed Everything
Over the past few years, I've had many conversations with fellow small business owners. Whether chatting at markets, during kitchen classes, or through DMs and emails, the same questions kept coming up:
"How do you stay so consistent with your marketing?"
"How did you figure out your brand voice?"
"What's your secret to showing up confidently online?"
Initially, I brushed off these questions. I felt like I hadn’t figured it all out—I was still learning and making mistakes. But as these conversations continued, I realized something important: I had actually developed systems. I learned things and pieced together solutions over the years.
The Three-Year Journey to Clarity
The transformation of my business over the past three years wasn’t because I became a marketing genius overnight. It resulted from dedicating focused time to really dive deep into my brand. I got crystal clear on what I wanted to say, how I wanted to say it, and who I was saying it to.
I stopped treating marketing as an afterthought and built it into my business's foundation. I refined my messaging, created consistent visual elements, and developed sustainable systems. These new processes prevented me from scrambling for content ideas every week.
The Impact of Clarity
The impact was significant. My marketing became easier. Showing up online felt natural instead of forced. Most importantly, my business began to reflect the professional image I had built instead of the scattered, inconsistent persona I was projecting.

Why "Together" Is Where We Thrive
What truly drives me to create this course is my belief that we thrive together, not in isolation.
Every small business owner I know is incredibly talented. They are skilled, dedicated, and passionate about their work. Yet, many struggle with marketing alone, facing similar challenges.
What if we didn’t have to tackle these challenges solo? What if I could bundle all those marketing strategies, brand clarity work, and the systems that took me years to develop into a course that saves time and energy?
What Radiate & Thrive Is Really About
Radiate & Thrive isn't just another course. It condenses everything I've learned about building a sustainable and authentic marketing strategy into six focused weeks where we work through it together.
This course is designed for business owners with 1-5 years of experience who are ready to stop winging it. You know your work is exceptional, but your branding and marketing don’t reflect your professionalism. If you're tired of feeling scattered and overwhelmed when promoting your business, this course is for you.
What You Will Build
Over six weeks, we will build:
A clear mission, vision, and direction that guides every decision you make.
Visual brand consistency with colors, fonts, and an aesthetic that commands respect.
An authentic brand voice that resonates with your audience and converts effectively.
Sustainable marketing systems that keep you visible without leading to burnout.
A polished digital presence that mirrors the business you've created.
The confidence to show up as the established professional you are.

The Summer That Changes Everything
This summer could be a turning point for your business. Instead of spending another season wondering why marketing feels so difficult, you can engage in six weeks of focused work that prepares you for success in the coming year.
You'll benefit from weekly live classes, follow-up Q&A sessions for personalized feedback, and comprehensive workbooks to guide you. You'll also gain access to a supportive community of fellow business owners on the same journey.
Community Support
What excites me most is that you won't tackle these challenges alone. We will work through obstacles together, celebrate wins, and build something sustainable as a community.
Your Business Deserves to Shine
If you're waiting for the "right time" to take your marketing seriously, this is it. Your business deserves to shine as brightly as the passion and skill you invest in it every day.
Successful small business owners aren’t always the ones with big budgets or natural marketing instincts. They are the ones who take focused action, build effective systems, and surround themselves with a community that fosters growth.
