Why I Created Radiate & Thrive (And Why Your Business Needs It This Summer)

Ten years ago, I started my business with nothing but a dream and the belief that if I just worked hard and made great products, success would naturally follow. I wasn't entirely wrong—hard work and quality do matter. But there was one massive piece I completely underestimated: the level of marketing it takes to truly thrive.

For years, I felt like I was constantly playing catch-up. My work was solid, my customers loved what I delivered, but when it came to showing up consistently online, communicating my value, and building a recognizable brand? I was winging it. And it showed.

The Questions That Changed Everything

Over the past few years, something started happening in my conversations with fellow small business owners. Whether we were chatting at markets, during my 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?"

At first, I brushed these questions off. I didn't feel like I had it all figured out—I was still learning, still tweaking, still making mistakes. But as these conversations continued year after year, I realized something important: I had actually developed systems. I had learned things. I had figured out pieces that took me years to put together.

The Three-Year Journey to Clarity

The past three years have been transformative for my business, and it wasn't because I suddenly became a marketing genius overnight. It was because I finally dedicated focused time to really dive deep into my brand—to get 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 like an afterthought and started building it into the foundation of my business. I refined my messaging, created consistent visual elements, and developed sustainable systems that didn't leave me scrambling for content ideas every week.

The result? My marketing became easier. Showing up online felt natural instead of forced. And most importantly, my business started reflecting the professional, established company I had actually built—not the scattered, inconsistent image I was accidentally projecting.

Why "Together" Is Where We Thrive

But here's the thing that really drove me to create this course: I believe we thrive together, not in isolation.

Every small business owner I know is incredibly talented at what they do. They're skilled, dedicated, and passionate about their work. But so many of us are trying to figure out marketing alone, making the same mistakes, reinventing the same wheels, and feeling frustrated by the same challenges or simply not making the time for it.

What if we didn't have to do that? What if I could take all those pieces—the marketing strategies, the brand clarity work, the systems that literally took me years to figure out—and share them in a way that could save you time, energy, and a lot of trial and error?

What Radiate & Thrive Is Really About

Radiate & Thrive isn't just another course. It's me taking everything I've learned about building a sustainable, authentic marketing strategy and condensing it into six focused weeks where we work through it together.

This course is for business owners who have been in the game for 1-5 years and are ready to stop winging it. You know your work is solid, but your brand and marketing don't reflect the quality and professionalism you deliver. You're tired of feeling scattered, inconsistent, and overwhelmed every time you try to promote your business.

Over six weeks, we'll build:

• A clear mission, vision, and direction that guides every decision you make

• Visual brand consistency with colors, fonts, and aesthetic direction that commands respect

• An authentic brand voice that sounds like you and converts like crazy

• Sustainable marketing systems that keep you visible without burning you out

• A polished digital presence that finally matches the business you've built

• The confidence to show up like the established professional you actually are

The Summer That Changes Everything

This summer could be the turning point for your business. Instead of spending another season wondering why your marketing feels so hard, you could have six weeks of focused work that sets you up to thrive for the year ahead.

You'll get weekly live classes with me, follow-up Q&A sessions for personalized feedback, comprehensive workbooks to guide your implementation, and access to a supportive community of fellow business owners who are on the same journey.

But here's what I'm most excited about: you won't be figuring this out alone. We'll work through challenges together, celebrate wins together, and build something sustainable together.

Your Business Deserves to Shine

If you've been waiting for the "right time" to get serious about your marketing, this is it. Your business deserves to shine as bright as the passion and skill you pour into it every day.

The small business owners who thrive aren't necessarily the ones with the biggest budgets or the most natural marketing instincts. They're the ones who take focused action to build systems that work—and who surround themselves with a community that supports their growth.
