The Email That Doesn’t Want Anything From You

Short letters of encouragement and creative insight from a friend in business.

After stepping back into the world of social media and online marketing after a 3-year hiatus, I quickly noticed how much I had changed in the way I plan to operate my creative business.

I think we are past the guru phase (thank God) of marketing tactics, but what I seem to be most drawn to in this season of business is authenticity, a little bit messy, and very honest people and content. What I’d like to offer in this space is encouragement.

I am an encourager by nature, and have so much of it to give after a season of desperately needing it myself. I have been in the professional creative space for 15 years, and I have a lot to say about the nature of being creative, running a business, and how those things can sometimes get in the way of each other.

In comes refresh...

❋ WHAT IS it?

My version of a newsletter but one that doesn't want anything from you. I will occasionally let you know at the bottom of the emails if I have any openings or availability, but the main purpose of Refresh is to be a refreshing email of encouragement and creative insight from a friend in business.

❋ Encouragement IS THE GOAL

I am an encourager by nature, and have so much of it to give after a season of desperately needing it myself. If you're a business owner reading this, I already think you're pretty awesome for being brave and building something meaningful to you. It's not a little thing. And many of you are doing it alone.

❋ Creative Life, Business Life

I have been in the professional creative space for 15 years, and I have a lot to say about the nature of being creative, running a business, and how those things can sometimes get in the way of each other.

❋ You're not alone

Most of us are navigating the same things. The self-doubt, the quiet seasons, the "am I doing this right?" moments. Refresh is a reminder that there are people out there just like you, figuring it out one day at a time. And you're doing better than you think.

I want Refresh to remind you that in the midst of all the chaos of the business world, there are people out there just like you, and you are not alone!
