The weekend Nick met me he told me he loved me and I was like 😳🤯 I’m so lucky to get the love Nick gives. Nobody I’d rather do life with. Can’t wait to marry you in 226 days! 👰🏼 photo magic 📸 @whitleymcdonald
The prettiest guides I had the pleasure of designing for @bonniejoymarie brands. I absolutely loved the gorgeous images and type from the brand standards and it was such a treat to make sure these guides stayed within the beautiful standards 💫
My workspace for the day 💫🤩👩🏼‍💻🙌🏻😻👌🏻 and if you’re wondering why this space looks so much better....it’s the fab pillows from @staggdesign 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 legit cried happy tears when they arrived and gave them some hugs 🤗 Swipe to see what it looked like when we bought the house...definitely not finished but it looks wayyyyy better and brighter 😉
The perfect words landed in my inbox this morning from a daily email series from my dad. Today I am showing up and taking up my space. You have to admit, to a certain extent, you have spent too much of your life thinking too little of yourself. Trying to become smaller. Quieter. Less sensitive. Less opinionated. Less needy. Less YOU. Because you felt broken, and you didn’t want to be too much or push people away. You wanted to fit in. You wanted people to like you. You wanted to make a good impression. You wanted to be wanted. So you could feel healed. And so for years, you talked down to yourself, and sacrificed your peace of mind for the sake of making other people happy. And for years, you suffered. But you’re tired of suffering, and you’re done thinking you aren't good enough just the way you are. Right? Good! It’s not your job to change who you are in order to become someone else’s idea of a worthwhile human being. You are worthwhile. Not because other people think you are, but because you are breathing your own air, and therefore you matter. Your truth matters. Your feelings matter. Your voice matters. And with or without anyone’s approval or permission, you must be who you are and live your truth. Even if it makes people turn their heads. Even if it makes them uncomfortable. Even if they choose to leave. Even if your own confidence in yourself has been shaken! The real battle is in your mind. And your mind is under your control, not the other way around. You may have been broken down by adversity or rejection or stress, but YOU are not broken. So don’t let others convince you otherwise. And don't let your mind get the best of you either. Heal yourself by refusing to belittle yourself. Choose to take up a lot of positive space in your own life today. Choose to give yourself permission to meet your own needs. Choose to honor your feelings and emotions. Choose to make self-love and self-care top priorities… Choose to think better about yourself, so you can live better in spite of yourself. But, of course, as I'm sure you're aware, that's sometimes much easier said than done. Thinking better takes guidance and practice. by Angel Chern
Preach 🙌🏻 I talked about this a bit on my stories yesterday and you can probably still catch the end of it but as I was getting ready to take the leap and go full-time I had this huge voice in my head that told me I could not do it. I wake up every morning and show up to silence the fear because I am doing it. On the day I went full-time I read through old blog post drafts of mine from years I was really struggling and the common thread through them all was the belief that I would never be able to do this full-time. The turning point for me this year was I truly started to believe in my value, in my services, and most importantly in myself. And that mindset shift was everything that I needed to make it happen.

build a life that's even more beautiful than the brand you've built.
