The mission of the CEO community is to create and build businesses the way we shape and build our lives: from the inside out. This process gives every creative entrepreneur autonomy over their work, their schedule and their business. We do this through mentorship, mastermind containers, networking events and recorded conversations that can be studied by generations to come. Lastly, providing resources and financial opportunities to the local creative community.

What are you waiting for? You have a legacy you were born to build!

My goal is to mentor and assist you to turn your talents into a thriving venture that fuels your creativity and transforms your life. My services are designed for the rebels and visionaries who see the value of living life on their terms and those who see the necessity of the art and fashion industries around the world.

My teachings are based on practical principles that any business owner can benefit from, but are specifically tailored to the needs and challenges of professional creatives. Ever Changing schedules, neurodivergence, multi-faceted skill sets and/or passions, spiritual cognizance are all factors that separate the creative entrepreneur from the average one. We learn differently, we think differently and we ARE different in a divine kind of way (;

Creatives are the glue that gives life meaning, emotion and memories. They are the writers, stylists, models, speakers, photographers, filmmakers, fashion designers, coaches of the world. We deserve the opportunity to thrive in business. 

Are you struggling to consistently hit your financial goals and don’t see the possibility of being full time? Do you want to have autonomy over your gifts and passions and work for yourself, on your own terms?

See what services I offer

What’s better than a mentor telling you what to do? One that's consistently using her own method in her OWN creative business. A business with exponential growth. I am the epitome of the methods I teach. I’ve been where you are– juggling self-doubt, fighting the limitations of neurodivergence, and navigating the complex world of freelancing and doing so without emotional or financial support. It’s what gives me the ability to keep my feet on the ground but my eyes to the sky. That balance is needed to persevere the journey.

My secret: fusing practical strategies with spiritual wisdom. Drawing from thought leaders like Joe DIspenza, Abraham Hicks and Les Brown, I tailor business blueprints and strategies from the inside out. I believe success starts with mindset, grows with confidence and skill, and blossoms when you let go of the outcome, and fall in love with your process. 

A “Proof is in the pudding” kind of mentor.
