Confession: I’m not much for small talk.

I mean, I can do it. If I must.

The weather these days, amirite?

But I’d MUCH rather overshare personal details and my latest weird thoughts. (Check out the rest of the site if you don't believe me.)

You too? Awesome.

We’re gonna get along great!

So come on in!

This is my office. On a “clean-ish” day.

Usually there’s more clutter.

Until there’s so much it eventually drives me nuts, I clean it all up, keep it that way for MAYBE 48 hours and then the clutter accumulation cycle starts again.

I used to think that meant there was something fundamentally wrong with me.

Keeping things tidy is something competent people do, right?

Messy space means a messy mind and all that.

But you know what?

There’s nothing wrong with having a messy mind.

Mine is messy. And it comes up with some amazing ideas... like this G.O.A.T. of a goat hat I made.

(It also comes up with some weird ones. And some clunkers. But I don’t think that’s because of the mess. Not every idea can be a winner.)

But one of my ideas is more of a truism:

Duct tape is not a business operations strategy

I'm a big fan of duct tape. It's super useful. But it shouldn't be (metaphorically) holding your business together.

But that's often what happens to small businesses.

Maybe this sounds familiar...

A problem crops up, so you find something that works to fix it. You know it's just a temporary fix, but...

Then another problem crops up and you fix that.

Maybe it coordinates with the previous fix, maybe not. Who has time to figure all that out? This fix is just temporary, too. You'll deal with it later.

And the cycle continues...

Duct tape placed over a crack in the road

One of the things I loved about my career in civil engineering was having to understand not only what a project needed immediately but what it would need later.

The last thing you want to happen is to redo a bunch of work when the community expands.

But that's what exactly happens when your business operations aren't organized...

You're ready to grow and you realize none of that mess will get you where you need to go.

To me, balancing those needs and making everything work is super fun. (Have I mentioned my nerd-tendencies.)

I can help you design your business infrastructure in a way that works for what you need right now and for where you want to go.

And, because I have ADHD, I do it with one overarching belief...

Your business operations don't have to be a soul-sucking drag

But part of the reason they feel like one is because most business "solutions" were never designed for neurodivergent people.

Or, really, for anyone who doesn’t fit a particular outdated (and boring) mold.

I can help break you that mold.

(Breaking stuff is fun.)

Wanna join me in building something better?

Awesome. See? I KNEW you were cool!

So where are you in your mold-smashing journey?

I'm curiously exploring

You like the idea of having a business, but you can't quite start yet.

My stories and tips about running a business as a mom with an ADHD (and perimenopausal) brain and an ADHD kid will show you what it's like.

Hilarious AND informative. And not spammy.

I want the emails!

I have a business (but it's taking over my life!)

It's no fun having a business and no life.

It's so easy to feel overwhelmed with the stuff you need and want to do.
