Wow. CNN.   Around Memorial Day I got an email from a producer at CNN saying she saw my Forbes piece and asked me if I was interested in filming for a segment called Start Small, Think Big. After a little LinkedIn research and a little shavasana, I responded YES.   I couldn't really believe any of it was real until I took a day off in the middle of the week to film and the producer and photojournalist showed up. Even after I wrapped filming and many celebratory palomas in hand, it didn't feel real.   On Saturday, it...

Can we discuss our branding journey? We’ve come a long way from gifting beta boxes to our friends in summer of 2019… To finally getting some packaging tape… To upgrading the packaging tape… To crowdfunding enough money to order printed Bad Day Box packaging! I know the importance of branding and maintaining its integrity. Once crowdfunding was completed in April, we started to explore the custom design.   First I had to select a vendor, this required a couple different quote requests. Unfortunately, a lot of vendors require a minimum so this really narrowed down my choices for the time...

It’s National Parks & Recreation month, and I couldn’t think of a better way to honor my favorite form of self-care than a backpacking trip to get that fresh mountain air and glacier water.  I’m a late bloomer to getting outdoors but I always look forward to these trips for the beauty and solace.  Nature provides so much healing by just existing!

Because of this, I wanted to take some time to share my 3 best tips for getting...

Friends & Family, 30 Days of Funding Complete! It is hard to believe this campaign is complete. I first talked to my friends about this idea in late February 2019. I created the bones of a brand to launch to close family and friends in December 2019, with intent to crowdfund in early 2020. It's been years in the making and I'm so grateful to have FINALLY shared it with you. Thanks to all 150 of you or so, this project reached the custom packaging goal! Kevin is working on box designs now and I'm excited to see what he creates. I will...
