Friends & Family,

Checking in from San Diego! It's been a month of quarantine and I know many of us are lamenting our former lives and future plans that are now suddenly on pause.

Realistically- the time, money and energy I spent on my Kickstarter video may never happen so I'm finding ways to continue building my brand.

I am still trying to build my follower base on social media and this newsletter so please continue to share, like and participate. You may have seen the Instagram story templates I am pushing out, weekly. I hope you use them as way to stay connected and tag us!

While some may define this time as our new normal, I want to remind you that it is temporary. I encourage you to find ways to keep yourself inspired.

Many of you know a lot of my "business education" is from my favorite podcast, How I Built This. I have been doing my best to watch their Facebook Live episodes to see how businesses are trying to balance their work alongside this pandemic. During the EO Products episode, Guy Raz asked my question and said my name and it made me SO happy! The things that make you that happy and motivated- I hope you can indulge in them.

Community and connection is so important right now and I love seeing all the creative ways we are supporting each other.
