On a personal note
It was an honor to be Amy McGee’s guest on Episode 3 of the BB+ Podcast. I’ve known Amy for several years now and I can honestly say she is simply one of the best people. Period.
Not just one of the best floral design advocates.
Not just one of the best industry resources.
One of the best people on this planet.
And I’m proud to call her a friend.
And I’m ridiculously proud to be invited to serve as a resource for the Botanical Brouhaha podcast listeners in this episode.
Thanks for all you do for the industry, Amy, and thank you for your constant support of the work I do. In both small and big ways Amy always lets me know that what I do in the floral world actually matters…and there’s no way to express my heartfelt gratitude for that continued support!
Make sure to subscribe to the BB Podcast wherever you get your podcasts to show your support of this incredible resource and catch up with any episodes you may have missed.

Entrepreneurship isn’t for the faint of heart, and if you’re going to mom and business at the same time, things aren’t going to be easy. But nobody ever said it would be easy, did they? Because nobody told me that motherhood would be a cakewalk…and I certainly knew how much my business demanded of me before jumping into the full-time job title, “mom”.
I’m committed to multiple passions. My business needs me…and my family needs me…and I need me, too.
Sometimes you have to give things up for “other things” that are important to you.
Sometimes you have to sacrifice in ways you wish you didn’t.
Sometimes you don’t know how strong you are until you try.
It’s a constant process to develop good work habits, find ways to focus, and be more present in an attempt to create balance.
Click to watch a replay of my live chat “Mom Talk” from Nov. 2018 including a cameo appearance by my kid:
Streamlining my sales systems to save time and maximize my profitability were essential to surviving my transition from solo-preneur to mom-preneur.
Remember: It’s not always easy, but you can do it!
Moms are tough.
Move through the tough.
Rest when you need to.
Ask for (and accept) help.
Learn to appreciate what you’re doing well!
