JE1: Behind the Scenes is now Journal Entries

Oct 12, 2026
Let's Connect

I was inspired by a friend of mine who is currently writing daily, something called Nosey Notes. She just purchased a company (oh yeah, I wrote about her in the last volume). 

She's writing in a Google Doc, and anyone who she's shared it with one way or another can read her daily journals. It's genius, and I'm hooked. (I have it cause I'm one of her Lifetime Passholders, which means I get access to anything that she creates. 🤩

It got me thinking about this Behind the Scenes newsletter I started, where I only write when I'm inspired. And writing is just easier for me to do than videos a lot of the time. I would love to be able to vlog about my days, but like... that's a lot of work. Plus, I just really enjoy writing.

I don't know if I'm capable of writing daily, nor do I want to, but I thought it would be interesting documenting more of how I actually run my business and life. So I'm rebranding this particular newsletter to Journal Entries -- which I thought was a fun play on our profession. But people often ask me how I balance both businesses and life as a single mom. 

So with that, here's my first entry with the new format.

 

in this particular entry, I'll be sharing...

  • what a week of working on on a module of the Elevate revamp looks like
  • when I don't have my kids at home (50/50 custody)
  • random thoughts
  • my creative endeavors





JE 1 • October 5-11

 

10/5/26 - Monday

 

I always underestimate how long things will take me, even when I think I've budgeted enough time. 

 

It's Monday October 5th, the day I'm supposed to be releasing Module 3 of Elevate. 

I stayed up last night until nearly 2 am editing 3 videos.  And I still have 3 more to go and upload with the resources I'm fine tuning. 

...to keep reading, you'll need to be subscribed -- but for now, it's free ;)

JE4: when you're tired of thinking about something a lot, make a system for it.
Welcome to The Journal Entries: my way of sharing behind the scenes... that doesn't involve social media.  If you missed last week, you can read it here ->  If this is your first time reading this welcome! In my Live Q&A this week, I talked a bit about how I've been separating myself from Meta little by little, and this is the best way to keep in touch: by being on my email list.   in this part...
Vol. 10. Drowning, Procrastination, and Templated Help
  First of all, I’m writing this newsletter because I’m procrastinating on client work. I really should not be doing this, but when I’m inspired, I gotta run with it.   Inspiration usually hits at the most inconvenient times.   Also, it’s been a hotttt minute since I wrote one of these.   Last week I did something that caused a FLOOD into my inbox.   Each week when we publish a new podcast epis...
