The tools we use in life and business are meant to give us the power to work smarter, not harder. Whether you are just beginning your business or looking for better ways to elevate your process so you have more time for yourself and the ones you love, here is my list and they come with discounts!
Honeybook: I am a founding member from the very beginning I knew they were the Goat of customer service management, and their quick and easy support is amazing. Everything I need in one place, contracts, inquiry forms, proposals, appointment scheduling, instant booking, email communication. The best part of their business model is that they are always listening to us, last year I asked for instant booking to offer my clients the ability to book without back and forth and they implemented it! 25% off your first year with this link: https://share.honeybook.com/gbWP6
Pic-Time: My source for sharing photo galleries with clients, it’s all online so it makes for easy viewing, sharing, and downloads and they are tapped in with the best photo printing labs across the Nation so buying prints, canvas, albums, and cards are easy and fast delivered right to their home.

Squarespace: I am the Queen of websites, I believe that it is actually important to have autonomy over your web presence. You can have the link trees, social media pages, and email lists, but where is your home space online that defines your core values and offerings you have to share with the world? It lives on your dot com. Squarespace is a one-stop shop for making that happen, you can even buy your (website name/domain) through them. You know I care about aesthetics, when your website is designed well it lets your audience and buyer trust in the quality of your offering. For educators and coaches selling programs, I love that they have recently added a membership offering that allows you to build out your classes, upload videos, and such. I tried their competitors over the years, but now one does it like they do as well as they do. Recently they let us in on a sneak peek of how AI will soon be available to literally design your pages for you. Amazing you guys!! I don’t have a discount code to offer, but I have helped many other businesses design their sites and I’m happy to help.
Mindfulness:
Creating an environment that feels link abundance is key when you are sitting down to dream, plan, and get focused on your business I love to tap into this playlist:
Infinite Abundance 888 is free on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/album/5WAnpM0aerOsqu7EO8eOyy
Guided Higher Self Meditation: The most powerful tool I have implemented into my life for clarity and direction is to make space for 1-hour of meditation in the morning and at night. If you haven’t cultivated a practice for yourself it is the highest gift you can give to your life.
iPhone Apps:
VSCO for photo and video color correction and editing.
Splice for video editing, though recently I have been using Tiktok or Instagram for editing as the algorithm loves you to spend more time in their apps and favors their fonts used over outside apps.
