Let’s GEEK out for a sec

Did you know creativity literally changes your brain?

Every time you create, whether you’re painting, designing, brainstorming, or even rearranging your living room, your brain releases dopamine, the same feel-good chemical you get when you fall in love or eat chocolate.

No wonder creating feels so good; it’s your brain saying, “Yes, more of this, please!”

And here’s a wild one:

research shows that ambient noise (around 70 decibels) like the hum of a café or the rhythm of rainfall can actually boost creative thinking. It helps your brain wander just enough to make new, unexpected connections.

Plus, if you’re a night owl, you might have a creative edge. Studies show that those late-night thinkers often score higher on creative problem-solving and abstract thinking.

(So the next time inspiration strikes at midnight, roll with it!)

And don’t sleep on doodling. It’s not just something you do when you’re bored, it actually helps spark ideas, improve focus, and enhance memory. Every sketch, squiggle, or mind map helps your brain make new connections.

Here’s the truth: creativity isn’t about being an artist, it’s about being alive and curious.

It’s about exploring, experimenting, and letting your imagination stretch beyond the edges of what’s familiar.

The more you play, the more your ideas flow.

So permit yourself to daydream, to experiment, to make a mess, that’s where the magic begins.

✨ Stay curious. Keep creating. Watch what unfolds.

Armistice

Today a bell will toll for me,
Of a truce, a truce for thee,
For on this day, peace will reign,
A peace that I won’t see again,

To you, I give this peace to hold,
To ensure this story can be told,
Of men who fought on Flanders fields,
Who gave their lives and didn’t yield,

For over the top, we all did go,
Pressing forward, towards our foe,
Thinking of those we’ll leave behind,
As we push forward, side by side,

And yet in battle I think of you,
Of my children’s, children,
And the future for you ,
For if in battle I do fall,
Remember me, to one and all,

For I know not when,
When peace will run true,
For I gave my life,
I gave it for you,

So when this war’s over,
And peace once reigns true,
Remember what we did ,
To give peace back to you.

Branding is a lot like nomadic living.

You have to adapt and evolve and with every new adventure, you grow and expand.

Every shift whether it’s a new season, direction, or version of you teaches you something about what truly works, what feels aligned, and what no longer fits.

As someone who’s lives a nomadic life on the road, I’ve learned that change isn’t something to fear, it's a call to expand.

The same goes for your brand.
Your brand isn’t meant to stay still.

It’s meant to move with you, reflect your growth, and evolve as you do.

Because the moment you stop evolving, your brand stops resonating.

So let it grow.
Let it change.
Let it breathe with you.

Your brand’s evolution is proof that you’re becoming.

If you’re ready to evolve your brand, stop DIY-ing and start aligning. My Designer in Your Back Pocket service gives you expert guidance whenever you need it throughout the month so your brand can grow as beautifully as you do.

Ever notice how some brands just feel magnetic?

That’s no accident, that's the power of branding done right. It’s not just about the visuals, it’s about how your business feels to the people who experience it.

Because branding is energy.
It's an emotion.
It’s the connection that happens before a single word is even read.

And when you blend that with creativity that’s where the magic happens.

Colour increases brand recognition by up to 80%.

→ People remember brands faster and more clearly when colours are used consistently.

So next time you’re building your brand don’t chase perfection.

Chase expression.
Chase connection.
Chase that feeling that makes you light up inside.

Because that’s what people remember, not the logo, not the layout… but the energy behind it.

Now tell me what sparks your creativity most?

Your brand can’t shine if you’re hiding behind it.

Here’s the thing: you can have the most beautiful branding, the best offers, and the smartest strategy in the world…

but if you’re not showing up as yourself, it’ll always feel like something’s missing.

Authenticity is what gives your brand a heartbeat. ❤️

It’s the unfiltered, honest, perfectly imperfect energy that makes people stop scrolling and say, “I feel that.”

When you show up as the real, evolving, still-figuring-it-out you your message hits deeper. Your content connects stronger. Your business starts attracting the kind of clients who get you, because they can feel you.

No pretending. No polishing yourself into something you’re not.

Just the truth. Presence. Confidence in your own flavor of magic.

Because when you’re aligned with who you are, your brand doesn’t just stand out it radiates.

So take a deep breath today and remember:
You don’t need to be more.
You just need to be you.

Let’s connect if you are looking find alignment and elevate your brand.

I say this with love I spent years stuck in my own head, overthinking every detail and talking myself out of starting because I didn’t feel ready. I told myself I needed more clarity, more confidence, more time. But here’s the truth I learned the hard way…

Clarity comes through action, not before it.
The faster you start, the faster you learn what actually works.

You don’t find your voice by thinking about it you find it by using it.

You don’t build momentum by planning you build it by moving.

And yes, it’ll feel messy at times. You’ll question yourself. You’ll make mistakes. But those are the exact moments that shape your growth and strengthen your intuition.

So if you’ve been sitting on an idea, a dream, or a next step… this is your reminder: start. Even if it’s imperfect. Even if it’s small.

And as you do protect your energy like it’s your profit margin.

Because it is. Your energy is your most valuable resource. When you protect your peace, your creativity flows. When you protect your time, your purpose expands.

Start messy. Stay grounded. Protect your energy.
That’s where the real magic unfolds. 🌿💛

Let’s Talk About the Power of Colour in Your Brand 🌿

Colour isn’t just decoration, it’s communication.

Before someone even reads a single word of your content, your colours are already speaking. They’re whispering emotions, setting the tone, and shaping the way your brand feels in the hearts and minds of your audience.

Think about it: every colour triggers a mood, memory, or energy shift. That’s why choosing your brand palette with intention is one of the most powerful moves you can make.

💛 Yellow – radiates confidence, optimism, and creativity. It’s like sunshine in brand form perfect for businesses that inspire joy, playfulness, or fresh ideas.

💙 Blue – evokes calm, trust, and dependability. It’s often used by brands that want to create a sense of stability, peace, and professionalism.

❤️ Red – sparks energy, passion, and bold action. It’s attention-grabbing, full of movement and emotion, great for brands that are fiery and fearless.

🌿 Green – symbolizes growth, renewal, and harmony. It carries a balance perfect for brands rooted in transformation, nature, or holistic well-being.

🖤 Black – speaks to elegance, sophistication, and strength. It’s powerful and timeless, adding a sense of authority and luxury.

🌸 Pink – embodies softness, compassion, and feminine energy yet can shift to bold empowerment depending on tone and contrast.

When we see colour, our brains connect it to feeling. That’s why your brand colours should align not just with what looks “pretty” but with how you want people to experience your brand.

Ask yourself - What emotions do I want people to feel when they land on my page?
Do my colours match the energy and transformation I bring?
How do these tones align with my story and values?

Because your brand isn’t just a logo or a feed aesthetic, it’s a vibe.

And your colour palette is one of the strongest ways to communicate that vibe without saying a word.

When your colours align with your soul and story, your brand feels magnetic, like everything just clicks. That’s when people not only remember your visuals, but they also feel your message.

So, what story are your colours telling right now?

Are they capturing the essence of you, or is it time for a refresh that truly reflects your growth and energy?

Feeling the shift in the air? Your brand might be ready for one too.

For those who don’t know, we live nomadically in our RV full-time here in Ontario, and this is our 4th fall on the road. After the heat and hustle of summer, those crisp, frosty mornings and cozy nights curled up with a blanket are so welcome.⁣

There’s something magical about this season; it’s the perfect reminder that change is natural, and growth comes in cycles.⁣

Just like the trees release what no longer serves them, your brand sometimes needs to shed outdated visuals, offers, or energy that don’t feel aligned anymore.⁣

Fall invites us to pause, refresh, and prepare for what’s next to create space for new inspiration and fresh direction.⁣

So if your brand has been feeling a little “stuck,” maybe it’s not a setback…

maybe it’s just your season shifting. ⁣

Here’s to cozy creative energy,
slow mornings,
and brands that evolve beautifully with the seasons.⁣

🫶 What season do you feel your brand is in right now: growth, pause, pruning, or renewal?⁣

If you’re ready to level up but not quite sure how to get your brand feeling crisp and aligned again, DM me, let’s see what kind of magic we can create together. ⁣

Cameron is almost 18 months old and these past few weeks have been a ride. 😅

Teething is back in full swing, which basically means our usual routine packed its bags and left town.

Naps? Random.
Meals? Hit or miss.
Coffee? Non-negotiable. ☕️

But even through the long days his laugh and that cheeky little grin remind me daily just how resilient we really are. 💛

It’s wild how much business mirrors motherhood unpredictable, demanding, and yet so full of heart.

Living nomadically has taught me that flexibility isn’t a flaw... it’s a superpower.

Some seasons you’re building, others you’re just holding it together and honestly, both count. Both matter.

To every entrepreneur, business owner, and mama out there doing your best in the middle of beautiful chaos I see you, I feel you, and I’m cheering you on.

Big hugs,
Colleen 🤍
