Your story creates connections, trust, and buy in. 💗📖

So are you sharing it?

For each prompt, I outlined three options: reel, photo, or carousel. Pick which feels the most doable for you.

I also give a lil background on why it works if you wanna get nerdy with me. 🤓

Which one will you try??!?

We want a well-rounded human life - not to be cogs in your freaking machine.

Yet why are there so few jobs that prioritize community engagement and really understand parental responsibilities ??

One answer: the world wasn’t built for us.

This goes for women, q***r folks, and neurodivergent peeps too.

🩷 This photo is me volunteering at an elementary carnival - with a traditional job, it’d probably be difficult to get time off to volunteer.

Not to mention traditional jobs completely exhausted me and I wouldn’t really be thinking about volunteering. As someone with ADHD and anxiety, it drained my energy to be stuck at a desk or surrounded by people all day every day.

But look at how cheerful I am in this pic? Look at me having fun! And happy to be there!

What I love about entrepreneurship is it gives us the opportunity to CREATE our own path in a world that wasn’t designed with us in mind. That doesn’t mean it comes without risk or difficulties.

That’s what motivates me to provide support for people making their own way in the world - to help small businesses and organizations succeed - to provide the lifestyle, impact, and development that so many of us crave.

I was underemployed for years so I could be there while my child was growing up. And it felt like there was no place for me to grow and develop - there were lots of low-paying jobs with zero upward mobility. Not gonna lie, I really thought I didn’t have talents or ambition or that there was something wrong with me.

Finally I had the courage to believe and invest in myself. And damn, if that isn’t one of the best things I ever did.

Entrepreneurship for lifestyle. For impact. For good.

A quote that’s made a powerful impact in how I think about goals!

A quote that’s made a powerful impact in how I think about goals!

Hi, I'm Kathleen Haney from MadeUp Media. A quote that inspires me is, "You have to standardize before you can optimize." said by James Clear in his book Atomic Habits.

The reason I find this quote so helpful is it's easy to get focus on the desired outcome of a goal, but it's more important to focus on the process it takes to get there - to make it a standard part of life before reaching peak performance. This quote supports my wellbeing because it reminds me that I don't have to achieve everything all at once. I can take one step at a time and figure out the rest later.

So, ask yourself: how I can I take one small step in the right direction this week?

Yes, to creating space for wellbeing - for stopping to smell the roses.

And by “smell the roses” I really mean is pause and notice beauty and reconnect to the world and ourselves through our senses. To take a moment to just BE.

In this case, it was sitting beside a dahlia the size of my head in the evening after an outdoor yoga session. Instead of rushing off to the next thing, I let myself dilly dally amongst the blooms. Gorgeous and thriving right now but sure to be on their way out as the seasons change.

Striving helps us grow! Accomplishing is satisfying! But there’s also something to be said for taking a pause to appreciate or to reflect. We don’t get time back and when we go go go, we can miss beautiful moments right in front of us.

By supporting small businesses and organizations in our community, I don’t JUST want to help them be successful in the long term. I want them to find more peace and ease and time to focus on what really matters.

What makes you stop and pause? What’s your version of smelling the roses?
