One of the most awaited days of the year for me is finally here… 🥳 The 2026 launch!

We’ve been dreaming up these covers since April! and it’s SO hard for me to keep them secret until launch day. 😬 If you know me, you know I’m not a patient person, so this moment is always extra special!

This marks 6 years of working with Heather on Sprouted Planner cover designs. Over these years, we’ve not only grown our businesses but also navigated motherhood side by side… cheering each other on through every milestone and building a friendship along the way. 💗Creating these planners together has truly been a gift, because it’s so much more than the planners themselves, it’s the bond and friendship we’ve built along the journey. 🥹

Congratulations, Heather, on another beautiful launch! and thank you for trusting me year after year. 🫶🏼🫶🏼 Your intentionality and heart shine through in everything you do, and I’m so grateful for our friendship and the chance to build something meaningful together. 🌱

A portion of all profits go to the ALS Association, making these planners even more impactful. ✨

Go support and get your 2026 planner now so you’re ready to make next year your best yet! 🎉

Which cover design is your favorite this year? 👇🏼
Flower Child, Sea Glass, Daisy Blue, Lemon Drop or Moody Blooms

Featuring a brand that’s so close to my ❤️🌈
Not many people know this, but my very first online business idea was teaching arts & crafts to kids, hugely inspired by the amazing Laura from Colourful Minds 😍 (I still want to do what Laura does when I grow up!)

Back then, I loved making art and crafts with Lennon, who was just 3–4 years old. I discovered a big online community of art educators from all over the world, and that’s where I met Laura. 😊

I’ve been inspired ever since by her creativity, her love of teaching, and her totally unique style. I adore her bold use of color and how she can turn a simple piece of cardboard 📦 into a masterpiece!

If you’re in Bristol, UK 🇬🇧, Colourful Minds offers creative activities, art clubs, parties, and workshops for kids. Not in the UK like me? No worries! 😉 You can still enjoy her magic through her online Make Your Own shop or follow her prompts here on Instagram.

I had the pleasure of meeting Laura IRL back in 2019 at Paddington Station 🐻 where we spent the day exploring the Natural History Museum, and then again just last week over a lovely dinner in Bath, UK!

My favorite part of this journey? Hands down the people I meet along the way. Strangers who become friends, friends who become clients, clients who become friends… and everything in between. 🥰

Feeling like your online presence isn’t hitting the mark? 🤔 You’re not alone — one of the biggest questions I hear is, “Do I need a full rebrand or just a website refresh?”

A Rebrand goes deeper than a new logo. It’s about redefining your visuals, messaging, and positioning so your business shows up as the brand you’re becoming, not the one you started with.

A Website Refresh focuses on improving your digital storefront: design, user experience, copy, and performance, without overhauling your entire identity.

Your brand is your foundation.
Your website is your showcase.

Start with the one that’s holding you back the most.

Need help deciding? That’s exactly what I do! Let’s chat about your next step. 💌

Last week I got to meet Laura from for dinner at Cappadocia in Bath, UK 🇬🇧 🌙

In my last post I shared one of the dearest brands to me, but now I want to show you the woman behind all of it. 💗 Laura’s warmth and heart are just as vibrant as the art she inspires.

We spent the evening catching up since the last time we met three years ago, talking about life and everything in between. As always, it’s never enough time… and then the rain started and a rainbow appeared right behind Laura 🌈✨ Pure magic.

I always say some of the best people live on the internet, and getting to meet them IRL is one of the greatest gifts of this journey. Friendships like these are what I treasure most. 🥰

Last week I had the joy of spending an unforgettable week in London at Morepalooza with my design mentor, Mike Janda. 🥰✨

Getting to finally hug and meet so many incredible creatives from MCA (More Creative Academy) and the amazing panelists in person, explore London together, and learn alongside them was such a gift.

Mike, thank you for going before us and paving the way, you truly attract the kindest, most generous humans. 💛

This trip gave me more than I even realized I needed, and I’m beyond grateful for the chance to learn from such inspiring, generous people!

Ever come home from something inspiring… and crash straight into overwhelm?

I came back from a design retreat overflowing with ideas, energy, and goals, and then reality hit. 🙈 My inbox was full, deadlines were waiting, and life was still doing its thing. Suddenly, all that inspiration turned into overwhelm and I’ve been feeling every feeling at once. 🥴

Right now, I’m in a funk. But instead of pushing it away, I’m reminding myself to embrace the funk… to give myself grace while I catch up, sort through the ideas, and let everything settle.

Because sometimes the messy middle is where the best growth starts. 🍄

One of my favorite parts of running my business is meeting amazing humans online and then finally getting to hug them in real life. I met Shoshana Bloom in a mastermind… and wow! ✨ She’s one of those people whose light you can instantly feel. When she talks about what she does, you just know it’s her calling.

Fast forward to London last week: we grabbed breakfast at Dishoom (one of my trip highlights!) and I left feeling so inspired. Shoshana has this calm-yet-energizing presence that’s rare and so needed right now.

She’s a coach and facilitator who helps helpers, leaders, teams, change-makers, move through burnout, overwhelm and imposter syndrome. Her style is warm, empathetic and zero “shoulds.”

She creates safe spaces to drop the shame, get curious about what’s really going on, and build a plan that actually works for you. Whether it’s her “Break Glass in Case of Emergency” sessions, Stress Mapping, or 1:1 coaching, she brings deep listening, practical tools and real results. She’s the real deal. 💛

If you’ve been feeling stretched thin or spinning your wheels, check her out: So grateful I get to know you, Shoshana! 🤗💕

When the Duty Free Harrods lady says she loves my Harry Styles bag and I say “me too! 🥰”
…then she wishes me a great flight and I automatically reply “you too!” 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

Leaving this work trip with such a grateful heart 💜 So thankful for the chance to finally meet inspiring people I’d only known online. IRL really is something special. 🤗
