The corporate world wasn’t built for neurodiverse, disabled, chronically ill folks, parents, or caregivers… so, like, most of the population. We need to intentionally create an economy that honors different capacities, energy levels, and life circumstances. Success shouldn’t be reserved for the few who can hustle hardest. It should be flexible, sustainable, and within reach for everyone.

I believe in building relationships, not fences. We’re all better off when we share ideas, celebrate each other’s wins, and support one another’s growth. The online space is big enough for all of us, and the more we collaborate, the stronger this community becomes. When one of us wins, we all do.

You know how appliances used to last 30+ years and now you’re lucky if your blender makes it through the week? I still believe things should be made like that—with care and craftsmanship. I’m always asking, How can I make this better? and encouraging others to do the same. Because quality builds trust and trust builds businesses.

The most successful business owners are forever students—always observing, always learning, always asking questions. I believe in following those questions, experimenting boldly, and embracing the messy process of figuring things out. That’s where the magic happens.
