Welcome friends,

In case you can't tell, I have a passion for small businesses! 

I am a Christian, love to work out every day and live a healthy lifestyle. Beaches and sunrises make my heart melt :) What many people don't know about me is that my first job was as a checker at Wal-Mart.  😍

My greatest joys in life have been experienced as a wife and a mother.

I have a wonderful husband, David,  who is an outdoorsman, works in technology - and is one of the best humans on this earth :) My three children are beyond my wildest dreams - they each bring something so special to this world and am so proud to hear them call me "Mom." My oldest, Lexi, is in college at the University of Oklahoma, my son Grayson is a senior in high school and my baby is Ava in 6th grade.

I grew up in Texas most of my life and am a Texan tried & true! After graduating high school, I attended Baylor University for 2 years then transferred to the University of Texas (Hook'em Horns!) and graduated with a BBA in Marketing.

In 2000 a friend and I started In This Very Room hosting pop-up shops around Austin, TX selling home accessories, decor & baby gifts.

In 2003, I took the business online  - selling more kids' items and personalized blankets, etc. It evolved into personalized gifts only like cutting boards, baby gifts, backpacks, nap mats, soaps & more. (We shipped over 100,000 items over the years - which is crazy to imagine thinking this was built out of my home!) I had no idea this business would sustain for 18 years.

In 2005 I started KidsAreFansToo.com selling all kinds of collegiate-themed baby gifts like onesies, blankets, pacifiers, crib bedding, etc for teams like University of Texas, Florida, Clemson, Michigan and MANY more! 

It was a booming business for so many years and still can't believe the success it had over the 12 years.

In 2008 I started a photography business taking portraits of kids and families!

I loved this experience so much and photographed families for about 3 years. Eventually it just got too much with my online businesses so slowly stopped booking so many session.  Looking back at the meaningful portraits others let me take of them is truly heartwarming and fulfilling. 

Then in 2018 I decided that I wanted to embark on a new journey of impacting others' lives through a business of mine, I just didn't know which business. 

So, I closed my 2 online stores. It was hard but it was time. 

I knew I wanted to do something that allowed me to use my God-given gifts for something bigger.  It took me some time to get a grip on what I wanted to be doing with my life, now that my oldest was in college, and middle child was in high school. 

I went through a full personal discovery process that lead me to where I am today - and I couldn't be happier!

My first step was starting the She's Just Getting Started Podcast - which was a WHOLE new venture and has been so exciting! 

So in 2020 I started this coaching business to help women like you make money doing what you love too.

My prayer is that YOU too have enough courage, confidence & vision to take those first steps, start your business, & build it your way. You too can enjoy a fulfilling career for years to come.

Please don't ever forget that you, YES YOU TOO, have God-given gifts that can make a difference in this world.

I'm so honored to be a small part of your big journey,
