This year was also hugely transformative for my business. I made a promise to myself at the beginning of the year that I’d commit to growth, so I did, and it did. I learned to treat Shore Society as a separate entity from myself, which was a perspective shift that gave me a clearer vision for going forward.

Meg from Upspeak was a pleasure to chat with, and as a business coach, she just gets it. We chat about how I started Shore Society, who inspires me, and how I find time for Netflix and face masks ;)

When it comes to my promoting and growing my business, Instagram has been my favorite social platform. I love the ability to share with visuals, network with other makers, and get my daily dose of inspiration all in the same place.

Another topic many of you asked about was tools/apps/software for both blogging and business. The ones on this list are all simple, but I use them every day and they make my life so. much. easier.
