I help you organize your brain and business so you can turn your ideas into journals and so much more!
I believe that mindfulness is the key to living a life full of intention, self-awareness, and growth that allows us to take action from a place of ease rather than constant hustle.
In the first year of self-publishing I sold 475 copies of my journals and planners resulting in over $4700 in sales. And while the money is nice, it was always about something bigger.
Creating the Mindful Productivity Guide & The Daily Productiivty & Brain Dump Book has allowed me to help people live more mindfullly productive lives, which is my biggest mission in my business.
If you decide to join me inside Publish with Purpose, I'll help you to do the same thing, bring your ideas to the hands and minds of the people who need them!
