To my Creative to CEO family, This wasn't an easy decision to make, but after some reflection, I've decided to temporarily suspend the Creative to CEO community. First, I want to say thank you. Thank you for trusting me, believing in my vision, and allowing me to be a small part of your journey as creative entrepreneurs. Over the past few months, it's been incredible watching so many of you grow, gain confidence, ask bigger questions, and start thinking like true CEOs. That has meant more to me than you know. At the same time, I also have to be honest with you. I know I haven't been able to give this community everything I originally envisioned, especially over the past month. When I created this space, I made a promise to show up with excellence, intention, and value. Right now, I know I'm not able to give you the level of leadership, coaching, and consistency that you deserve. And I never want you investing in something that isn't giving you everything I believe it should. Because of that, I've made the decision to suspend the community for now. Here's what that means: Your membership isn't going away. Every single one of you will remain in the community, and you'll always be grandfathered into whatever this community evolves into next. Your billing will be paused, and your monthly subscription will automatically revert to $0. You won't be charged going forward, but you'll continue to have access to all of the existing content inside the community. This isn't goodbye. We have some exciting ideas for what this space could become in the future, and I truly hope you'll stick around to be part of that next chapter when the time is right. Please know this: I am not giving up on my mission to teach, mentor, and help build the next generation of Creative CEOs. Right now, this CEO simply needs to take a temporary step back so I can make sure I'm showing up as the very best version of myself in every area of my life. I owe that to my family, my businesses, my community, and ultimately to all of you.

What do you need to let go of as it relates to your business so it and you can grow? Without realizing, we hold on to things that established us or have been there from the beginning and it has, to a degree, become our identity so we struggle with letting it go because we feel without it we don’t exist, but holding on to it separates us from greatness. Holding on to it keeps our growth stunted. Holding on to it now hurts. We’ve outgrown the size 2 shoe we’re holding on to and the larger size that brings relief, joy, peace and piece of mind doesn’t have space to reside because we won’t “Let it Go”. What do you need to let go of as it relates to your business so it and you can grow?

I pray each of you takes a moment today to pause, reflect, and thank God for how far you’ve already come. Looking around this community, I’m constantly inspired by the incredible talent, creativity, and determination that each of you brings to the table. One thing I know for sure: we’re not here by accident. Every lesson and I mean every lesson, every Boardroom session, every connection, every challenge, and every opportunity is preparing us for the next level. The doors in front of us may look different, but they’re all leading toward growth if we’re willing to stay consistent, keep learning, and continue showing up. Let’s remember that comparison has no place here. Someone else’s success doesn’t take away from yours. There’s room for all of us to build thriving businesses, serve our clients with excellence, and leave a lasting legacy. As we head into a new week, let’s choose faith over fear, action over procrastination, and progress over perfection. The opportunities ahead are bigger than we can imagine. God’s word say, Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and He will establish your plans. 🙌🏾 🙌🏾🙌🏾 Proverbs 16:3 Wishing everyone a peaceful Sunday and a productive, purpose filled week ahead. What is one goal you’re committed to accomplishing this week? I’d love to pray for you and cheer you on! I am a creative, but I am a prayer warrior first. Glory to the Most High!🙌🏾🙏🏽♥️♥️♥️

I found myself writing this in my business journey this morning after my Saturday business meeting with my husband. Sometimes we have to speak to ourselves and not yet speak to each other…. **ALL GAS. NO BRAKES.** Can I remind myself of something? Yes I sure can… Nobody wakes up one morning with a thriving business. Nobody. Behind every "overnight success" are years of second-guessing, late nights, invoices, rejected ideas, canceled orders, awkward launches, pricing mistakes, and wondering if you're just talking to yourself on social media. Welcome to entrepreneurship. Here's the truth: motivation is overrated. Discipline is what pays the bills. There will be days when you don't feel inspired. Create anyway. There will be days when nobody likes, comments on, or buys what you posted. Post anyway. There will be days when you question your pricing, your purpose, your business, and maybe even your sanity. Keep going anyway. Success doesn't usually belong to the smartest person in the room. It often belongs to the one who stayed in the room the longest. Stop waiting to "feel ready." Your business doesn't care about your feelings, it responds to your actions. Want more clients? Have more conversations. Want more sales? Make more offers. Want more opportunities? Become more visible. You can't network from your couch. You can't grow a business by hiding. And perfection has probably cost more entrepreneurs money than failure ever has. Let's be honest... Some days you'll feel like a CEO. Other days you'll Google, "Can I survive on ramen for another week?" Both can happen in the same month. Don't let social media fool you. Most businesses aren't built with viral moments, they're built with ordinary Tuesdays, showing up when no one's clapping, solving problems, and doing the work nobody posts about. Celebrate your wins, but don't camp there. Learn from your losses, but don't live there. The goal isn't to never fail. The goal is to fail forward, fail smarter, and fail less often because you kept learning.

This is something I say often to myself and a conversation I have often with my partner. I just want to share it with you all and hope it encourages us. I know I needed to remind myself of this… The dream we started with is still worth chasing. Whether we’re building from scratch, pivoting our business, landing our first client, or scaling to our next level, progress is still progress. Every conversation, every lesson, every setback, and every small win is shaping the business into what it is meant to be! Keep showing up. Keep learning. Keep creating. Your breakthrough may be one decision, one connection, or one opportunity away. Cheering everyone on. Let's keep building. 💪
