What's inside

Real talk. No polish.

Every issue, a chapter of the journey. What worked, what didn't, and what's next.

Business experiments

What I tried, what failed spectacularly, and what quietly started to work. Including the numbers.

Motherhood + business

Finding direction

The messy process of figuring out what you actually want to build — and who you want to become.
