Color Outside the Lines: Craft a Business that Sparks Joy.

For the creative souls who are done forcing themselves into little beige business boxes.

Real Talk Time ↓

Your business right now feels like trying to fit a fun carnival into a cubicle. You've got all this creative brilliance bursting to get out, but you're drowning in the "business-y" bullshit that everyone says you HAVE to do.

And let's be honest – you've tried:

  • Those pretty project management systems (that you opened twice)

  • The rigid scheduling blocks (that your brain laughed at)

  • The "professional" templates (that feel about as authentic as a plastic plant)

That constant tension between your creative genius and the "should-dos" that make you want to throw up?

Been there. Done that. Set the t-shirt on fire.

But then I discovered something that changed everything:

The problem isn't you – it's that you're trying to run your creative empire using someone else's rulebook

Our The Real Cost of Staying Stuck

Let's get brutally honest about
what "figuring it out later" is actually costing you:

  • Endless hours fighting with systems that weren't built for your brain

  • Revenue lost because your backend can't handle growth

  • Creative energy wasted on admin bullshit

  • The constant anxiety of trying to look "professional"

And let's be honest – you've tried:

  • Those pretty project management systems (that you opened twice)

  • The rigid scheduling blocks (that your brain laughed at)

  • The "professional" templates (that feel about as authentic as a plastic plant)

Here's the truth
You're not bad at business.
The system sucks and you need to build your own.

I hired Kathleen for consulting to help me pinpoint what were the issues with my business, and why I was literally losing money.

I felt lost and stuck and started feeling a bit out of love with the business I used to be so passionate about. The doubts I could succeed were creeping in, and I was even considering applying for a 9-5 job. Kathleen met with me and immediately found several significant problems with my business systems and helped me find practical and easy-to-implement solutions.

It was so worth the investment.
