My guest says it so well...
I'm that person that can relate to anyone. I'm determined to make everyone my friend, although after 30 I learned the value of quantity over quality. I was that girl that was bullied by so many so I'm still always trying to fit in.
I want to do so by being of value and helping others. I really get true joy in helping others. I gain such a better version of myself with planning and I want others to share that experience. I started off making a local planner group to have more meaningful relationships with women. So we can talk about things other than me complimenting their jewelry or clothes. I really wanted to help them become better versions of themselves, have an artistic expression and girl time.
They pushed me to share my creativity online and that's where planning a better me came from. When I finally got the courage to post and create an Instagram account, I knew I wanted to eventually turn it into a brand. I studied user names and I saw that many were the person's name and plans and my name is too long for that. So I looked at ones where they had what they were planning like chaotic life or canceled plans. I thought about what I'm planning and my purpose and I realized it's a better me. We are always talking about being better versions of ourselves and without a plan how do we accomplish that. I did a thorough search and found no one else was using it online and so I made it mine. Being active on social media helps keep me accountable and from not giving up. Being a PR girl also keeps me accountable.
I'm an Interior and Graphic Designer and one of the avenues of my business is branding design for small businesses. I love that I can help women to support their families and make their dreams come true. I love finding women I connect with and helping them improve and market their business image. This was a perfect transition to being a PR girl. I love these women! We talk about business ideas and personal life and I really want to help them get sales. I don't want to be a salesy page so I try to make my posts informative and more tutorials than showing off hauls.
I told you I love connections and I wanted to build a positive and helpful brand so I started an Instagram talk show, which is on break right now and starting up again in January. I needed a break for me but I love chatting about useful topics and working on projects with phenomenal women.
Other things big in my life worth talking about are my husband having a heart transplant which was an experience that never ends, my love of self-care Sundays, being an on-call nanny which helps my desire to have children since I cannot with what's going on with my husband and my constant reorganizing and decluttering my life and hope trying to achieve success at being a better me.
