You can build a really successful (and profitable) business in 15 hours a week, you just have to know how (and we are going to show you). We interview amazing ladies who share their struggles and successes as well as solo episodes where I guide you through our Nurture to Convert System designed to help Boss Moms raise their business and babies at the same time.

They educate thousands of creative entrepreneurs (just like you) through our 180+ blog posts, free online workshops and the Strategy Academy. They strive to create a path to achieving your goals.

They are about helping businesses become brands that make a difference. They’ll give you the kick in the butt you’ve been needing to grow your business, simplify and streamline your life.

Emylee is the brand strategist, photographer and house plant hoarder at Think Creative Collective.

That led her into the online space with educational webinars and courses when she met Abagail. They merged their two businesses into one mega powerhouse now known as Think Creative Collective. When Emylee isn't stylizing the perfect Instagram shot with her latest fake succulent you can find her chugging (decaf) coffee, failing at Whole 30 and convincing her husband that they absolutely need to buy another house plant.

Hooray Mail is subscription snail mail delivered twice per month for kids ages 2-6. In each brightly colored envelope find a personalized card and a simple, fun activity!

A note from our sponsor: I'm Katie - proud wife of Mark and mama to Nina Lorraine and Mae Frances. Believer in living - and parenting - with intention and always eating something sweet after dinner. I love letterpress, Wisconsin cheese and fresh flowers.

As a child, I LOVED getting snail mail - the joy, the fun... the hooray moment! I wanted to provide my two little girls the same fun experience in our digital world so I looked to see if there was a subscription-based service that would automatically send them fun mail. I couldn’t find what I was looking for so I decided to do something about it!
