Oh my heart - everything that has happened within the 2 years of my business all wrapped up into one single video. I shared it all in this one, the struggles, the triumphs, successes and failures and so much fun reminiscing on the early days of my business. This was definietely my most impactful video of 2017, as I received multiple comments and messages from women who were touched by my transparency and inspiration to keep going.

TAPPING INTO YOUR DESIRES

Still one of my favorite videos to date because of the openness and vulnerability of my own story. I shared my own journey with allowing myself to TRULY believe that I was worthy of everything I desired and to finally grant myself permission to want more.

Amazing Community Love

I'm constantly in awe of the amazing connections I've been privileged to make through my business and the Brandmerry community. I set out to create a business that not only felt good inside and out, but made a lasting impact in the lives of others; to empower more women to step into their worth and own their story. 2017 was a transformational year. This year I've made amazing friends, worked with amazing clients and have grown my community full of women who are truly going to make a difference. Thanks for being part of this journey!

a final note...

As I look ahead it's crazy to think that just last January I was still struggling to sign consistent clients. I was making money in my biz, but in order to hit my goals for 2017 I knew something had to change.

Turns out I needed to step it up.
Take major risks in investments.
Follow my gut when new opportunities arose.
Test to see what worked and didn't. 

I LEARNED TO...
Embrace help from others.
Embrace slowing down.
Embrace deep emotional work.
Embrace that I no longer needed the label of perfectionism.
Embrace sleeping till 8:30 and morning snuggles.
Embrace time to listen

IN 2017 I CELEBRATED...
Multiple $25k sale months,
Consistent $10k cash months for 3/4 of 2017.
Traveling for work and masterminding with incredible women.
Serving thousands of women through my group, programs, courses and my blog.

At the beginning of 2017 I set out to create a 6-figure business that not only made an impact, but didn't cause my to lose my sh*t in the process; and in 2017 I surpassed my cash goal by making over $100k in my business.

It was the year I took some of the biggest risks of my life and I'm excited to see what unfolds in 2018 ❤️
