I used to call myself a “techno moron.”

Hi Reader, What a label to label self! That was my identity for a long time. If anything felt technical, I’d immediately tell myself, And for a while, that story kept me feeling very safe. Safe from trying, failing and looking like I didn’t know what I was doing. What it also did was it kept me stuck. The truth is… I wasn’t confused because it was hard. I was confused because I was overthinking everything. Too many platforms, tools and opinions. I thought I needed to understand all of it before I could start. I didn’t. What I actually needed was much simpler than I made it. A way to take payment. That’s it. Not perfect branding (which costed me a lot of money). Just start where you're at, where you're standing, using the tools you already have and own. Once I stopped trying to be “ready” and just picked one software to focus on, everything shifted. One platform. One tool. One product at a time. And then I refined as I went. This is where it's at. This part generates so much aha moments and it leads to more mastery than a false narrative ever will. That’s how this whole digital product side of my business started in 2022 during the global lockdown. Not from being techie rather from being willing and obsessive with the process and the progress it brings into my world. This week’s podcast episode 10 is about this. How to create digital products when you’re not techie. Not in a complicated way. In a real way. If you’ve been telling yourself “I’m not techie,” I understand that thought more than you think. It's optional, but here's episode 10, just click below: And if you’ve been sitting on something you know you could turn into a product, this might be your sign to just become. To Becoming, Kareen

Hi Reader, I had a coffee meeting with a female business owner and a dear friend yesterday. She just went over her 7 figures and she's never been so lost. It's obviously not because she doesn't know what she's doing, it's because she's making big decisions...alone. Every entrepreneur wants the same thing; how to go to their "next level". We need to talk. I know we think if we just make more money, we would solve all our problems. That's just not the case. You're smart, capable and have done...
Hi Reader, If you’ve ever been awful to yourself… Try saying those same words out loud to the woman sitting next to you. Or the next woman you see. Really say it. This week, I went to a curated event called, The Over 40 Revolution by Darina Neyret and I can't unhear so a lot of the takeaways I went home with it so I decided to write about it. I hope you don't mind. We were asked to think about the labels we’ve called ourselves before. Too fat. Too skinny. Too old. Too much. Not enough. Then...
Hi Reader, If you’ve been telling yourself, “I don’t have the money to start,” I am here to challenge that. Because money is not the first requirement. Clarity, structure and a decision is. I just released a free masterclass to serve a fellow woman in need and thought maybe it will serve many of you as well, called: How to Start Your Digital Product Business With No Money Inside, I walk you through: • What you actually need to begin• The tools you already have access to• How to validate your...
