We are discerning. As in, we search far, we dig deep, and if we have to… we wait for the best to show up. We only recommend people and systems we have worked with directly and come to adore. I love and respect these humans. (As well as the gear that keeps us sailing.)
LINK LOVE
Vendors. Suppliers. Trusted Collaborators.
LEADERSHIP + COACHING
- Chela Davison… is one of my closest and beloved friends. But that’s beside the point. She is one of the most sought-after coaches in the integral coaching community—because she is gifted. Her insight and skill are extraordinary. I’ve done three coaching series with Chela, and each has profoundly impacted HOW I work and what I decide to create. Chela is currently helping Team D to create a developmental program. Three words: Respect. Revelation. Transformation.
DESIGN
- Laurie Milotte… is the magic behind the design of The Desire Map Planner, our candles, #Truthbomb deck and so much of the visual branding that we do. She is classy Parisian, a joy to work with… and is obsessed with product design.
MARKETING
- Jennifer Spivak… the Facebook Ads Girl. Here’s how Dee from our team describes Jennifer: “She is like the CIA of FB Ads! She’s always at the top of her game, keeping us up-to-speed with the inside scoop. She will tweak and tweak to ensure our ads get the right traction. Jennifer is personable, efficient, and over-the-top caring.”
AUDIO / VIDEO
- Kelly at MoonDog, Copywriter + Digital Strategist… also has a foot in the world of podcast marketing. Kelly is the editor of my forthcoming podcast (!) and helped me sort out all of the engineering stuff to make it a reality. No-nonsense, lovely and knowledgeable, I’m so grateful to have found her.
- Kevin at Red Room Sound, Audio + Video Engineer… was the sound editor for my audiobooks and meditation kits, and also pulls together all of my rambling voice memos into profesh files for the blog. We’ve worked with Kevin for about four years now. Again: so grateful.
