Interview with Saturday Haus for the "Behind My Business" Series
My interview with Saturday Haus for their “Behind My Business” Series is now live!
I was recently interviewed by the babes over at Saturday Haus as part of their “Behind My Business” series and I’m so excited to share that conversation with you!
Saturday Haus is a community of female entrepreneurs who stand for balance over hustle, which is definitely something I can get behind. As a small business owner and one-woman-show, I was particularly keen to share my story and hope that inspires my fellow boss babes!
In this interview, we talked about:
how I got started with my business
what inspires and motivates me about living and working remotely in Bali
my biggest highlights and challenges with my business so far
the advice I’d share with anyone interested in pursuing this lifestyle
what my workspace looks like most days
the morning routine that starts my day off right
how I find time for self-care when work gets crazy
the golden rule I follow to keep up with balance AND hustle
and much more!
This was a really FUN interview and many of these questions are new to me, things I haven’t talked about here on the blog yet so I bet you’ll enjoy reading the answers.
Take a look and let me know what you think! :)
Let’s start off this post by stating the obvious: we’re in the middle of a global pandemic, thanks to COVID-19!
Life as we know it is no longer the same and it’s impacting every aspect of our daily lives: work & business, personal finances, health & fitness, social interactions, staying at home vs going out in public, emotions and mental health, screen time… you name it, it’s different from a few months ago!
I’m writing this post in the middle of May 2020 at by now, we’ve all settled into some sort of “new normal” routine. It’s kind of whack to think about but humans are adaptable and we are all just doing our best and making the most out of this insane situation.
Earlier this week, I published a blog post where I talked about how I’m making the most of Lockdown 2020. Looking at the numbers, I can tell that people like this type of blog post because it’s a post that has received a crazy amount of traffic & visits lately! I decided to give you more of what you want and write a “day in my life” blog post so that you can see a more detailed breakdown of how I’m spending my time during this global pandemic.
Way back in May 2017, I published “Here’s what my typical day looks like as a web designer/developer” and it’s really fun and interesting to reflect on what has changed since then and how in other ways the foundation of my daily schedule looks so similar, even though years have passed and the situation is completely different.
I hope that you enjoy seeing this “behind the scenes” look at what a fairly typical day looks like for me right now, how I’m still running my business during the pandemic, what projects and products/services I’m working on, and how I’m spending my time. Personally, I really enjoy seeing how my peers (and other creatives) run their businesses and schedule their time and I love playing the comparison game to my own schedule. I usually find myself picking up pointers or suggestions along the way so hopefully there are things here that resonate with you!
Hi there and welcome back to another weekly roundup post where I share all the replays of my daily Instagram Live Squarespace SEO training videos!
Recently, we switched up the format and are now doing deeper-dive training videos (as opposed to more general Q&A like before). Each day we pick a topic about Squarespace websites, SEO and online marketing and get much more in-depth than before. These training videos are extremely actionable and filled with tips that you can use starting TODAY on your own website and digital strategy plan.

Lockdown 2020, what a wild ride! Can you believe we’re already in the second week of May? Like, whaaaaaaat? We used to say “time flies when you’re having fun” and I guess that’s still true, although now I’m thinking we need to change it to “time flies when you’re in the middle of a global pandemic” LOL!
Jokes aside, I wanted to write a blog post that sums up my experience with the Covid-19 lockdown and how it has impacted my life and business thus far.
Personally, I think it will be really neat to look back at this post in a few months/years to see where my head was at, what I was up to, how I was keeping busy and staying sane.
I also know that we’re all voyeurs to some extent, and everyone loves to creep each other on the internet. It’s fascinating to see how our own experiences are the same or different from someone else’s, so I hope that you enjoy this little glimpse and snapshot of my life right now.
As a general rule, I keep the content on this blog primarily work related and don’t share a whole lot of “personal” posts. That being said, this is going to be one of those posts that covers both business and “real life” so hopefully it’s still interesting to you!
Alright, without further ado, here are my musings on Lockdown 2020 thus far - the good, the bad, the ugly and the wonderful.
