It All Began with Burnout

A few years into my teaching career, I was tired all the time. I'd work all day, and then work some more at night. I was giving everything to my job, and I had little left over.

You can relate, right?

You're trying to juggle a million things for your business, and it's just too much. You need a better solution so you don't burn out.

I want to help you find balance, too.

Walks on the rail trail, spontaneous trips to Lowe's with my husband, & obsessively checking your analytics.

daily rituals

Working hard to get your business found, crocheting on the couch, or soaking up sunshine.

YOU CAN FIND ME:

Drinking only one cup of coffee, hiding your personality, or marketing that leaves you feeling burned out.

I'm NOT ABOUT:

Good communication, authenticity, hard work, and leaving things better than I found them.

I BELIEVE IN:

Though I'm not teaching in a high school anymore (good riddance, 5:45 AM wake-ups!), you'll still catch me using all of those skills from my first career to help grow your business. Clear communication? Check. Constant analysis of what's working and what's not? I'm on it. Incredible attention to detail? Tell me you used to write sub plans without telling me you used to write sub plans.

Just as I helped my students for so many years, I also want to help you. My focus is on making marketing feel easier and more sustainable for you. That way, you can spend less time stressed out and more time doing the work you love.

My superpower is helping creatives build sustainable marketing strategies so they can spend more time doing the things they actually enjoy doing in their business.

It may have begun with burnout, but it didn't end that way. After ten years, I eventually left the classroom in search of a more balanced life. That adventure led me to the world of Pinterest and blogging! What started out as a personal pivot has grown into a business built around helping creatives like you find balance and avoid burnout, too.

My Favorite Things

Traveling — I can never seem to sit still for too long! I'm up to 28 states & 18 countries.

my happy place!

The outdoors. I LOVE being outside every chance I can get (couldn't you tell?).

Snowboarding! Fun fact: my husband asked me to marry him at the top of a mountain on a snowboarding trip in Canada.

My Favorite Things

Can't forget about my sweet husband, Zach. The #1 supporter of Emily Howell VA!

Ice cream and live music outside in the sunshine?
Say less.

my guilty pleasure

Crochet. It started as a way to relieve some stress and turned into a full-on obsession. My friends joke that most of my house is crocheted...
