I survived...
by building a
connected culture...
Moving is tough. Moving to a new town, across the country, where you only know ONE person...that's complete overwhelm.
Welcome to my story! I took a situation that was overwhelming, and after a minute of deer-in-the-headlights I knew it was sink or swim.
Coffee always, Hugs and I love yous from my husband and kids, snuggles from my 3 Australian Labradoodles, walking the loop at sunset
Listening to podcasts, hanging out with my family, singing at church, reading books by the pool, out in the community!
Negativity, quitting, lonely life, flying solo,
Intentional relationships, community involvement, Jesus, grace and redemption, people, smiles and genuine kindness, optimism
So, I made a decision that changed our trajectory entirely. I began to say YES. To EVERYTHING. Yes to bible studies, coffee dates, walking the neighborhood, volunteering at the schools, church ministry, wine nights, leadership opportunities and networking meetings.
I learned quickly that in order to truly connect with people and create relationships, I needed to master the art of being intentional. Fast forward a few years and both our businesses are growing exponentially, our family is thriving and I have a community of hundreds of local business owners, individuals and friends that continue to feed my soul! I truly learned how to build what I call a "Connected Culture", and I am so passionate about helping others learn to do this as well! I love helping my clients connect in their communities - both through sharing recommendations and resources, but also connecting them with each other! We were built to do life together!
My superpower is helping people build a connected culture wherever they are.... one where they not just survive... but truly THRIVE
When my husband and I moved our family of 6 to Argyle, TX we left behind 40+ years of community, relationships, booming businesses we had worked hard to build, connections and nearly ALL of our family. We moved to a new town across the country where we knew ONE small family. I realized in the first few days here that if we didn't connect in a hurry we were going to be lonely, bored and BROKE.

My Favorite Things
FAMILY: These are my people, my world, along with grandbaby #1 in Dec. '25!
Books: I'm always reading at least one, but maybe three. I'm the girl that has to have physical books, I love the smell of the pages, the weight of the words!
My Favorite Things
Out in God's creation, taking in the beauty and wonder of His intricately crafted world! A welcome bonus if my family is with me!
