From Side Hustle to Soul-Led Business Journey
There was a time when I built websites after hours—between shifts, on weekends, or whenever I could carve out a few quiet moments to follow what lit me up. What started as a side hustle was never just about extra income. It was the seed of something bigger—something aligned, purposeful, and deeply personal.
I’ve always been a creator at heart. Even when I was working long hours in food service, front desk management, or later as a VP of Operations, I kept circling back to one thing: helping people bring their visions to life online. Whether it was logos, business cards, or full websites—I felt alive building things that mattered to other people.

But I wasn’t just designing websites. I was helping people start again. Step into their next chapter. Share their gifts with the world.
And in 2024, I finally made the leap—leaving the 9–5 world and launching Divine Flow Digital full-time. It was one of the most transformative decisions of my life. Moving from Wisconsin to Arizona gave me space to breathe, build, and believe in what I was creating.
Today, Divine Flow isn’t just a digital marketing agency. It’s a soul-led ecosystem where creativity, strategy, and intention come together. I work with small businesses across the U.S. to develop websites, SEO strategies, logos, and marketing tools that truly reflect who they are. I pour my heart into every detail—because I know how personal this work is.
From side hustle to soul work, this journey has taught me that success isn’t just about sales or scale—it’s about impact, alignment, and connection.
If you’re reading this and thinking about starting your own business—just know: it’s possible. It’s worth it. And the world needs what only you can create.
Here’s to building what sets your soul on fire.
