FOR COACHES + SERVICE PROVIDERSWhy having a well-designed website helps on your path to sustainable growth
Well-Designed means 3 things to me:
1– It’s a hub for the right client to feel safe and inspired, get immense value and begin to trust you as the expert that you are
2– It’s a place that allows you to be you, and you actually feel comfortable sending people to that digital space as well as being in the stie itself
3– You recognize it as a thoughtful assistant partly because you’ve trained it, but also because it comes with many unique benefits already

Staying in your own lane.
Why stay focused on yourself when everyone should really be doing their own stuff better? Good question. If you’re a parent, boss, partner with kids, employees, clients or partner who really need to learn to do their own lives better so you can feel better, then this post is for you. Staying in your own lane might feel excruciating- but it’s the thing you do in order to feel better. Let’s give it a try today!
Emotional Drama vs Getting Shit Done.
Emotional Drama is when we decide to do something different in our lives (lose weight, decide to love ourselves, open a business, get into a relationship, etc) and then the mental work it takes becomes THE THING WE FOCUS ON. Here’s how you notice it and move past it.
How I finally made my business a dream (for me).
I kinda hated and resented my business for most of the entirety of it until now. I mean, it was a wild ride but it tested me to the limit and now I FINALLY feel like I’m an actual business owner. I think that sticking with something for the long haul is what unlocks its potential. Committing is the key.
Show-up shame.
We’ve all been there. We decide to be truthful. We decide to be seen. We decide to show up in a way that our heart is asking.
And then cue the shame. That fucking guy. Ready to tell us that we should have never opened our mouths and we should just ‘go with the flow’ and not make any waves.
But we must show up for ourselves. Here’s why and here’s what to do when you feel Show Up Shame.
Wow it was a crazy year.
Hey 2018, you were a wild ride. Hi 2019, I’m excited to know you. Here’s my recap on my year, including what’s in store for Cleveland Flea in 2019.
2-hour rule. AKA everything takes double the amount of time you think it will.
Everything takes me longer than I think it will. Double, usually.
So, why do I continue to think things will take less time?
The importance of time away from work.
Shifting from overcommitted CEO to being on break took my emotions on a wild ride, and here’s how I dealt with it.
When you've got a big ship, you're going to need a crew.
Do you wonder if it’s time to hire? Do you have limiting beliefs that make it hard for you to get to a clear answer? Are you someone who wants to join a creative startup? Today, I’m sharing my journey to hiring (and continuing to choose) a creative crew.
When you’ve got a big ship, you definitely need a crew. But are you ready?
Before you scroll any further... Hi! I'm Steph Sheldon, a content architect and creative director currently calling Chicago home, though my journey has taken me from 15 years in Cleveland to an 18-month adventure in Turkey.
My world revolves around designing and producing websites filled with content that's not just seen but felt. With a background in architecture, a knack for DIY, the experience of founding a fast-growth startup, and a heart dedicated to business coaching, I dive into photography as my personal escape and expression.
My greatest joy comes from helping people—especially women founders—uncover and express their true selves online and through their digital products, peeling away the layers of social conditioning that have kept their authentic selves hidden. I'm honored you've stepped into my digital home and studio, a place where creativity meets business in a dance designed just for you.
As someone who believes creativity is not just a talent but a fundamental human right, I see our creative blocks as the result of a world that hasn't always welcomed our brilliance. Here, loving our uniqueness is our strength, while the pressure to conform has too often dimmed our individual lights in exchange for safety in numbers. But it's our differences that make us thrive.
So, I invite you to dive into the blog or sign up for a creative consultation. Let's work together to break free from what's holding you back and move towards the work that's always been meant for you.
