Why 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

You can change your relationship on your own.
Within one year, I changed my life dramatically- all on my own. It was hard. But damn does it feel good to know I’m in charge of my happiness- even if my world does involve lots of other people.
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.
One thought I worked on for all of 2018.
I’ve been a Life Coach for going on 3 years. It’s hard to believe! Even life coaches have fucked up thoughts that don’t serve them and even life coaches have their own coaches and have to deal with their own limiting beliefs and thoughts. I worked on one fundamental thought this year, day after day after day. Moment by moment.
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?
How fit is your business?
Every damn time I take a spin class with Sammy Friedman of Grooveryde (also luckily my CFO-in-training at Cleveland Flea) or at Harness Cycle, I emerge feeling inspired, empowered, clear. In other words, I feel like myself– a powerful, intelligent, gritty, talented Female Founder.
And today, I found the words to express what I usually want to tell all my coaching clients and business owners at Cleveland Flea– SURE IT’S HARD BUT THAT’S NO REASON TO QUIT.
Are you in the FFC?
I don’t really consider myself just as a business owner. I am something more specific. And you might be, too. And if you are, you have an ally in me. Want to know what makes Founders unique? Take a read!
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.
