The Day I Realized My Business Needed a Best Friend (and Yours Does Too)

April 9, 2025

A few years ago, I was sitting at my kitchen table with my laptop, a -empty cup of coffee, and a to-do list that felt longer than my toddler’s bedtime routine.


I was an entrepreneur — a real one now, with actual paying clients and a brand I was building from scratch. But there was one problem:


I was  exhausted.


I had started my business because I was passionate about what I offered — but somehow, I’d ended up drowning in everything except the work I loved. Writing Instagram captions at midnight.

Googling “how to build a sales funnel” while making lunch. Stressing over why my website wasn’t converting (after spending way too much time and money on it).


It felt like I had to be the CEO and the marketer and the creative director and the entire social media department — all at once. And the loneliest part? I had no one to bounce ideas off of. No one to say, “Here’s what works — do this instead.” No one to remind me that I wasn’t actually failing, I just needed a strategy.

That’s When I Realized — Every Business Needs a Best Friend

Not just a coach.
Not just a freelancer.
Not just a marketing guru shouting “Reels are everything!”


A best friend for your business — someone who actually gets what it’s like to build something from the ground up. Someone who listens to your wildest dreams and your biggest struggles, and then helps you build a plan to make those dreams real (without losing your sanity).

That’s why I created Heart & Strategy — a marketing agency built by an entrepreneur, for entrepreneurs.

What It’s Like to Have a Marketing Best Friend

Imagine waking up knowing exactly what to post on Instagram — because your best friend (aka your marketing team) already planned, designed, and scheduled it for you.


Imagine having a website that actually sells for you — because it’s built to guide people straight to booking or buying (instead of confusing them).

Imagine brainstorming new offers with someone who knows your brand inside and out — and can turn your messy voice notes into a clear, profitable plan.


That’s what we do at Heart & Strategy. We become the business bestie you didn’t know you needed — part marketing strategist, part creative director, part accountability partner, and full-time cheerleader for your success.

Here’s How We Can Help (Your New Bestie Services)

We take your brand voice, your vibe, and your goals — and turn them into strategic, scroll-stopping content that actually brings in leads (without you glued to your phone 24/7).

We build websites that aren’t just pretty — they’re powerful. Your site will actually do the selling for you, so visitors know exactly what to do next.

Because you deserve a brand that looks and feels like you. We craft logos, color palettes, and brand voices that tell your story in a way your dream clients can’t resist.

Emails, blog posts, sales pages — if your business needs words that work, we’ve got you. Every piece of content has a purpose (and a little bit of your personality baked in).

Sometimes, you need more than marketing — you need a thinking partner. We’ll help you set goals, clarify your offers, and make sure your business is actually working for you, not the other way around.

The Call I Wish Someone Had Offered Me

Back at that kitchen table, if someone had said, “Hey, let’s hop on a quick call and figure this out together,” I would’ve cried happy tears and booked it immediately.


So here’s that call — for you.


I’m offering free 15-minute discovery calls to entrepreneurs who are tired of trying to DIY everything and ready to get a little (okay, a lot of) expert support.


We’ll talk about your goals, your frustrations, and exactly how we can help — no pressure, no sales pitch, just clarity and connection.

Because every business deserves a best friend — and I’d love to be yours. 💛

You ever meet someone online and think, “Omg I LOVE their vibe”… and then you realize you have no idea what they actually do? Or worse—you do know what they offer, but their whole online presence gives “meh” energy instead of “YES, I need this in my life” energy? Yeah. That disconnect? That’s a brand vibe problem, and… it’s more common than you think. Because here’s the truth no one tells you: Your vibe is doing the talking before your content even kicks in . People feel your brand before they read your captions. Your visuals, your voice, your presence—it’s all part of the story. If your brand feels off, unclear, or kind of vanilla, that’s the message your audience is picking up on. And if you’re like, “Wait. Is my brand giving off the wrong vibe??” Keep reading. I’ve got you. 💛

Let’s talk about that moment when you’re staring at a blank Google Doc, sipping your iced coffee, whispering “what the actual heck am I supposed to post today?” 😩 I’ve been there. And not just once. I used to spiral into overthinking mode, creating 17 different drafts of captions that all felt kinda… meh. Too boring. Too vague. Too “what’s the point?” And let’s be real—when your content doesn’t have strategy behind it, you end up burnt out, inconsistent, and wondering why no one’s buying from you. But once I ditched the fluff and started creating content rooted in how people actually make decisions ? Everything changed. More engagement. More leads. More “OMG I feel like you’re in my head” DMs. And today, I’m giving you a peek behind the curtain—because this isn’t just my content strategy… it’s one you can steal and start using today.
