🤐 Quiet quitting your own creativity while social media algorithms dictate your worth
💀 Dead-end masterminds where everyone's posturing instead of actually helping

Where freethinking service providers find more joy, more clients, and less busy work

welcome to the
Your permission to STOP SCALING and START LIVING 🎉
Remember when you started your business for freedom and flexibility? Then somehow got convinced that "success" meant building a seven-figure empire with a team of 20? 🙄
The Playhouse is for service providers who choose six-figure freedom over seven-figure burnout.
We're not here to build empires, we're here to:
- Create work we're proud of
- Serve clients we genuinely like
- Make enough money to live well
- And actually enjoy our lives along the way
- Scaling until you hate your business
- Creating passive income that takes active burnout to build
- Trying to be someone you’re not in order to "make it"
- Compromising your values to make a buck
It's about creating a sustainable business that supports your real life. 🙌

Who dreamed up this revolution? ✊
After two decades in the creative world, I've become a magical blend of strategy, creativity, and get-shit-done implementation.
I built The Playhouse because I believe in real connection over algorithms and genuine community over endless content creation.
This space exists to help you run a business with
graphic designer, marketing strategist, and professional rule-breaker.
