Built by a service provider, for service providers
Iām Deanna (my friends call me dd)
After decades in the creative world, I noticed most service providers were burning out on endless contentā¦ even though their business was actually built on relationships and referrals.
And when youāre trying to do it all alone, it all adds up fast. Inside The Playhouse, we share the load through collaborations, referrals, visibility swaps, and community events that keep you seen without the hustle.
The result: more FUN, more clients, and less busy work.
If youāre ready to grow your business with joy instead of exhaustion, we have a seat for you in The Playhouse.
Lean into what's FUN for YOU! š
Small groups led by experienced Playhouse members where you can brainstorm, problem-solve, and grow faster together. Think of it as your personal board of directorsā¦ but with comfy pants.
