Hey there I’m Marcia
Just like you, I’ve experienced many ups and downs in life. From the business hustle, near-death experience to living a life of love.
I share my story with you to inspire you to commit to your goals and take the action required to bring your dreams to life.
No matter what chapter of life or business you are in, I am here to support you.
2011
I landed my dream job.
Designing children's clothing for the collegiate clothing industry.
I soon realized what I thought was my dream job left me feeling empty. While working there I started a side hustle graphic design business. Working hard outside of work to grow it to a space to leave my 9-5.
If I only knew then what I know now.
2013
In 2013 I married my high school sweetheart.
We bought a house and started doing the “things you do” after you get married. Settle down, buy a house, focus on careers.
So I put my head down and hustled I saw consistency in my business and I loved what I was doing, but it drained me. It took time away from the joy of life, I had taken my love of creativity and pushed myself too hard doing all the things to make my business thrive. I needed to slow down and rethink things but I didn’t know how..
2018
I had a near-death experience.
Looking at my husband and feeling like I was saying goodbye to him I prayed to God saying if I make it out of this emergency surgery I would be committed to change and to a life of happiness.
Waking up I started seeing the world through a new lens. You always hear people say “you never know if you will have tomorrow”, well I almost didn’t have another tomorrow March of 2018.
I knew for some time I needed to slow down, to rethink the way I was doing things. That halt happened March 22, 2018, I was forced to stop and take a hard look at things.
2019
I am a stubborn farm girl who will work, work, and work. I know how it feels wanting something so bad and giving every ounce of energy to it. But, I pray that my story can serve as a pause moment for you to look at your life and ask yourself the hard questions you have been avoiding. It shouldn’t take an NDE to ask the hard questions as it did for me.
Since then I’ve been devoted to living a life I am proud of. Not for my business but for myself, my family, and my faith.
After getting through 2018 I didn’t think anything could break me more, 2019 was a new whole whirlwind. I stepped back in all areas of life hitting the big P.A.U.S.E button. In business hitting that button can feel impossible, stepping away from something you’ve worked so hard to build.
2020
My husband and I took a hard look at life, and together we made a big U-turn. We sold our house in 2019 and purchased a travel trailer in 2020 to commit to a new life.
A life of union, a life where no dream is too big, and a life where God is the center of our life and marriage.
Years of growth and dedication to small steps got us to where we are today.
We traveled the US in our travel trailer to learn about farming, my husband focusing on his joy of painting, and me supporting women to bring their brand to life.
2022
In 2022, we welcomed our first son into our family and started farming alongside Marcia’s grandparents on the family farm.
I have a lot of pinch-me moments…
• sitting on the farm with my family and seeing the simplest of moments bring the most joy
• on top of a canyon in New Mexico watching Todd paint the expansive landscape
• watching my son walk around the farm with pure joy in his eyes
• working on the business I love, with clients I love from anywhere we are in the world
It took me time to rebuild, to step back into my business after moments that almost broke me.
I tell you this because it’s okay to say no, pause, and re-align.
Today, I focus on what is important to me in life.
My faith and family come first and my business is a gift that gives back. My business now allows me to be location independent traveling the US and work with ease not hustle. It’s truly not about doing all the things to “be successful”.
Success is different for every person, what one person does won’t always work for another.
I’ve been there doing all the things that brought me to my NDE, today I know what works for me in my business and I’m honored to serve others to help them find their version of success in their brand and business.
It’s a privilege to be here with you today. To encourage you to go after your dreams.
It might sound cliche but, your dreams won’t happen unless you do the work and we truly aren’t promised tomorrow.
Business can be stressful but when you align your path with your happiness, business and life become an act of love not an “I have to do this”.
We are all given gifts that the world needs. I am honored to link arms with you and bring your brand and big business dreams to life with strategy and ease.
Are you ready to live a life of happiness while having a business you love?
I know you have the desire and I want you to know that the time is now!
Don’t wait for tomorrow. Commit to yourself and your business NOW!
Wherever you are at in your business, just starting out or a seasoned business owner.
I am here to support you in branding your business to bring your life’s work online to serve your audience and be the changemaker that you are.
