My deepest gratitude goes to UX AI Studio for guiding my business through brand strategy and website design. Their belief that innovation should never come at the cost of connection has been a cornerstone of my journey. Whether supporting small businesses or enterprise teams, their vision helps save time, reduce friction, and future-proof what matters most.

A special thank you to Taylor Berard Creative, whose photographs bring this site to life. Taylor combines the precision of a planner with the eye of an artist, creating images that are both intentional and authentic. She has a gift for capturing sparks of joy, natural expressions, and real moments of connection—turning everyday interactions into photographs that tell the story behind the work.

I am grateful to Rian Leigh Creative for elevating my work with both artistry and technical expertise. As my podcast producer and photographer, Rian blends creativity with precision, ensuring that every image and conversation is framed with clarity and purpose.

Heartfelt thanks to Kenzie Darnell – KBBD Bookish Designs for her steadfast support and behind-the-scenes care. My “girl Friday,” she keeps the details running smoothly so I can focus on the heart of my work. She also creates handmade bookmarks for book lovers, available through her shop.

To Courtney Thomas, our original podcast photographer—thank you for shaping the early look and feel of the show with your thoughtful direction and ability to see the story behind each image.

And to Shirley Hollingers, my podcast co-creator and beloved cousin—thank you for bringing curiosity, candor, and creative spark to our work. Your presence helped turn an idea into a meaningful conversation space to feel safe and explore different possibilities.
