Do you believe you can have what you want?
I do.
And every day in my work with clients, that belief proves true.
Secret wishes and half-spoken goals turn into clearer thinking, more energy, and—yes—
more money,
more time,
more focus.
“With Katrina’s help, I’m back in a flow state—ruthlessly innovating, delegating, and automating across my two businesses. I’m closing new clients at the fastest rate in years.”
Are you like Steven?
Accomplished, driven, growth-oriented
…but what’s next?
What’s next comes from clarity.
Articulating what you truly want—for your business and your life. And building the systems that make it inevitable.
“Katrina has a gift for cutting through the noise and helping you see what truly matters—not just in your work, but in how you want to live and lead.”
“Every day I wake up excited to get to work. Nothing is a drag anymore. I’m aligned with what I was born to do, and making progress every day toward bigger dreams than I imagined possible. Thank you, Katrina.”
How I Work
My work blends strategy, structure, and conversation.
The Best Part?
(Some say)
“Katrina pulled me out of the weeds and equipped me with fool-proof systems and strategies to help me stay relentlessly focused. She’s had a profoundly positive impact on the business and my life.”
“Best part: she’s so real. None of this over-the-top positive BS. She tells you when you’re sucking and helps you get to a better place.”
“She’s seasoned and insightful across many industries, and incredibly easy (and fun) to work with.”

We meet every week for focused sessions on the gritty work of making change.
I’ll ask hard questions, reflect what you can’t yet see, and help you turn insight into action.
“I have long struggled with certain aspects of running my company, and Katrina pushed me to tackle challenges that had been all too easy to brush under the rug for years on end. I truly would not have made the advancements I have without her support. Plus, she’s a joy to work with.”
Katrina has been instrumental in helping me understand the different pieces of my complicated life puzzles and how to bring each piece in and out of focus based on the season I am in.
Then she helps me stay on track and focused.
“Katrina was everything I needed, truly.
She didn’t just help me figure out my next move — she helped me tap back into purpose.
And when I have a sense of purpose, nothing can stop this train.”

Occasional Missives From Me
Buttercup shares stories drawn from life and work — sometimes joyful, sometimes painful, always honest. At its heart, it’s a reminder to live with focus, intention, and meaning.
November: The Power of the Pause
At 6:30 p.m., Kinsey’s voicemail and photos ping my phone. She’s pausing in the aftermath of her new warehouse’s grand opening.
I hit play—her voice raspy, choked with emotion.
“I’ve been sitting in the warehouse for about an hour, thinking about the day and how wonderful it was.”
“I’m exhausted and full of joy.”
“My parents came. Tyler’s dad and his wife. My parents’ friends. The owners of Roman’s daycare. Realtors—some I’m close with and some I’m not.”
“The whole team was here. Rachael faked me out—said she couldn’t come, then surprised me.”
“We even got a team picture.”
“I keep pausing this recording because I keep crying. In a good way.”
Buttercup, my eyes filled too—with admiration for her courage, her progress, her work.
Can you guess why I’m telling you this story?
Today, I want to honor—and encourage—the pause.
A moment where you seemingly stop time.
A pause isn’t inherently good or bad. Its power lies in the act itself.
As Kinsey said,
“I didn’t even know I had these emotions inside until I started leaving you the message.”
When we stop and tune in, we make space for what’s been waiting to emerge.
So today, I’m celebrating Kinsey—and the pause.
When we started working together, Kinsey was a team of one, hiring ad hoc college students as movers and running on fumes. She couldn’t see how to take Chico Charm Staging and Design to the next level.
Flash forward two years: A warehouse. A team of nine (counting me, of course). Clarity. Profitability. Joy.
Did I mention she just opened a warehouse, for god’s sake?
So, Buttercup, here’s the point.
Take a minute,
or an hour,
or a day,
or a weekend—
to pause.
Reflect.
Take stock.
Celebrate—always celebrate.
The proverbial clock will resume. You’ll reenter your life.
But wiser now, with the insights only a true pause can offer.
Love,
Me
