NINE YEARS of “The Infomercial Fail” Ya. All. I cannot tell you how good it feels to be acting in crystal clear clarity while I go forward in my goal of empowering my fellow offbeat creatives.

How my Ikigai Led me from Unemployed Terror to Semi-Employed Serenity
To all my fellow offbeat creatives. . . I get it. . . I’ve been there. Corporate Corruption In December of 2017 I was “laid off” (PC language meaning I got fired for asking questions about equality and management practices. . . lesson learned, I don’t belong in the corrupt corporate world) RIGHT…
Entrepreneurial Endeavors and Dating. . . There is no Prince Charming and Forcing Ultimatums NEVER Works. . .
I feel like I’ve gone at my entrepreneurial endeavors kind of like the people on those reality shows where they give away roses. Like. . . “THIS will be the ONE. It HAS to be. I am SO SURE that this one idea that I met like, a few months ago is the PERFECT idea…
YouTube. . . The Final Frontier. . .
Welp, I finally did it. After YEARS. . . even a DECADE of putting this off, I’ve launched a YouTube channel. I know, from what all of the internet experts say, that the “riches are in the niches” but I just don’t do well with narrowing down my interests and the same goes for my…
Runway to Hell
In the entrepreneurial world there’s this lil thing called a “runway”. The runway is the money you’ve saved to get you from quitting your day job to the day that your entrepreneurial endeavor is bringing in STEADY and SUPPORTIVE money.

Jessie. . . QUITS HER DAY JOB!
Y’all. . . I’m quitting my job! Ok, ok, not really. At least, not yet. I have a full time job that I actually don’t hate (where I can wear whatever I want, like, literally pajamas) working for a woman entrepreneur just 10 minutes from my house. I have health insurance thanks to my…

Or maybe you’ve been managing your bipolar disorder successfully for some time now but you find you’ve got to tell your new romantic partner why you’re bringing a bag full o’ prescription bottles on your…
He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not – Either Way, It’s All in My Head
I feel like those of us with mental health issues are constantly chasing normalcy – in whatever form comes quickest at times. Sometimes we really buckle in and do the hard work through therapists and psychiatrists – but sometimes we’re weak, or we get laid off and our health benefits expire. Ya know, fucking life….
