Week 4 of 2025 - still making the most of being a (short-term) city dweller. The days are meshing together and I find it hard to keep track of dates, birthdays and plans š¤·āāļø.
I finally rebuilt my website fieldguidefinance.ca with more info on this passion project. I needed a home for upcoming workshops, booking 1x1 sessions and a place where you can learn more about what this side project is to me. Iām taking baby steps, but I envision this as a place where you will access low cost tools and information to support running a small creative business.
Hope you like the foundation šāļø more building to do
In person workshops means cute little merch along with your new finance skills š Iām plotting with the creative community for winter and spring 2025. Lining up a few prospective finance workshops for small business owners in Vancouver, Victoria and here on the Coast š
Just 2 more affordable and online workshops before I take a break until September 30th to focus on getting outside, growing flowers and getting married šøš join us if you are looking to get some learning in before summer

In-person connection has been good good good for the soul the last few months. I paused my online offerings and my website when there was a lot going on with in-person workshops and my day job, meaning I couldnāt give the project the attention it deserved. We canāt do it all and I prefer to do things with my whole heart. Excited to be feeling balance again and slowly bring my own creative offerings back online after pauseš
