So you are thinking of starting a business and you don’t know where and how to begin. This article will help you get started as a small business and walk you through all of the tools I used to launch Monika Freeman Studios.

To discover your niche you first need to establish which type of person you are and what you came here to do. A great place to start is evaluating your human design.

The biggest risk you are going to take in business is the risk you take on yourself. If you want others to believe in your offer you have to believe in it, too.

When you are not strategic, or smart in business, you lose both time and money.

I don’t know what the quarantine has been like for you, but at times I’ve felt like I was on a roller coaster. Highs and lows so drastic I had to put my motivation in check. Until a week ago I had been handling it well. Then, I got a little unfortunate news and it […]

Let’s be honest, after six weeks home alone, with a roommate, or family, finding ways to stay entertained is tough. While half of us lean into virtual interactions, others are trying to stay motivated from their home offices while entertaining children 24/7. What’s next? I myself have tried to find the newness in each day […]

A few days ago I saw an Instagram post from a woman talking about her person. As I read this woman’s caption and how she thought her person would have been a long-time boyfriend, or possible husband, I pondered if I had ever had one. It turns out as an adult her best friend had proven to […]

About Kate & Shawn Boyer  I was first introduced to the global brand Anatomie in the summer of 2019. That’s when I met the founders: Kate is the CEO, and Shawn is the Creative Director.

  A blog can be a good thing and a bad thing-especially when people read it and know your most vulnerable side. I had high hopes for 2020 like most of you (and still do). I ended 2019 on a healthy personal note and shitty professional. But I accepted it and tackled the start of […]

  One of the most challenging things to do when settling into a home is deciding on a style. For years I loved all neutrals. I enjoyed the use of color but wanted simplistic and minimalistic. The Gemini in me is always conflicted between the right side of my brain and the left. However, after […]

Since moving into a new home that is mostly dark wood and a bit moodier than my last all white modern house, I have been drawing inspiration from books, places and Pinterest to decorate each room.
