don't try this at home


If you're anything like me, you've likely spent the last week or so in an Olympic haze, bouncing between your big screen and little screen (I mean, I had to know the exact particle level of E. Coli in the Seine).

By day three, I had myself fully convinced that I could do Simone Biles' epic wolf turn (the 360 degree spinny thing everyone tried to emulate).

5 minutes in and one disgruntled lower back later, I had to remind myself that what looks easy from the outside often requires a whole lot of intelligent training and know-how behind the scenes.

And sometimes, you just need an expert pair of eyes to show you an easier way.

I've been doing just that for a few folks over the last couple of months.

ConvertKit cleanup? Wordpress woes? Kajabi conundrums? Launching limbo?

Tech is my sweet spot. And I derive utter joy by showing you how YOU can take the reins for yourself.

This month I'm piloting my Minima Nugget training sessions. These are shorter, targeted training and done-with-you sessions where you get that nagging tech thing done and dusted off your plate.

Interested? Simply reply to this email and let me know what tech has been vexing you for more details. Limited availability.

you've got this,

p.s. What I'm digging this week (all links below non-affiliate)

Brenna McGowan's Behind the Launch. I'm always down with OPL (other people's launches) - an insider look at what's working now in the world of online business.

Hari-kirtana's Journey into the Bhagavad Gita - my favorite yoga philosophy teacher (and fellow Pink Floyd aficionado) shares his wisdom in this epic live course.

In case you want to test out your own wolf spin, here's a tutorial. Fair warning - it starts off in a pistol squat, so your mileage may vary. *minima designs is not responsible for any injuries or strained egos obtained in the process.*

Between the DMs from friends sharing stories of outrageously bad-behaving clients (shoutout to anyone who's dealing with customer support these days - people are WILD) and unintentionally getting myself into a petty social media spat (my WordPress friends will understand), it's one of those weeks where you wonder what the heck is going on with people. But a few much needed deep conversations reminded me of the good that comes out of regular human interaction (not to mention what you gain when...

Nothing drives me more nuts than the little things that slow you down. Like when I discovered this week in the middle of a design deadline that my keyboard shortcuts weren't working.I've been a web designer for almost 2 decades - these quick keys are ingrained in my head. Losing them meant I was moving at turtle pace.After a protracted youtube search, I discovered the fix. Turns out when I set up my new computer the other week I needed to change a system preference to turn on my function...

I'm pretty sure I think about benches more than the average person. My favorite running trail has an wobbly old wooden one, perched on top of a hill with killer unobstructed city river views. Every time I pass by, I think "that's a great spot for my ashes." Slightly morbid, but who wouldn't want an eternally great view with daily dog visitors? Anytime I see a bench with a commemorative plaque, I have to stop and read it. The other week as we hiked inside the DC Smithsonian Zoo (we're suckers...
