Exciting announcement!

Exciting announcement!

I wanted to let you all know of an exciting addition to my business!  Read on for the background story and what  will be offering as a service to existing and new clients!
I’ve been a closeted writer ever since I can remember – it is the one thing that truly inspires and excites me on a daily basis.  Ever since I was a little girl, I created fantasy stories in my Norwegian class that prompted my teacher to tell my mom “she should become a writer!” to later on in life establishing two blogs which I have to this day; this one, Sunny and Fit, as well as Arctic Grub, a blog devoted to Norwegian food, history and culture  I’m also a regular contributor to two online newspapers/ magazines; The Norwegian American and La Compassionista Fashionista.

When I encountered several stints of stifled creativity over the past few months, I realized that I was standing in my own way by not owning up to what I truly enjoy doing.  The answer to the question “If money were no object, what would you do?” was always “writing” for me, but somehow I didn’t arrive to the part where I actually believed this could happen for me, or more correctly; hat I could make it happen for myself. Until now, that is.

I will still continue to do what I’m doing now;  I LOVE coaching other women, helping them find their true purpose in life, and this will continue to be an important part of my life.  But what I realized that in order for me to keep inspiring, and to keep motivating and encouraging, I have to fill up my own tank. And I do that through writing. It’s when I feel most at home, it is when I feel most confident, and when I feel like I am serving in the way I’m meant to serve.

After much soul searching, I have been guided and led in the direction of copy writing.    This now, makes so much sense to me, because I have a vast background in many different industries, I’m multi passionate about a variety of topics and have always looked for ways to integrate all of “me” into a vocation.   I just couldn’t seem to combine all of my personalities, but this is finally it!!

(Hint: If you have ever found yourself in the same position as I have been in, where your feel there is still a missing piece and you’ve got a niggling feeling about something, keep searching, and you will find the answer!! )

Ok back to business:

A little bit of background info about me:

Having graduated with a degree in international business and marketing from college, I had a thriving career in the music and entertainment industry that span across a decade, where I worked in international marketing and was responsible for developing the careers of many world wide celebrities.  This is where I learned to get along with a variety of personalities, develop people skills, marketing expertise and work with people from all over the globe. I learned people’s taste, market trends and going with the flow in the fast, ever changing world of entertainment.

The following decade I spent in the food and wine industry, where I started and ran my own catering company for over 5 years, and worked as a wine specialist and buyer in a variety of outlets.  I have numerous certifications and specialties in this field and a broad network.  Finally, my path led me to getting certified as a health coach, and later as a transformational life coach specializing in personal development and online marketing for entrepreneurs.  As a ‘side gig’ I’m also a personal trainer and a devout vegan with a specialization in plant based nutrition. I collect books and love to read, in fact I may have over 4,000 books when all is said and done in my stash by now.  Needless to say – I love words!

So why should you consider hiring someone for copy writing?

Having a well crafted message means everything if you want to create a brand or start and build a business, because words are the personification of what you are thinking and want to convey.  They reveal your personality and beliefs while expressing your enthusiasm.

Words shows your creativity and make you stand out, allow you to define how you want to show up, which in turn will set you apart from others.  Your choice of words, when crafted carefully and with a specific intention,  will attract your ideal clients and repel the ones you do not vibe with.  Basically, it allows you to cut to the chase and surround yourself with high vibrational people while growing your business quicker.

WORDS, then – are so powerful.  As it’s written in Genesis: “In the beginning there was the word.”

What should you hire me for?

My niches are in the food & wine industry, health & Fitness, Life and Business Coaching & personal development, and the vegan and wellness sector.

Why hire me instead of someone else in these areas?

Because of my personal experience and expertise, I stay on top of everything happening in these industries.   It is my job to make YOU look like the ultimate expert so you can create a trust and like factor with your clients.

Here are my specialties:   

Storytelling copy

I help you tell engaging stories about your customers, your products and your ethos, anything that is going to capture interest and attention.

As a brand copy writer, I produce blog articles, case studies, curated pieces, and multimedia extravaganzas.   I curate ideas and opinions, interview experts and customers, and weave in multimedia elements and use supporting facts and graphics to craft well written copy that is fresh, interesting, fun and captivating to read.

Content Copywriting

This includes how-to articles, step-by step guides, manuals, presentations and powerpoints, webinars, lead generation (ebooks and pdfs for opt-ins), white papers and newsletters.

Marketing Copy

This includes email campaigns, web pages, ebooks, video scripts, blog posts, sales and landing pages, event materials, bios, press releases, media kits and speeches among other items.

Social media / Engagement copy – this where I draw out engagement from your ideal clients and target market on social media.  The key to success on social media is to stay consistent, post engaging and interesting material regularly to keep growing your tribe.

If this sounds interesting to you and you need help writing a pitch, a sales page, a blog post or newsletters, and so much more-  I can help!

You may be at a place in your business where you want to delegate and focus on YOUR zone of genius… Take the struggle out of your day by letting someone else who loves doing the things you dread, do them – which allows YOU to spend more time on your area of genius and what you are meant to do!

Sign up for a SPA day with me!

 

I’m so excited to be announcing and offering a new way of working with me! This idea came to me, as most of my good ideas do, when I was walking my dogs down by the river one gorgeous winter morning feeling gratitude and happiness for being able to live my life on my terms.  I am so passionate about sharing the message of how awesome life can be, that I’ve dedicated my life to helping other women find a way they too, can live a life where they feel fulfilled.

Not ready to invest time and sign up for my 3 month signature coaching program, but still desire to make changes in your life?  Here’s a way to work with me in just a fraction of the time but still get big results, and life changing results.
I chose to call it a SPA Day because afterwards it will feel like it as you will receive TLC for your body, mind, soul and business – basically all areas of your life – and I’ll show you how!

The premise of this day is this:

S =  we will set you up for Success

P = let’s explore the Possibilities

This is possible by first becoming

 A = Aware, or rather becoming self aware;  how you think, what motivates you and inspires you

What is it?

This is a 6 hour day which will be conducted via Skype or Zoom in the comfort of your own home (or wherever you prefer) anywhere in the world, to help you get back in touch with yourself and what you are passionate about.   The day is designed to help remove any confusion, barriers and difficulties you have experienced when trying to decipher what kind of life you truly want to live.

Are you living for everyone else but yourself? Are you always doing what your kids, your boss, your family, neighbors and friends want, and putting your desires last?  Wondering if this is it, and even though you have a good life, secretly wishing there could be more because you are feeling you are not living up to your fullest potential?

Give yourself the gift of focusing on YOU for an entire day, with someone who will be present and there for you only, to listen to what you want, what you like and what you deep down are passionate about and dreaming about.

We will have a clear agenda for every hour but also leave room for flexibility and organically tackle any issues or needs that come along during our time together.  Most importantly this day is for you and your desires.

We will set up a strategy and go through:

Goal setting

Planning

Outline and schedule tasks and activities

Execution

happyorcomfy

While we are strategizing, setting goals, planning and talking about you, it is important to FUEL our bodies with the best possible nutrition so that we can think clearly, produce more effectively as well as come up with more creative ideas.  We will have a delightful plant based lunch together that I’ve planned out for us, either together or if you prefer, on your own, during lunch time.

Plus, let’s not forget to have fun! At the end of the day, we’ll celebrate with a glass of bubbly or your favorite red or beverage, going over all the things you love to do for fun, and how you can bring them back into your life so your true personality can come through and bring happiness into your personal and work life. So many times we lose ourselves in our responsibilities and put fun and enjoyment on the shelf. And then we worry we we burn out, get bored or feel discontent!   Being an adult doesn’t mean we only can allow time for  obligations, chores and hard work.  A fulfilling existence includes showing yourself the love and respect to cultivate what makes life worth living for you.   Reconnect with whatever that is for you, and see how it magically will have a positive effect on all the other areas of your life.

Who is it for?

It’s for you, a woman in mid life who have a nagging feeling that there is something missing in you life; while successful at work and otherwise, you know you are capable of and want to achieve so much more, but you just have no idea where to start or how to do it, so you have convinced yourself that average is ok.  But deep down, your desires are still there and now they are getting stronger and stronger and it feels like you have to do something or you are going to burst!
Perhaps you feel misunderstood by your peers or family, you might think your vision and dreams are too big or unrealistic, yet whenever you think of them, that sinking, sad feeling comes over you which leads you to either compare yourself to others or fall into the useless “wouldn’t it be nice” kind of thinking.

This is for all women who want to uncover their true, authentic self so they can step into their greatness and live the life they’ve always dreamed of.   This is for the woman who wants her skills, talents, experience and passions to be fully utilized, to finally get rid of that feeling that something is missing from their life.  It’s for the woman who is tired of playing small, and dimming her light, and now want to shine bright.

What you will walk away with:

  • A clear understanding of who you are and what you desire in life. This is incredibly important as it will help you make better decisions in life, become a better partner in professional and personal relationships, a better leader, manager and worker
  • A solid, step-by step plan for how you will reach your goals, whether that is implementing a new routine in your life or replacing your corporate income to go do something that makes your heart happy
  • A strategy for how to achieve your vision and desires, setting you up for success
  • Useful mindset tools you can pull out when you start doubting yourself and feel like going back into ‘hiding’
  • Information and knowledge of how to take care of your body and health, which will help reduce stress, increase your productivity, creativity and enthusiasm in your life and business
  • Regain the ability to implement FUN in your life, without any guilt or stress. Reclaim the fabulous woman you are and see how doing so will transform you!!
  • Bring back excitement in your life by bringing back the REAL you!!

 

SO HOW ARE WE GOING TO DO THIS? 

The SPA Day is 6 hours total with 1 of the hours set aside for lunch

The general outline of the day will look like this:

Hour 1:     This is all about you, we will discover who YOU are, what you love to do,  what you want to do more of, what you would like to do LESS of, and we’ll get clear on your true desires.  Nothing is off limits or off the table here.  You will learn what it means to employ a no excuses policy; embrace who you are and use it to your advantage!

We will delve into your WHY. Why do you want what you want?  What have you been denying yourself because you feel you either a) don’t deserve it, b) it’s out of reach or haven’t been done before or c) nobody else is doing it or other people are doing it better?   You don’t have to justify your why, the only requirement is that it has to really motivate and inspire you, and we will define what this is for you in an open and authentic way.

Hour 2:  The most important pillar of anything is HEALTH. Whether you are a ‘health nut’ or not, we all know that if you don’t take care of your health, it will catch up to you eventually. In this hour we will go through the basic foundation of how you can set yourself up for success so that you have the energy, stamina, enthusiasm and high vibrational state you need in order to achieve what you want.  Whether that is changing jobs or asking for a promotion, starting your own business, becoming a better wife/mother/daughter/friend or diving into a new area of interest for you, becoming the BEST version of you is vital in this process.

We will discuss how plant based foods is the ultimate way to feed your body what it needs, ways for you to become more active and move your body, and also finding efficient ways to fit this into your day without it feeling like it’s a chore or “extra” things you have to deal with in a given day.
Hour 3:   After hour 1 and 2, you will walk away with a lot of plans, information and ideas that will require change.  Change in your lifestyle, but also change in the way you think.  This hour is all about MINDSET and how it affects us.  Our mind can either work for us or against us, so in this session we will set you up with a set of tools you can apply whenever your ego wants to kick you back into your “old self” where everything is safe, predictable and… dare I say it, boring and unfulfilling?  We will bust through any blocks you might have, whether they be related to confidence, money or skill set and have you come out PREPARED TO KICK SOME BUTT!!

Hour 4:   You deserve a break!  This type of day is by many in the coaching world referred to as ‘intensives’ for a reason: they are intense!  So let’s reset, refuel and feed our bodies!  In this hour you will have two options: You can either select to have me send you a recipe that you will cook in advance, and you can log off for an hour and eat in peace. OR we can cook together (don’t worry – the recipe will be SUPER simple and done in 15 minutes or less) and have a “Working lunch”.

Hour 5:  Insights, Information and Independence Hour

After the first half of the day we will review insights you’ve had about yourself, you can come prepared with any questions you might have about anything we’ve talked about and then we will dive into how you can become more independent in your thinking.   By this I mean, so many women sacrifice their own goals, vision for themselves and happiness because they feel forced to conform to society.  Pressure from friends and family, as well as even colleagues, neighbors and other peers take over and that is why we have this ‘nagging’ feeling and many times end up resentful, angry and disappointed.  In this hour you will get support and get clear on why it’s in your best interest to follow your own path, and how you can do this with love, without alienating anybody (or yourself!).  This is often the biggest road block I see to women succeeding; have you had your ideas or dreams laughed at or brushed off, even by yourself? Thinking that is for someone else, and you just have to resort to average? This is the hour I will set you straight and we’ll define what your true path is.

 Hour 6:  All about fun!!   Break open the bubbly, because we’re about to have fun! In this hour we will round out everything we’ve discussed, and talk about what YOU love to do that is not related to work, chores or responsibilities. What do you love to do? Drink wine ? (Check over here!) Play the piano? Paint? Read books?  Be in nature? Whatever it is for you, we are going to have a lighthearted talk about what interests you just for the simple act of what it is: It moves your soul and gets you excited. Often times I don’t see this in women enough; in fact so many deny themselves the time to just have fun, relax and do things that aren’t necessarily “productive”. The reason I stress this, is I believe this is when you find your zest for life, uncover your creativity, and your true essence; the true you.  Often this is the most groundbreaking hour because we return to our ‘wild woman’, the one that has laid dormant but now is knocking to come out!

Does this sound like a day you would like to experience?!  As for me, I got excited just writing the outline!  When was the last time you did something decadent for YOURSELF, and yourself only? Let me tell you, when you do, it feels amazing and you will get back that feeling of how kick ass you are and how amazing life truly is!!
