Stop selling stuff and start selling meaning.

If your side hustle feels like it's drowning in a sea of competitors, you're missing the most powerful marketing tool you have: Your Values.

This isn't about fluffy branding—it's about building deep trust that converts. When a customer buys from you, they aren't just getting a service; they are validating their own beliefs.

Your Challenge: Can you clearly connect your core value (e.g., Simplicity, Transparency, Community) to a specific feature in your product?
The Reward: That clear connection is your new competitive edge.

Listen to the new episode of The Nouveau Podcast to learn the "Values Audit" exercise that will give you the precise language you need for your next pitch.

I am a mom to three, big maw maw to seven. I've been married for 18+ years, counting the days down to the BIG 20 so we can open up a great bottle of wine.

My husband and I also own a wine bar in our town we live in, called Library Wine & Provisions.

I am the founder of Sweet Baton Rouge®, a local Louisiana business I created from scratch with no marketing plan, just a little grit and lots of geaux! This business will hit 15 years in October and by far has been my most professional career doing what I love, marketing. I have built systems and habits to stay consistent and vision focused on our goals at hand. In 2024 I started a second business, Petey’s Press, to bring all of our production in-house to screen print as our business has always been centered around locally designed & printed t-shirts.
