GIVEAWAY: One person will win a collection of five of my newest art prints mounted on wood, ready to hang! (valued at $100)
SPECIAL OFFER: KRR fans! Use this secret link for discounts on my work!
ABOUT: In 2011, after reading an inspiring book called “5” by Dan Zadra, my mom and I decided to change our life. We opened up a creative little gift shop in Douglas, Michigan.
My gift shop gave me the idea to create little decorative wooden signs to sell. Over the past two years, my style has evolved, and now I am selling my art prints on wood to gift shops all over Michigan (and expanding to a few other states, too)! Each piece is created by hand, from start to finish, in my home. My little sign company is called Polka Dot Mitten.
Each sign I make reminds me of something happy from my life. My hope is that my art inspires you to do something you love, too!

GIVEAWAY: 1 year-long membership in The When I Grow Up Clubhouse (a $360 value).
ABOUT: Hey soon-to-be/new-ish entrepreneur!
Starting and growing your business is the most exciting time - and the hardest.
Although you’re so excited for it and passionate about it, it’s just that, well, you’re not sure what steps to take to create a successful business - and you’re totally overwhelmed.
That’s where I come in. I’m Michelle Ward, PCC and as The When I Grow Up Coach, I help creative women transition out of soul-sucking jobs and into work that feels like play. You may have seen or heard me on Etsy, AOL Jobs, Newsweek, SXSW, Freelancers Union, Psychology Today, the Forbes Top 100 Websites for your Career List or as the co-author of The Declaration of You, a published book written with the artist Jessica Swift.
In doing this work for 5 years, I know that what’s most beneficial for new-ish entrepreneurs (& entrepreneurs-to-be!) is to work on building your foundation: learning how to prioritize, setting goals that are personalized to your business, getting your deadlines on the calendar and ensuring they’re met, and actually following through to finish what you start.
I’m opening my Clubhouse doors for a limited time, and the structure, community and affordable access to me will help you build a rock-solid business foundation. Come see what a quarterly membership can do for your passionate career!

ABOUT: The most transformative experience of my life was to learn to meditate. I love it so much I do it every day, and I teach it almost as often. I know you have tons of thoughts, but you don’t need superhuman powers of concentration to do it (though you might find them) and you don’t have to be spiritual (but you discover more love, creativity, and passion) and, you don’t have to clear your mind, for real, (though you might find you think more clearly.) Everyone can meditate, yes, even you.
I’m Sarah McLean. When I am not meditating I am teaching meditation to people just like you! I traveled the world by bike and taught Tibetan Buddhist nuns English, and learned about their practices, I lived in a Zen Buddhist Monastery, and an ashram in India I explored the monastic traditions of meditation so you don’t have to!
I was the education director for the Deepak Chopra’s Center for Wellbeing and now, I run the McLean Meditation Institute in Sedona, Arizona, where we demystify meditation while still giving you the good stuff. I’ve also written about meditation, my best-selling book Soul-Centered can help you navigate your way into the present moment, out of stress, into the creative mind, and into being a better listener to your own inner knowing.

You'll learn how to:
• Care for yourself really well in the midst of over-stimulation and over-arousal
• Accept yourself as you are
• Feel at ease while being out in the world
• Learn when it's time to be less "out"
• Discover the just-right balance, without overdoing or under-doing
• Respect the truth of your own knowing
• Listen to your heart and act on the information it feeds your soul
• Let go of isolation and a feeling of being "alien" as you find your tribe
• Not be "at the effect of" the delicate flower of your own body and mind with your own custom-designed Super-Sensitive First Aid Kit
