I had a crush on my husband, and he didn't even know I existed...
​

In my first year of University, I had a crush on my husband in the way only a 17-year-old girl can.

I had moved from a very small town in New Brunswick and had just moved to the big city of Toronto for my major.
​
He was in fourth year of the same program.
We were a really small group (only 16 people were admitted every year).

He had no idea I existed.

And I was DEVASTATED, in the way only a 17-year-old girl can be when her crush doesn't like her back.​
​
Fast forward 8 years later and I am engaged to someone else.
I get hired to work at the same theatre company as my husband.

On the first night of rehearsals, I was like, "I had a crush on you!"

Fast forward another year and I have left my fiance, he left his long-term partner, and we were madly in love. (Email me if you want to full whirlwind story, because it's a good one 😉)

We've been together for 16 years...​

​What does this have to do with marketing?

My future husband didn't know I existed because I didn't TELL HIM I existed.
I sat in the background pining over him while I watched him date other girls.

Your future clients don't know what you have to offer because YOU AREN'T TELLING THEM.
​
​You don't have to sit in the background, pining over your ideal clients, hoping they notice you, and being devastated when they don't, wondering what you did wrong.

Tell people that you have a crush on them.
Tell people that you have THE solution to their problem.

If they don't know, how are they going to fall in love with you? 💕💕

I Marie Kondo’d my entire business Last week I had the urge.Not the “clean out one drawer” urge.Not the “switch planners” urge. The burn-it-all-down-and-start-fresh urge. I don’t know if it’s the end-of-year energy, the fact that 2026 feels like it’s rumbling in the distance, or the simple reality that some stuff in my business has been collecting dust for… years. But something came over me and I went on an absolute rampage. First stop: Instagram.I unfollowed 200 accounts in one sitting.Not...

I’m putting myself on a business cleanse Not this kind of cleanse.... Hey Reader, I need to tell you something that feels both obvious and mildly embarrassing: I spent most of this year taking advice from everybody but myself. Like… if someone in the online business space had a thought?A framework?A method?A 60-second TikTok with text overlays and vibey music? I consumed it like it was gospel. I invested in two masterminds.I listened to podcasts on my walks.I bought courses.I bought books.I...

So… can we have a do-over? I wish I could say that I disappeared from your inbox these last few months because I was off having some Eat, Pray, Love revelation in Mexico. But the truth? I thought moving here would magically fix everything. Oh, sweet, naive Jenn... Turns out, the problems and the bad habits packed themselves right into my suitcase. Everything feels the same... just with more sunshine, salt water, and tacos. (Honestly, the tacos are doing the heavy lifting.) And then life got…...
