The Couplepreneur
As Couplepreneurs, we love building businesses… together. We love building a family and community… together. We love building, sharing, learning, and growing… together. And that’s exactly what we talk about each week.
🟠 Different seasons = different ways of showing up
The Couple·preneur Hey friend, The last few weeks, I’ve been picking greens from my in-laws’ garden and shopping at our local farmers market. Summer produce always reminds me of the beauty of seasons. How different times of life invite different ways of showing up. It’s a nudge to pay attention. To bring awareness to our choices. To ask whether we’re acting on autopilot,doing what we think we should,OR making decisions rooted in our own clarity and inner knowing. It’s so easy to look outside...
🟠 A bigger life = allowing open loops & discomfort
The Couple·preneur Hey friend, When Adam got back from biking across Kansas with Arlo,he was feelin’ it. That post-trip overwhelm. The kind where you re-enter life and suddenly all the to-dos come rushing in. He said something we’ve both said a dozen times in business: “I just feel like there are so many open loops I need to close.” We’ve used that phrase before, especially when trying to tie up client communication or clear a task list at the end of a long week. There’s real satisfaction in...
What money and relationships are really showing you
The Couple·preneur Hey friend, I’m in the middle of reading two books this summer... The Let Them Theory by Mel Robbins (all about relationships)and Make Money Easy by Lewis Howes (all about money). And I can't help but notice a striking connection between the two: Money and relationships both magnify whatever’s already alive within us. At first, that might sound unsettling.But I actually think it’s good news. It means how we experience money, marriage, motherhood, family, or business has...
How preparation becomes presence
The Couple·preneur Hey friend, Summer is officially here. Which means pool days, lake trips, and floating down the river. It means bike rides, ice cream socials, and out-of-state family visits. The constant shuffle of packing and repacking bags with swimsuits, snacks, and sunscreen. As the boys bike across Kansas, I find myself enjoying a rare cool morning to reflect and soak it all in. The birds are singing.The studio door is wide open.Eva is crawling around in her pajamas.And I was able to...
Big dreams require bold effort and quiet support
The Couple·preneur Hey friend, Adam and Arlo are training for BAK (Bike Across Kansas). A week-long, 475-mile ride from Colorado to Missouri. (Yep, you read that right.) On a tandem bike. With 400+ other riders. This week in preparation, they decided to bike from our house to our family cabin at Kanopolis Lake. That’s a 56 mile ride! Eva and I were the support crew. We met them on a dirt road, 10 miles to go, armed with water, chocolate, and lots of cheering and encouragement! The next day,...
Find your people, Memorial Day, Music, Connection, and More
The Couple·preneur Hey friend, This Memorial Day has me thinking about connection. Our experiences and those we share it with truly make life rich. Whether we are remembering those who have gone before us,thinking of those who will come after us,or savoring those who are in our midst right now, May we remember and feel the joy that having good people surrounding us brings to our lives. So in the spirit of enjoying our people, here’s a list of ways we found connection this week. Song we’re...
The “under-thinker” mindset and why we want more of it
The Couple·preneur Hey friend, A few weeks ago, Adam and I were at a wedding. During the reception, the best man got up and told a story about his friend (the groom), which we still talk about to this day. He said years ago, the two of them were at a youth conference when the speaker held up a Starbucks gift card and said to the audience of awkward self conscious teens: “The first person to the stage gets this gift card.” The room went still.Everyone hesitated.Everyone overthought it. Except...
What the Kansas wind taught me about motherhood
The Couple·preneur Hey friend, It's Maggie. In honor of Mother's Day, (yes I know I'm a day late) I felt compelled to share this story from a day in the life of being a mom, wife, and business partner: One morning last week I found myself on a walk with our seven-month-old tucked into her stroller. My mind was full of everything I hadn’t gotten done. The endless to-do list for our business and our home. Not only that, but the good old Kansas wind decided to blow at what felt like 50 mph. I...
How to live an abundant life...regardless of your income
The Couple·preneur Hey friend, Back when we ran Simple Abundance Farm (our urban farm), we weren't making much money.But, because we lived simply, grew our own food, and had a solid community supporting us: We felt rich. We weren't stressed about money and we weren't chasing more, more, more either. That feeling of abundance gave us the confidence to make bigger and bolder moves later.And it all started with how we thought about what we needed and what we already had. We realized these two...
What date balls taught us about entrepreneurship
The Couple·preneur Hey friend, If you would’ve asked us last week how things were going,we would’ve said: slow. But, like Hemingways quote about going bankrupt, things tend to happen “Gradually, and then suddenly." And honestly? That’s exactly how this past week felt. A few highlights from the chaos (in the best way):→ 2 coaching calls→ 3 strategy/discovery calls using our new outreach strategy→ 2 kickoff calls for our Personal Brand Accelerator→ Adam gave a LinkedIn outreach presentation to...
