Welcome to Well-Crafted.
life as a creative entrepreneur!
Hi friends, and happy new year!
You might notice that the title of my newsletter has changed. I’ve struggled over the last year to pinpoint what words represent me. But after a few months of heavy journaling and an afternoon of vision-boarding, I’m headed into this year with a clearer picture of who I am.
With that said, welcome to Well-Crafted, a newsletter about life as a creative entrepreneur! It comes from an idea my husband & always loved: that we’re building “a life well-crafted.” Entrepreneurship hands you the creativity to imagine the best, most you life possible. It gives you freedom to live anywhere, work the hours you want, and travel on a whim. It can turn your passions into your livelihood.
It can also be overwhelming and exhausting at times, which is why we need each other. If you’re on the entrepreneurship path, or hope to be someday, welcome! We can journey together. My husband and I are building a livelihood from design and renovation projects in Charleston, SC. We also own a laundromat! We’re just beginning in the world of entrepreneurship, but having so much fun.
We’ve found that a good life takes a lot of intentionality: vision-casting, weekly meetings, journaling, and prayer. Intentionality has to seep into everything: home, work, wellness, and community. In Well-Crafted, I’ll share:
my favorite things about the life we’re building
routines I love (that took me years to figure out!)
apps and tools that help with organization
ways to build intentional community without co-workers or a workplace
fun places to work remote
easy, healthy recipes for busy people (I cook with produce from a local farm that’s delivered to our doorstep on Thursdays! Lots of new veggies to try every week)
playlists to keep you flowing
date night ideas (because we’re not just co-workers, we’re ~in love~)
places that inspire me/Charleston recommendations!
So glad you’re here. See you on Thursday morning for a new issue!
xoxo, Erin
love this! (and the vision board scan is iconic)
