In case you missed it last week, I hosted my 12th (!!!) Hope Taylor Workshop, and the last one EVER in Virginia. You can see the full recap HERE!

SO MUCH has happened in the last few weeks…I seriously can’t even believe it sometimes!! At the end of July, we packed up and moved to Charleston, SC. We lived in a hotel for 10 days with two dogs, moved into our new home and unpacked. I spent the two weeks living in Charleston hustling […]
How is July already ending!? Absolute CRAZINESS. I can’t even believe it! But, I saved a good episode for last! In today’s episode I’m breaking down 3 of my favorite EDITING accessories.

And, if you don’t know what I’m talking about, you should probably watch last week’s video 🙂 But we can’t believe this month […]

This week’s video is easily my most favorite episode to date. It is SO special to me!!! If you have been following me for any period of time, then you probably already know this…but my mom is my absolute best friend and favorite human. She is who inspired me to begin a business, who cheered […]
