Hey, I’m steph.
I’m a business manager, educator, and hype-woman for artists who are ready to take their careers seriously - without selling out or burning out.
I help musicians and creative entrepreneurs build real-deal businesses with clarity, strategy, and confidence - all rooted in radical honesty and that wild, sparkly thing called passion.
If you’re ready to level up (without losing your soul in the process), you’re in the right place.
Ever feel like you’re crushing it creatively, but totally winging it when it comes to running your business?
You’re amazing at the music part - the writing, the performing, the vision. But behind the scenes? It’s a chaotic blur of late invoices, underpaid gigs, and saying yes to things that drain your energy (and your bank account).
You know you’re undercharging, but you’re scared to raise your rates because what if the clients disappear?
You’ve heard you should probably register an LLC… but how? You’re not sure if you need insurance, a trademark, or what that sketchy contract actually says - and honestly, your eyes glaze over every time you try to read it.
Then there’s the tax stuff. Bookkeeping? A mess. Estimates? Confusing. Sales tax on merch? Who even knows.
You’re not lazy or dumb - you’re overloaded.
It’s not your fault you never learned these things. And you’re definitely not alone.
Trying to build a creative career with no roadmap, no one to ask, and no idea how to manage the business side?
It’s exhausting.
But you’re not failing - you just need guidance.
You are meant for more.
If you’re nodding along, it’s time. Let’s get you the tools, clarity, and support to make it happen.

THIS ISN’T JUST BUSINESS ADVICE
This is a safe space for those chasing creative freedom — and craving financial peace.
The artists, the overthinkers, the burned-out tour managers, the spreadsheet-shy dreamers, the ones who’ve been told they’re “not business-minded.”
I'm not here to lecture you or tell you how to spend your money. I'm here to walk with you - through the numbers, the mindset shifts, the stresses, the breakthroughs - so you can build a business that actually feels like yours, and works for you.
I’ve spent 20 years backstage, behind the books, in the marketing meetings, on the phone with the IRS, and in conference rooms with creatives just like you. Now I teach, coach, and guide artists to step into their full power — with systems that support your spirit, not suffocate it.
You’ve done the DIY thing - now get some VIP support.

Meet steph
Hi, I’m Steph. A little silly, wildly optimistic, deeply ambitious, and madly in love with music.
If you’re making magic on stage and in the studio, but your business and bank account are stressing you out, you’re in the right place. I know how to help you - because I was you.
When I dropped out of grad school in 2006, I had just been rejected from my dream job at House of Blues, my dad was battling cancer, and I had $132,000 in student loan debt. Scared and lost, I bailed on my lease, packed up my car, and did what any chaotic music lover would do - I went on tour.
Along the way, I made every financial mistake a 23-year-old girl could make.
Now, I help musicians and creatives build real-deal businesses, set prices confidently, and stop feeling like a hot mess express when tax season rolls around. I run a thriving business management firm, which has allowed me to own a home with my husband and three kids, travel, save for retirement, and I’ve almost paid off those student loans.
But the road to success wasn’t always a smooth ride…
My CLIENTS
My clients are creative entrepreneurs who are shaping their local arts and culture scenes on a daily basis. They’re visual artists, audio engineers, producers, managers, agents, teachers, songwriters, dancers, philanthropists. They’re deeply empathetic, constantly seeking soul-to-soul connections through art and music.
They feel the pull of something bigger - a vision they can’t shake, a sound that won’t stop playing in their head.
They’re tired of playing small, or playing safe. They’re worried about the future of arts and culture. They want to dream bigger, without fear or limitations.
Some feel stuck in jobs that drain their spirit, wondering if they’ll ever get to call music their real career.
Others are already deep in it - on the road, in the studio, chasing deadlines and dreams - but craving more clarity, more structure, more support.
They feel the tension of being wildly creative and financially responsible.
Of wanting freedom and stability.
Of building something real - something lasting - on their own terms.
They are artists, yes. But also visionaries, hustlers, healers, community-builders, truth-tellers.
They don’t just want a fanbase.
They want a movement.
They feel deeply. They give generously. They carry a thousand stories inside them and use their craft to release these stories into their communities.
They LIVE - big, bold, gloriously.
My clients want to get paid - and they want to use their income to make a difference where they live.
They want to feed their families and feed their culture.
They’re not sitting around, waiting to be discovered. They’re building something new and beautiful, from the ground up.
These are the people I work with, and if you're reading this, you might be one of them.
Are you ready to get serious about what you’re here to create?
