Business Tools
Over the years, I've built an online school, taught thousands of students, hosted retreats and events around the world, and raised my daughter while running a growing business. While the heart of this work is rooted in bees, dreams, and the sacred, it also relies on practical systems that help everything run smoothly behind the scenes.
This page is a collection of the tools, platforms, and resources I use regularly in my business. These are the systems that support our courses, community, events, communications, and daily operations, allowing me to focus more of my energy on teaching, creating, and serving our community.
What I use to Run Honey Bee WIld
Honey Bee Wild was built through action, not perfect planning. Many of the courses, retreats, and offerings began before every detail was figured out. I've learned that clarity often arrives after commitment, not before it.
Leap Before You are Ready:
Build Systems That Support the Dream:
Vision, intuition, and creativity are essential, but so are good systems. The right tools, processes, and platforms have allowed me to grow Honey Bee Wild, serve thousands of students, and raise my daughter as a single mother without carrying everything alone.
My Top Takeaways after 10 years of Running a Business:
Let the Work Be Strange:
The more specific, unconventional, and true to the work I've become, the more the right people have found me. Success hasn't come from broadening the message to appeal to everyone, it has come from trusting the unique path and allowing the strangeness to be the signal.

ClickUp
ClickUp is where the business actually lives.
Every course launch, retreat, email sequence, student cohort, and behind-the-scenes project is organized inside ClickUp, making it the central hub for Honey Bee Wild. My assistant and I work from shared dashboards, timelines, and task lists, which keeps everyone aligned, reduces overwhelm, and ensures far less falls through the cracks. It's the tool that helps turn ideas and inspiration into well-organized action.

Flodesk is my email platform and one of the few business tools I recommend without hesitation. I've used it for years to send newsletters, launch courses, nurture my community, and stay connected with students around the world. It's women-owned, beautifully designed, and built with creatives in mind. The templates are elegant, the workflows are intuitive, and the pricing stays simple as your email list grows. I also use Flodesk Checkout for some of my sales, allowing my email marketing and payment systems to work seamlessly together.

Circle is home to Kindred Beekeepers, my apprenticeship programs, and our online community spaces.
After experimenting with other platforms, I chose Circle because it creates a more intentional learning environment—one that is free from social media distractions and attention-grabbing algorithms. It gives students a dedicated space to connect, learn, ask questions, and build meaningful relationships with fellow dreamers and beekeepers.

Showit
Showit is the platform that powers my website.
I moved from Squarespace because I wanted greater design freedom and more control over the user experience. Showit's intuitive drag-and-drop builder allows me to create a site that feels uniquely aligned with my work.
Some of the links on this page are affiliate links, which means I may receive a small commission if you sign up through them, at no additional cost to you.
Thank you for supporting this single-mother-run business and helping Honey Bee Wild continue to grow.

Some Favorite Business Books & Pocasts
Not technically a business book, which is precisely why I recommend it. Gilbert writes about creativity as a practice of courage, curiosity, and relationship.
Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert
Amy is the person I credit with teaching me how launches actually work. Her approach is methodical, generous, and deeply practical.
Online Marketing Made Easy with Amy Porterfield
One of the first business podcasts I listened to consistently. Jenna’s show taught me the language of online business: launches, email lists, Instagram, pricing, and the mechanics of building a creative business as a woman.
Goal Digger with Jenna Kutcher
This book mattered to me during a season when I was still untangling my relationship with money and earning as a woman doing spiritually oriented work.
You Are a Badass at Making Money by Jen Sincero
Officially a book about writing. Practically a book about how to continue any creative work without losing your mind.
Bird by Bird by Anne Lamott
