You have massive goals and dreams for days.
But on thing is holding you back.
UNCERTAINTY.
If you are still operating your business using legal agreements you patch-worked together or "borrowed" online - or worse, if you're using nothing at all to protect yourself - it's time for a wake up call.
The easiest way to explain why I'm so motivated to support business owners is with a story. I wish I didn't have to tell it, honestly. It's embarrassing. But I will not let what happened to me happen to you. So, I'll spill the beans, because you have to hear this...
I got my Juris Doctorate from Duke Law School 26 years ago. After graduation, I worked as a District Attorney. I gave my heart and soul to defending and protecting children who had been sexually abused. My job meant everything to me, and I felt like a full time superhero.
However, I did this work to the detriment of my own health, and I completely neglected to take care of myself. I ran myself into the ground.
My health worsened until I lost the use of my arms and my legs and ended up in a wheelchair. The doctors called it “incurable fatigue” and said I would never walk again. I knew then that if I had any chance of recovering, I would have to become a fierce protector for myself. I began an unconventional and grueling seven-year journey to heal myself (daily bee venom injections or delicious turmeric mud, anyone?) that ultimately led to my discovery that food can heal us from the inside. I made a full recovery.
When I got out of my wheelchair, I became a certified nutrition coach and devoted myself to helping others reclaim their health. Back to serving others! I was over the moon, seeing amazing results for my clients and making a huge difference in their lives.
But this is where I made a huge mistake.
I entered a partnership with another entrepreneur who I respected and trusted… and we proceeded without a written agreement. I should have known better. I am a lawyer, for heaven’s sake! You can probably see what’s coming.
My former partner took all the content I had developed, all the money I had invested, and all the money I should have made in the future from our collaboration. And I couldn’t do anything about it, because I had nothing in writing to protect myself.
I was absolutely devastated.
I was in shock.
But that “fierce protector” in me kicked in again and—the very day it happened—I sat down and began drafting the contracts and agreements every entrepreneur needs to protect her income, her content and the overall wellness of her business.
There was no way I was letting that happen to anyone else.
No ma’am.
Not on my watch.
In the following months, I built a comprehensive collection of all the contracts and structures needed to run a successful (and secure!) online business. Is this an easy story to tell? Ha. No. But on the flip side of that whole experience, I am now in a position to empower remarkable women entrepreneurs to protect their businesses and play big. Yes, it was a harsh lesson, but I use what I learned to help others.
Now I make a big difference to other women entrepreneurs. I know I went through that stress and BS so you don’t have to.
And, I’ve created this to make sure you’re legally covered.

Is there a payment plan option?
I want this to be a total no-brainer, so I've made sure there is a payment plan available. When you arrive at checkout, you'll be able to choose ShopPay as your payment option. Shop Pay gives you the option to pay in full at checkout, or to split your purchase into four equal, bi-weekly, interest-free installment payments.
What exactly is each contract used for?
Website Terms and Conditions: Your Website Terms and Conditions sets up all the ground rules for your website. It tells website visitors how they can (and can’t use your content), what are your online commerce policies, how you handle disputes, and enforces limits on your financial liability in case things go off track. Basically, it makes it much safer to do business online.
Privacy Policy: Your GDPR-Compliant Privacy Policy lets everyone know how you collect, use, share, store and protect your visitors' information on your website. Privacy is a key priority for businesses and this gives your customers confidence that you respect and will protect their privacy.
Website Disclaimer: Your Website Disclaimer tells people who you are and what you do and more importantly, who you are not and what you don’t do. It makes clear what you will not be bringing to the relationship so that you are not improperly blamed for any negative results.
#1 Priority Mini-Disclaimer Pack: Your Mini-Disclaimer and Mini-Mini Disclaimer are two short (and shorter) versions of your business disclaimer that you will use as a powerful first line of defense against getting into legal hot water. Put them on your emails, handouts, PDFs, slides, social media platforms so you know you're buttoned up and not going to get blamed for anything you’re not responsible for.
1:1 Client Agreement: Your 1:1 Client Agreement is for working with your clients in a one-on-one relationship to get you both on the same page before you start working together. It creates clear boundaries around money, scope, and your shared content. With all of the housekeeping handles upfront, you can begin your working relationship with clarity, harmony, and immediate trust.
Terms of Use: Your Terms of Use document is for your group programs, online courses, digital downloads, and evergreen products. It sets up all the rules for the purchase - including use of your content, payments and more in any transaction where you have less direct communication between you and your customer.
Testimonial Release: Your Testimonial Release allows you to use the wonderful things that people write about you in your marketing in a safe and legal way. It gives you permission to use testimonials about you and your business, plus any accompanying names/photos, with confidence and security.
Live Event Publicity Release [aka “Consent to Use Photo, Video & Audio Recordings”]: Your Live Event Publicity Release protects you when you capture photographs, video, and audio recordings for your business. It gives you the right to use media containing other people’s materials (their image, voice, etc.) safely, with certainty that you have permission.
Payment Plan Addendum: Your Payment Plan Addendum sets up your payment terms and payment schedules with the details for each payment reviewed and initialed by your client so that you are protected when offering a client a payment plan. It eliminates the potential for a client to have any “misunderstandings” of their obligations and protects you from being left “high and dry” by a client.
Credit Card Authorization: Your Credit Card Authorization protects you when you create a payment plan with a client, so that you may charge your customer’s card when each payment is due, without having to get any additional authorization.
