Hey friend
I’m Mary Elaine, and I’m so glad you’re here!
I’m a veteran spouse, mother of two, entrepreneur, enneagram 3, red wine enthusiast and doodle mom. I live on a small island in Georgia and my husband and I both work from home as co-founders of a successful business. We lead a team of over 80 people (mostly military spouses) spread throughout the country all while homeschooling our 10 & 6 year old kiddos.
If you’re passionate about building meaningful & thriving relationships and an intentional life, while discovering your purpose, maximizing your productivity, and balancing your career with motherhood - you’re in the right place. I hope I can be a safe place for you to fill your cup, have a laugh, and be encouraged.
