Seeds of Joy Mastermind & Retreat
Business Ownership Made
Joyful
Redefine success by the joy you cultivate, not the grind you endure.
For small business owners who are ready to step off the hamster wheel and rediscover the joy in their work. The Seeds of Joy Mastermind is a cohort-style, virtual training program that results in an in-person retreat. With the Joy Ambassador as your guide, you’ll get the support, clarity, and tools needed to build and scale your business without sacrificing your joyful vision for life.
Reconnect with the vision that sparked it all!
Remember why you started this journey. Maybe it was the dream of having more freedom—setting your own schedule, being your own boss, or creating something that truly mattered. Perhaps it was about financial security or the joy of making an impact in your community.
You’ve worked hard to turn that vision into a reality, and you’ve achieved so much along the way.
But as your business has grown, so have the demands on your time, energy, and focus. The joy and excitement you felt at the start is harder to find now, buried under endless to-do lists.
The fire that fueled you back then may be dimmer—but it’s still there, waiting to be reignited.
Imagine what it would feel like to step back into alignment with that original vision—to not just run your business, but to design a life that lights you up.
If you’ve ever wondered, “Isn’t this supposed to feel better than this?”—you’re not alone.
Build your businesses without sacrificing your joyful vision for life.
The Seeds of Joy Mastermind is your path forward—a chance to develop the strategies, tools, and relationships you need to build a business—and life—full of joy that you love
Sound
familiar?
You Say Yes, More Than No
Fear of missing out on opportunities has you agreeing to more than you can handle, at the expense of your time and energy.
It's All Falling On You
You're wearing all the hats in your business and it's is leaving you feeling stretched thin and overwhelmed.
Your Life Revolves Around Your Business
You’re ready for a shift—a business that aligns with and supports the vision you hold for your dream life.
The Freedom You Imagined Feels Far Away
Instead of experiencing the flexibility and control you dreamed of, making business ownership feel like it’s more work than reward.
You’re Working 24/7
You constantly feel behind and are struggling with pressure to be productive. This forces you to say no to family, fun, and friends more than you’d like; making life feel unbalanced.
Your Systems Aren’t Supporting Your Success.
The processes you’re using were great at the start, but they aren't cutting it anymore. You’re ready for systems that save time and help you growth.
If you answered YES to any of these you’re in the RIGHT PLACE!
This is Where The Seeds of Joy Mastermind Comes In

Rewrite the Rules:
Build a Business That Puts Joy First
Most of what we’re taught about building a business normalizes hustle culture and self-sacrifice. We’re told to grind harder, push through, and prioritize success at any cost—often at the expense of our well-being.
But joy isn’t something to consider only after you’ve reached your breaking point, you're burnout, and other areas of your life have suffered. We shouldn’t have to wait for a crisis to pause and rethink how we work.
Imagine what’s possible when joy is built into the foundation of your business—a life where your work energizes you, aligns with your vision, and creates the space you need to thrive.
The truth is: Joy is not a reward; it’s a strategy.
And the time to embrace it is now.
Step Inside...
3 months of jammed pack value and support.
Laying the Groundwork for Joyful Growth
The two lessons for this month cover creating a powerful vision for your business and setting boundaries that honor your joy.
We’ll kick things off with fun surprises and a lively, energizing session to set the tone for your transformational journey. The first module, Joyful Vision, helps you reconnect with the "why" behind your business.
You’ll clarify what success truly looks like and explore how joy fits into your professional and personal goals. In Your Joyful No, we’ll dive into boundary-setting strategies that empower you to protect your time and energy while saying yes to opportunities that align with your vision.
2 Day All-inclusive Retreat
Picture this: a relaxing three days dedicated to you, your growth, and the joy-filled business you’re building. We’ll step away from the demands of daily life to immerse ourselves in a restorative experience. Think, joy breaks designed to replenish your energy, group sessions with inspiring guest facilitators, and intentional time to connect with yourself and your cohort.
Together, we’ll reflect, share learnings, and celebrate your progress. We’ll close our time with a special ritual to honor your journey—leaving you ready to lead boldly. Oh, and don’t worry there will be surprises sprinkled throughout.

I know this works—this process is what I used in my previous business that I "joyfully sold" and is what shapes the work we do at The Joy Collaborative. I believe in this and I have seen it help countless business owners like you, shift their relationship to their work and grow their business.
I want the same for you!

You're an educator, well what do you teach?I teach amazing college students. My doctoral background is in ethnic studies and critical gender studies. My research interests are critical race theory, queer theory, feminist epistemology, gender, religion, and love (yup I love talking about love). So that means I can teach a wide variety of classes on everything from feminist social movements and introduction to Black studies, to women in hip hop and religion, culture, & freedom. My education gives me a unique lens that I use to create bridges between theory and praxis. This is an invaluable benefit to my clients because it helps me teach complex concepts to people in fun and accessible ways (fun being the keyword.

Why do you call yourself the Joy Ambassador?I call myself the Joy Ambassador because I am the champion of all things joy! I believe joy is essential—not just the reward we get after working hard, but part of the journey itself. I am committed to promoting joyful living and helping people like you reimagine your relationship with work, turning it into a source of joy and sustained fulfillment.

What’s a joy break?A Joy break is an intentional break that you take during your day to do (or not do, that’s just as valid) something that makes you happy & brings you joy. A joy break challenges our society’s obsession with being productive, with extracting our labor, and the pressure to be “on” and “available”. It acknowledges that taking a break to rest or do something purely for joy’s sake is its own form of liberation. The multi-trillion dollar self-care industry will have you believe that when we take a break it needs to be something glamorous, worthy of a story to tell. However, joy can be found in the simplest of endeavors. A picnic at the park, a nap, or catching up with a friend; just as they can be found in the greatest of luxuries. A Joy Break encourages you to cultivate healthy boundaries with your work and shield your eyes from the faux luster of hustler culture. Because you are meant for more than work. 💕

Why does joy in work matter?Joy in work matters because it shapes our lives, both inside and outside the office. People are no longer willing to settle (and rightfully so) for toxic work environments—1 in 5 employees will walk away because of a bad work culture. Happy, fulfilled people don’t just perform better; they’re more collaborative and less likely to burn out. With 57% of employees struggling with work-related stress, prioritizing joy isn’t just a perk—it’s essential for building healthier, more sustainable workplaces. For small business owners, joy means you don’t have to choose between a successful business and a meaningful and joyful life. Whether you’re on payroll or signing the checks, you deserve work that brings you to life…that gives you joy. That’s exactly why I’m so passionate about what I do.
