It's really hard to articulate how something has impacted your world when you don't recognize the person or business you used to be haha.
Here's a list of everything I gained from working with you:
+ The ability to identify who is and who isn't my ideal client
+ The strength to say "no" and to have boundaries
+ The confidence to charge what I want and see the value in it
+ A streamlined process
+ A good marketing strategy with content pillars
+ MONEY. Hahahaha. I earned money, by implementing what we worked through
+ The confidence and skills to implement a sales call
+ A love for celebrating the wins, no matter how small
+ A business that I am proud of and is super successfull
+ A friend, duh!
And my GOD, have I grown in my confidence, mindset and realising my own worth. DAMNNNN! I'm a whole new person. I also raised my prices exponentially, set my boundaries in place, defined and redefined my ideal audience, created a freebie, grew in my confidence, nailed my processes, added new services and so much more. I found my love and passion for my job again. I found balance. I found me.
Working with Chelsea was the most invaluable experience I've had in my business. She's helped me identify my unique place and purpose in the brand + web design industry - it can be hard when there are so many talented designers in the field that you look up to that you can feel like you don't belong or you don't bring value.
She helped uncover the nuances in how I operate in my business that really give my business that magic spark (or place) in the industry. I now feel extremely confident in who my target audience is, what their pain and pleasure points are, what they're struggling with and how I can help them. When you know that information and what that magic spark is about your business, you get SO much clarity and confidence in yourself and your business and everything else just comes so smooth and natural.
Chelsea made the biggest impact in my business and she really helped me grow as a business owner. You need her in your life, like yesterday!
Before working with Chelsea, I had a lot of fear and hesitation surrounding what to charge for my work, the kinds of people I could best serve, and what makes my design business unique from the seventeen million other designers on Instagram.
With her mentorship and support, my business has COMPLETELY shifted. In just six months, I've more than tripled my package prices and am about to raise them again. I've hired team members, outsourced additional support, and expanded my services.
At the start of our time together, Chelsea asked me to make a list of my dream clients - approximately 10-12 people I would love to work with. Now, just six months later, I have actual projects booked with TWO of those people. The power of manifestation? Yes. But also - the power of a truly aligned, supportive, actionable coaching experience.
I am so happy with all that we accomplished from figuring out my ideal client, launching a new service, launching a freebie, working on marketing plans, copywriting and all the endless design knowledge tips you shared with me. BUT the thing that I am most grateful for to have gained from you is all the mindset shifts and knowledge that you helped me with.
I would say 80% of our mentorship was mindset and I am so glad it was because without a healthy mindset the other things would have never fallen into place. Every time I had a mindset issue the feeling of being reassured and just guided by you always made me feel so much better and that I could confidently manage the situation.
You have something really special about you, Chelsea, that allows you to see people for who they are and guide them based on what is best for them not only as a business but as a human being.
Chelsea was the first person to truly stand up for me as a designer. Before working with her I was so unsure of the value of my potential... but right from the get-go Chelsea blew me away with how strongly she believed in me. Straight away I just KNEW she had my back – like I could seriously count on her. Chelsea is caring but honest.
And her delivery of the things I needed to hear most, at the exact time I needed to hear them, was just... pure MAGIC. I cannot thank her enough for helping me let go of the things that were seriously keeping me small. No more will I allow anything into my life that isn't aligned with both my values and dreams. I cannot recommend Chelsea as a coach (and friend) more highly – she is the real deal!

"When I started working with Chelsea, I had actually recently been diagnosed with an autoimmune disease and I thought my business was done. I thought I was going to have to stop working because of my health, but she met me right where I was at. She helped me re-imagine my business and actually restructure so I could work fewer hours, but still make just as much as I was making before so that I could continue doing what I love despite what was going on at that time in my life."

When I first started Honey & Co. four years ago, I vividly remember stayng up at night trying to "crack the code" as to why certain studios seemed to have it all together – the clients, the process, the consistency in work...
While I was over here drowining in strategies and courses, still left feeling as confused and lonely as when I started.
I would wonder if they were just more “cut out” for business ownership than I was. And, if they were, maybe I should just try to replicate what they were doing instead of sitting around feeling defeated. Can you relate?
But, to be honest, trying to replicate what seemed to be working for other studios slowed me down, and did a huge number on my confidence and self worth.
What I came to realize, though, is just how opposite of “one size fits all” running a deisgn business really is – in an online space that would love to convince you otherwise.
In a space that tells you what you should be doing to be successful, I made it my mission to create a program that provides customized support and strategy to help you gain control of your marketing, your projects, and your process – in a way that fully honors who you are.
I created DDBM as the program that I wish existed in my first few years of design-business-ownership. It’s the close-knit support you crave, paired with the accountability and external perspective thats needed to really move the needle for your goals in a big way – over the course of the next six months.
✓ You're a small-to-mid size design studio owner who's ready to move past the start-up phase with high-touch 360° support that adapts and grows with you.
✓ You’re a 9-5 designer who’s ready to go full time freelance and seeking the support you need to finally break out on your own.
✓ You'd love to work with a mentor who marries mindset work, marketing, systems, and strategy.
✓ You're confident in your design skills, but you've been craving support to create sustainability and growth in the next chapter of your studio.
✓ You'd love an open, supportive space to lean into as you experiment, play, and grow (no idea is too big here!).
✓ You're interested in building a sustainable business rooted in your values, over trying to fit into a quick-fix framework to make 6 figures.
ｘ You’re not a designer (graphic, brand, interior)
ｘ You don’t yet have a business (check out my course, The One, for support in laying the foundation of your brand)
ｘ You prefer learning via self-study courses or in a group
ｘ You don’t feel comfortable digging deep into your mindset and self image to break past blocks that might be holding you back from growing
"Chelsea helped me create new lead generation processes, improve my marketing tactics, but most of all she helped me to feel confident in my business.
By the time we finished our work together, I had sent a proposal for 3x what I would have charged at the start of us working together. Not because I wanted more money, but because I understood the value of what I was providing my clients and the transformation that I could help them achieve in their own business.
Chelsea has a wealth of knowledge around running a design business and she doesn’t just tell you what you should be doing, she helps you discover the best steps to take for the success of your own business. I feel so much more capable and I’m certain my business will succeed."
"Chelsea is incredibly thoughtful, kind, and knowledgeable. Chelsea’s ability to uncover unique solutions and opportunities while also guiding you to discover your own answers is amazing.
She helped me with so much from my mindset and perspective, to creating new marketing strategies, to refining/improving service offerings, and so much more.
I am so grateful to have had her support over the last six months and I cannot recommend her enough."
“Working with Chelsea gave me the time, space, and strategy to hone in with confidence on who I am as a brand, and who I'm best suited and most passionate to serve.
She helped me position my business around effectively and strategically communicating my values to my ideal clients, which through her process, we discovered are photographers and florists. She helped me understand the immense value I deliver and promise to my clients, and how to go about talking about it through my content without sounding salesy or unlike myself.
Her process helped me dial in on what makes me unique as a business owner, and gave me permission to lean into my differences, which I now realize are ultimately key reasons why my clients choose me.
She encouraged me to stay true to myself and to avoid following trends that don't feel aligned – which has served as such a great reminder to stay true in everything that I do and trust my vision to guide my growth."
