In this episode I interview my long time friend and OG Blogger Kaileen Elise Sues. Kaileen has been in the online space for over a decade with her personal blog kaileenelise.com. She runs a series of workshops about reflection and intention at Celebrate Cultivate, is the co-host of That’s Pretty Woo podcast, and since recording this episode… she launched a website design business for entrepreneurs who want a gorgeous and functional website, but don't want to teach themselves Squarespace.

Which is totally me!! Please go check out my brand new website that Kaileen built: ambitioussoul.co!

We chat about how in 2009 Kaileen started her website as a creative break from her corporate day job. What she didn't know at the time was that writing and connecting online would be a huge source of support when she left Corporate America to become a full time mama. A year after her second child was born, Kaileen’s creative heart started pulling her back towards wanting to work. But this time she decided to build her own business!

In August, Kaileen and her co-host Jordan launched That’s Pretty Woo, a weekly podcast that's girl talk and deep conversations about all things life, beauty, magic, and woo-woo!

Kaileen also added a website design business to her creative mix! Kaileen is passionate about helping entrepreneurs build beautiful websites with simplicity and ease. In this episode we discuss the evolution of blogging over the years. We ask the questions: Is blogging dead? Whats the deal with SEO? Whats in a domain name? … and what advice Kaileen has for someone thinking of starting a blog in 2019.

Kaileen lives in sunny Austin, Texas with her husband and two babes. She loves to curate her belongings, her Instagram feed, and her intentions.
