Bio

I have worked with many fun organizations on a volunteer basis. Salt Lake Center for Spiritual Living, Big Sky Retreat, and TEDxSaltLakeCity are the most recent, covering the past 10 years. Sales and business management are things I have been doing since I was a small child. I had a natural inclination towards these things. I have always enjoyed meeting new people and find this a fun field. I have also been a photographer since I was a very young child. I loved art and the joy of seeing the photos come together. Video is a newer experience for me, however, it seems to be a natural process for me. I have really been enjoying creating short videos and playing with the editing software to create the videos. I'm self-taught on all of these things and have a great skill for seeking out the supportive information needed to build new talents.

I'm passionate about

Personal development, photography, videography, and finding joy in every moment possible every day. Living Joyfully. Providing classes & seminars to help people to find their joy and passions again.

An idea worth spreading

I believe we can all LIVE in Joy & Love!!!

Areas of expertise

AV & Photography, Personal Development, Research & Skill Development, Sales & Marketing

The TED story

I fell in Jan 2017 and sustained a serious concussion that I still play with sometimes. I was very debilitated and was only conscious a few hours per day - I was still struggling most of the day over 5 years later. During this time I fought with all the strength (literally) I had to fight with. I even put a picture of Guinevere, with her blade back and in motion ready to strike, in my phone to remind me to keep pushing my limits. I used this time to take advantage of the re-growth to heal my brain. I spent every minute I was awake creating nutrition for my brain, listening to information that would take me where I wanted to land when I recovered, and forcing myself (to the best of my ability) to keep trying to learn - even though I couldn't remember most of the things I tried to study. Retention was really just not good, maybe 10%-20% in the long run. I could learn something new within a 2-3 week time period - anything longer than that seemed to disappear and I had to start over. If I didn't continue to use it, it disappeared. It wasn't a total waste of time, however. During this time I learned how to setup my Sassy Jo Creations, Inc. corporation papers - some of it almost cost me a few thousand in taxes and penalties, but they helped me fix it when I told them what happened. I created my logo's and my structure for my classes. I found my equipment for audio & video production company. I built my Business Model Canvas and my Vision for my company. I found myself setup over a 4-5 year period so that when my function improved I had a business to build. My function has improved enough that I am planning to work part-time doing some classes and creating some videos this year. If all goes well you can see me launch my business officially in 2024. At Sassy Jo Creations, Inc we believe that life is a Journey, you are the Creator of your Journey, Empowering the Life you would Love is a Choice, and Individual Evolution is the Journey to Wholeness & the Life you Love!!! We hold classes & seminars that Empower Individual Evolution and Proactive Life Creation by providing tools & vision to empower individuals and groups to take consistent daily steps toward creating their journey's & evolving into Dynamic Expressions of their SASSY LIFE!!!
