I went to SF for 2 weeks with Bowie to explore getting a second place there and had the best time! 

Of course two girls who don’t drink decided to take a day trip to Napa to attend a conference. Obviously Bowie attended as well. We all had a blast. 

After 2 busy weeks in SF, a day trip to the beautiful nature of Napa was so welcome. 

We found this beautiful, cozy area and rested in the sun and talked about life. It was so beautiful. 

@stellaaliu as we travel, we’re both making deals happen. It’s so fun :) 

If my future husband doesn’t look at me with this much love, I don’t want it 💁🏽‍♀️

Never enough time :) caught up quickly with my friend @drhalland at the Four Seasons 

Stella invited me to a lovely party in SF of one of her friend groups. They are such wonderful humans. 

I think this photo doesn’t need a caption. 

Had so much fun exploring SF with my sweet soul friend @nouukaa 

So grateful for friends who are on the same wavelength and doing meaningful work in the world. Hopped on the stage to film a little content. To go from friend catch up to filming content because everyone is doing epic things. That’s a friend love language for me :) 

Had so much fun catching up with friends - and made some new ones - at the @actaiventures LP event. The companies they’re investing in are so incredible. (This is not investment advice 😂) 

It’s so special to be surrounded by powerhouse women who champion one another.

I’m just so grateful for moments like these. A random weekday walk through the park with a female entrepreneur building her dream life with intention and kindness. @nouukaa 

Rooftop Fleet Week get together to watch the incredible mastery of these pilots. I am so inspired by the elite accomplishments of people in their chosen field. 

So gracious of @actaiventures to give each person in attendance the airtime to share what they are working on. This community is a culture of contribution, kindness and curiosity. Of leaving spaces better off than we found them. I’m so grateful for it and have made so many great friends. @actaiglobal 

Got to hear from the legend @kitevc on how he consistently chooses unicorns. I was taking notes the whole time! I taken in San Francisco, California by @leilabelmahi

What if there were no right or wrong choices? What if we approached life like a video game—following our curiosity, choosing what excites us, and embracing the adventure of the unknowns in our journey? 

What if, instead of trying to make the perfect choice, we simply chose what made us feel most alive? taken in Malibu, California by @leilabelmahi

Thank you, Bali for an amazing 3 weeks. The Balinese culture is a masterclass in presence, hospitality and treating everyone like family.  I had the honor of attending my third @actaiglobal event, bookended by solo retreats in the jungle. The theme of kindness came up a lot over those weeks. The ACTAI community is so filled with dynamic, accomplished entrepreneurs. But what I love most is the culture of kindness — people genuinely wanting to help one another, raise each other up, and to see each other succeed.

My time solo traveling helped remind me that we must give that same kindness to ourselves. Giving ourselves the space to get still, spend time alone, look inward, and listen to what we actually need.

The kindness I experienced from strangers in Bali was truly moving and it taught me a lot about new ways to be softer and gentler with myself and others. 🤍 taken in The Ungasan Clifftop Resort, Uluwatu by @leilabelmahi

I’m so proud to work on an equity and profit share basis with some of the most exciting up-and-coming franchise brands in the country and help them grow nationally through consumer marketing and franchise growth. In other words, I help up-and-coming franchises market themselves as a national brand and find them amazing franchisees to scale. And I help entrepreneurs find the best franchises for their skills, passions and lifestyle aspirations. 

I truly believe franchising is one of the most powerful business models in the world. It gives founders the ability to scale while protecting the quality, culture, and vision that made their business special in the first place. And it gives franchisees something equally valuable: a proven playbook, mentorship, and a path to business ownership. Over half of businesses fail. But nearly every franchise is successful. 

I believe every hardworking person deserves the opportunity to create abundance in their life. Franchising creates that opportunity—not just for founders, but for families, entrepreneurs, and communities across the country.

It’s an incredible privilege to help connect world-class brands with exceptional people and watch those dreams become reality.

Here’s to building businesses that create opportunity, freedom, and lasting impact. These are some videos from the last week visiting with some of my favorite franchises @onthehookcod @sugarmousecupcakehouse

Test shoot for something exciting I’m launching in the franchise world. ✨

About a decade ago, I founded a leading marketing and strategy firm. We had the honor of working with brands like Microsoft, NASA, and Blue Origin—helping world-class companies use marketing dollars to give back to the communities they served, and in the process, raising awareness. Marketing for social good. I loved the mission but I didn’t love the model. 

So I evolved the model. 

Today, I use the same brand and growth playbook to help promising franchises scale. I lead brand and consumer marketing to increase brand equity and I lead franchise growth through driving meaningful franchise sales expansion. 

I work exclusively on a profit-share basis. I love this partnership more than the agency model because we don’t have to worry about what’s in scope or out of scope. I’m just a teammate with the businesses I partner with. And we build amazing things together. 

I used to help the big brands get bigger. Now I love helping pioneering brands become the next big ones.

We’re building something the franchise world has never seen. And I’m so excited to share it with you soon. ✨ taken in Los Angeles, California by @leilabelmahi

Life lately.

Epic ACTAI dinners. Learning to surf. Quick trip to San Francisco, playing tourist in a city I always love coming back to. Slow mornings, beach sunsets in Malibu, and remembering that some of the best seasons of life aren’t the ones you plan—they’re the ones that find you.

Grateful for this chapter. 🌊✈️🤍 by @leilabelmahi

Isn’t it so beautiful to spend time with the people who love us unconditionally through all the versions of ourselves—and who we get to love and support through all the versions they are, and will become?

Feeling so grateful for my amazing family and for this beautiful week we got to spend together in Montreal. 🤍

My little brother, his girlfriend and my little cousin!

The girls 🤍

My little brother wanted to learn how to salsa! 💃🏽

My brother crushes VR…

What if the most amazing things for us are on the other side of letting go of the outcome we ‘believe’ is right? 

There is something incredibly peaceful about believing that what is meant for you cannot miss you.

Not giving up. Not caring less. Just releasing the need to control the details and trusting that what is meant for us will find us.

That the world unfolds in more magical and beautiful ways than we could ever plan for ourselves. 

As long as we put out kindness, integrity, light and joy. 

The more I surrender my timelines, my expectations, and the stories I tell myself about how things should happen, the more I find that magical things - even better than I could have planned - find me. 

And in that space, I’ve found so much gratitude.

I’m realizing that life has a way of delivering things far better what we could organize, force, or predict on our own. The most beautiful opportunities, relationships, and experiences often arrive when we stop gripping so tightly and simply allow them to unfold.

In that space, we find what is truly meant for us. Because it is seeking us. I love the idea of letting things go and seeing what comes to us in ways more magical than we could have ever imagined. 

These photos were a photo shoot that happened serendipitously with an amazing photographer who saw us at an event and asked to pose us. I think he captured some beautiful moments that we would have never naturally posed for but were better than we could have planned 🤍

Sunshine, Bowie, and a reminder that the best parts of life are often the simplest.

Feeling so grateful for the life I’m building. I believe happiness isn’t something you find—it’s something you build, it’s something you choose, it’s something that comes from within, one intentional decision at a time. 🤍 taken in Pura Vida Miami - Malibu by @leilabelmahi

What a special trip with @summit to Bimini with 2000+ entrepreneurs on a Virgin Cruise to the Bahamas with seminars on longevity, peak performance, leadership and personal growth. I’m so grateful for the beautiful friendships I made on this trip. I lost my voice on the last day and tried an experiment. I just sat alone at a table and waited for someone to come up to me - to have the universe bring the right people to me. The second to last photo in the carousel is from me sitting down to lunch purposefully alone. My promise to myself that day was that I wouldn’t start any conversation first (which is hard for me because I love meeting new people). But I must say, the universe always brings us better things than we could ever plan. And I made the most beautiful connections on that last day! 🤍✨ by @leilabelmahi

Had the best long weekend in Vancouver with my dear friend @daniellefeldheim. One of the greatest luxuries in life is having people in our lives who see and celebrate the truest version of ourselves. Grateful for the little moments of friendship that bring so much joy and meaning to life. ☀️✨ by @leilabelmahi
