Kindling MN

06/10/2026

One thing I've learned over the past few years is that many people have an idea they're carrying around.

Maybe it's a business.
Maybe it's a side hustle.
Maybe it's a building they've dreamed of bringing back to life.
Maybe it's simply a feeling that they're meant to do something more.

The hard part usually isn't the idea.

It's figuring out the next step.

If you've been kicking around an idea, wondering if something is possible, looking for resources, or just wanting to talk through what comes next, I'd love to connect.

Kindling isn't about having all the answers. It's about helping people gain clarity, build confidence, make connections, and take the next step toward something meaningful.

What's something you've always wanted to create, start, or bring to our community? 🌱

✨ Exciting news for Broadway in Plainview! ✨

Sometimes the best opportunities arrive when you least expect them.
Over the past few months, Kindling has naturally grown into more of an advising, networking, and business support role than a traditional storefront. Because of that, I've decided to pivot the physical Kindling space and focus my energy on helping entrepreneurs and businesses grow in other ways.
And that means I get to share some exciting news...
🌸 Please help me welcome Petal & Pearl Boutique to downtown Plainview! 🤍
Owner Vicki will be bringing a beautiful new clothing boutique to the space, and I couldn't be more excited to see another woman-owned business take root on Broadway.
One of my favorite things is watching people chase their dreams, and I truly believe every new business adds something special to our community. I can't wait to see the space transformed and filled with beautiful clothing, accessories, and happy customers.
Be sure to give Petal & Pearl Boutique a follow and join me in giving Vicki a warm welcome! 💕
Here's to new beginnings, big dreams, and helping our little downtown continue to grow & thrive. 🌿

✨ Looking Ahead to What’s Possible ✨
Kindling is still in its early stages — an idea taking shape, a space being prepared, a spark waiting to catch.
But the heart of it is already very clear.
In the year ahead, my hope is that Kindling becomes a place where people feel brave enough to try. A place for ideas that are still forming, dreams that feel exciting and scary, and businesses that just need a little room to grow before taking a bigger leap.
If 2026 is the year you want to say “this is the year I finally try,” I hope Kindling can play even a small part in that journey, by offering space, encouragement, and a gentle first step forward.
It’s not fully built yet, but the intention is strong:
to create opportunity, to support growth, and to remind people that you don’t have to have it all figured out to begin.
Here’s to new beginnings, quiet courage, and becoming who we’re meant to be, one small spark at a time. 🔥

This song has been living in my head lately. 🎶

It makes me think about tables pulled together, chairs added when someone shows up, coffee poured before it’s asked for. About making room. ☕

I’ve been feeling a quiet pull to create spaces like that... Warm, honest, hopeful. Not loud. Not rushed. Just real, full of dreams & support. ❤

If you have a few minutes, I’d love for you to listen. 🌱
It explains a feeling better than I ever could. 🤍
