We were fortunate to catch up with some brilliant artists, creatives and entrepreneurs from throughout the Houston area and they share the wisdom with us below.

Macey Alexander

Giving my business to the Lord. I had heard other entrepreneurs say phrases along the lines of, “make God your CEO.” I didn’t fully understand that until I built my business. For me, that looks like tithing, praying over my clients and their wedding days, and bringing joy to each session or wedding I am graced to be a part of. I am a full believer that God grants us the desires of our heart, and my heart was to build a successful photography business that allowed me to have the flexibility to be home and raise my son. It only felt right to lead the business in light of Jesus since he blessed me with it in the first place. Read More>>

Birth work is a calling—truly. I hear stories from other birth workers and how they got into this divine space of childbirth. I can state confidently that almost every birth worker I have spoken to about their industry has either heard from God or felt a deep sense of calling to this sacred space—childbirth. Read More>>

I pursued an artistic career because it was very well known to me. Both of my parents had musical backgrounds. It was almost Second Nature for me to be able to sing and play several instruments. Music has been passed down generations in my family. Read More>>

Music isn’t actually my career, and I’m really glad it’s not actually. Even at the highest level it’s such a hustle, always having to be on, grinding. I just want to create. I was fortunate enough to have a band that recorded in a big studio when I was quite young and from that moment on it was all I wanted to do. Music is my full time hobby, which for me means I work at it harder than some who do it as a fulltime job. Read More>>

Work life balance was something that I longed for before starting my business. I worked in corporate for years after graduating college & did hair part time on the side. This left me drained & having little energy to pour into my son & myself. I would work 9am-6pm & go to the hair salon from 6:30pm-1/2am. Read More>>
