Hi, I’m Emily Aborn!

I’m the witty(ish) wordsmith behind this card deck. I’m a Small Business Copywriter & Marketing Consultant, podcast host of Small Business Casual, and lover of actually living life while running my business.

No surprises here, I focus on helping individuals design a sustainable, cozy, and thriving business tailored to your lifestyle (not the other way around).

When I’m not working, you can find me tromping around the woods in search of furry friends, reading, and basking in moments of uninterrupted silence. 

And because I know to stay in my own lane, this card deck was designed by Chantelle Davis Gray, Squarespace website designer, branding, and card deck designer for do-good, feel-good businesses (like yours!). Connect with Chantelle at chantelledavisgray.com

Instructions for Safe Use:

Throw all caution to the wind...

Step one: Shuffle deck.

Step two: Pull a card.

Step three: Instantly feel more capable, silly, or creative.

Yup, that’s it! There are no rules here and no wrong way to do this. So, go on, stall for another minute or two before opening that inbox… Treat yourself.

The fine print: This deck will not prevent individuals without common sense from approaching you or asking to borrow yours.

It will not do your work for you. These cards can’t explain what you do (again) to your mother or sister-in-law.

Side effects may include spontaneous bouts of productivity, increased inspiration, and elevated levels of courage. Do not consult anyone else or poll your audience for opinions prior to use.
