Mighty Measure

I'm proud to share that I’ve renewed my commitment through People and Planet First, a global community of businesses dedicated to putting impact before profit - and proving it with action.

This isn’t just a badge.
It’s a public declaration that Mighty Epiphyte is in it for the long haul:

- Prioritizing equity, climate justice, and care in every decision.
- Practicing what I guide clients to do: transparency, improvement, accountability.
- Staying aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals and benefit-first business practices.

This movement helps solopreneurs and small businesses show what integrity in business looks like - and offers visibility for those choosing better ways to work.

I'm honored to share that I’ve been recertified with Benefit Corporations for Good - a community committed to equity, sustainability, and doing business differently. Grateful to Tom Herring and the BCFG team for creating a space where impact matters.

This year’s score is solid - and I celebrate that.

But a few areas dipped slightly from last year. That might surprise some, but for me, it’s a sign of real progress.

Why?
Because I believe in asking: What is good enough?
And then: How can I do better?

True impact work means ongoing reflection, deep listening, and the courage to notice where we can reduce harm, become less extractive, and move toward reciprocity - not in silos, but in connection. With people. With planet. With purpose.

This isn’t a checklist. It’s a practice.

Onward. Always.

To those who celebrate, we wish you a joyous and peaceful Christmas filled with warmth, gratitude, and moments of rest.

For everyone, this season is a reminder of the power of generosity and shared purpose - values that unite us all.

Thank you for being part of the Mighty Epiphyte community.

Here’s to making a difference, together, as we head into a new year of possibility!

Today is International Human Rights Day

As business leaders, entrepreneurs, and changemakers, we hold a powerful responsibility: to uphold and champion human rights in every decision we make.

From fair wages to equitable governance, from creating safe workplaces to building communities where dignity and respect are non-negotiable... our choices ripple far beyond the walls of our organizations.

At Mighty Epiphyte, we believe business can be a force for good by embedding equity-centered, anti-oppressive practices into everyday operations.

This aligns with the spirit of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) - notably, SDG 5: Gender Equality, SDG 10: Reduced Inequalities, and SDG 16: Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions.

What can we do today?

1. Conduct a human rights audit of your supply chain and operations.
2. Commit to creating policies that actively dismantle systems of oppression.
3. Advocate for inclusive practices that amplify the voices of marginalized groups.

Small steps lead to lasting change.

Together, let’s ensure that the principles of human rights guide our businesses and inspire our impact... one decision, and one impact at a time.

December is National Write a Business Plan Month, and for mission-driven entrepreneurs, it’s the perfect moment to pause, reflect, and plan for 2026 with intention.

A purpose-driven business plan is more than just a roadmap to profitability - it’s a declaration of your values and a commitment to creating a lasting positive impact.

As 2026 approaches, what kind of future are you building for your business, your community, and the planet?

Challenge yourself to think beyond the numbers.

Craft a plan that sets your business on a course for both purpose and profit.
