Welcome—grab your favorite beverage, and let’s talk about why doing things ‘the right way’ is overrated.

I know, not what you’d expect from someone who’s spent years helping people build their online businesses. But hear me out…

For too long, we’ve been fed the idea that success looks a certain way—structured, optimized, following a proven path. But the truth? The best businesses (and the best lives) are built by figuring out what works for you—not by following someone else’s blueprint.

I don’t know about you, but a lot of people make running a business look effortless—like if you just follow the right steps, success will fall into place.

But let’s be real… it’s never that simple.

What if you’re juggling work, life, and a million responsibilities? What if you’re introverted or just really tired of all the one-size-fits-all business advice? And what if you want to build something meaningful—without running yourself into the ground?

Can you create a thriving, profitable, low-stress business without following the traditional path? Can you do it without chasing every trend, overcomplicating things, or losing sight of what actually matters?

That’s why I’m here to help guide you through the noise and doubt.

If you’re a solopreneur, creative, or someone who’s tired and on information overload, you’re in the right place. I’m here to help you overcome overwhelm, simplify your business, and focus on what actually works for you.

Think of me as the navigator to your journey—helping you find your way, dodge the roadblocks, and actually enjoy the ride.

But first, let me tell you a bit about me…

Hey, I’m Lee—welcome to The Digital Navigator.

This photo captures me perfectly—sturdy, grounded, and shaped by experience. Each branch tells a story: a challenge faced, a lesson learned, a moment of beauty uncovered. I may not always be polished, but I stand resilient through every storm, finding strength and meaning in the twists and turns.

I thought I had it all figured out.

I built a business that gave me the freedom to work from anywhere, set my schedule, and design a life that actually fit me. I had spent years helping others simplify, streamline, and step away from the grind. I was living proof that you didn’t have to follow the traditional path to build something meaningful.

And then life threw me a curveball.

After 17 years of running my agency, I found myself at a crossroads. The business I had poured everything into no longer felt like me. I was tired—not of the work itself, but of the way I had built it. I had always preached about designing a business that fits your life, but somehow, I had let mine take up too much space.

I knew something had to change.

But change—even when you choose it—is messy. It comes with doubts, second-guessing, and a whole lot of "What now?" I felt unmoored, unsure of what came next, and questioned whether I could build something new without starting over from scratch.

So, I started untangling the pieces. I asked myself the hard questions: What do I actually want? What parts of my work do I love? What can I let go of?

And that’s how I found my way here—helping solopreneurs and indie creatives navigate their own crossroads, simplify their businesses, and build something that truly fits. Because I know what it feels like to be stuck between where you are and where you want to be.

So, is running a sustainable, fulfilling business possible without stress, hustle, and burnout? Can you simplify without losing what matters most?

That’s exactly what I’m here to figure out—with you.

So, why subscribe?

Here, you’ll get my honest thoughts on the realities of running a business while also trying to navigate life. No fluff, no hustle talk—just real insights on what works, what doesn’t, and how to make this whole thing fit you.

I write about the stuff no one talks about when you’re building something on your own:

  • How do you simplify your business so it works for you (not the other way around)?

  • How do we move past being overwhelmed and actually get things done?

  • How to create with ease, sell without the sleaze, and build a business that lasts.

And because I love helping people take action, I also share workshops, tools, and strategies—practical ways to make your business simpler, smoother, and more sustainable.
