Meet Our Team
Meet The PSP Gals
Permanent Guests on the Chronically Cultivating Podcast and sometimes here on the blog too!
Meet Maura, Lauren, and Sam! Together with Cassie, we are the Powersheet Prep Gals! We are four best friends who love to take the guesswork out of goal setting, dive in and make a mess, while doing real life together ✨
Here you’ll find us throwing confetti, ringing cowbells, and encouraging one another to cultivate what matters with our PowerSheets Intentional Goal Planners.
We, The PowerSheet Prep Gals, get lots of questions about how we started goal setting together, so we wanted to share some of the things we’ve learned along the way with you as you cultivate your own friendships.
(Wondering what powersheets are? Start here! Want to shop 2022 powersheets? Click here!)
We can’t wait to cheer you on! You can connect with us on instagram @thepspgals
