Hi there! My name is Clarrisa and I’m so happy you’re here! This site is dedicated to helping women accomplish their goals- to finally getting to those things that you have always wanted to do, and have not done yet.

Maybe you haven’t because you were too scared to dive in, take the plunge, start up– well, you get it.

I want to help YOU to embark on your journey, wherever that is! My focus will be, for example; to learn how to create an Etsy Shop, or to start a Blog, or learn about sewing and patterns, to tackling organization, to improving your emotional well-being, and tips to getting out of debt, saving money, or getting a better job.

Or, in other words, I want to help you change your life for the better! So that you can become happier, and achieve the success that you are looking for! (the why comes further down this page)

I am a writer, a blogger, a marketer, a designer, a sewist, an improvement coach, and most importantly to me, a wife. I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Sociology, and over 20 years experience in product marketing and coaching.

I’ve been so lucky to have had a lot of success. And I can tell you that I have definitely not done it alone! We all need help along the way, don’t we?

BUT– I’ve also failed SO MANY TIMES– at so many things.

Though, with FAILURE comes growth. And with GROWTH we get the fuel that also gives us COURAGE.

And courage leads to taking CHANCES and making CHANGES. And if you keep at it, eventually I believe those changes will lead you to happiness. See how that works?

Failing is not bad, it’s just a point on your path!

Failure–> Growth–> Courage–> Chances–> Changes–> Happiness

About You!

But enough about me. Let’s talk about you! Have you ever asked yourself, “Can I really change my life?”

I believe you can. Why? Because I’ve done it! Don’t get me wrong, it does take so much hard work, tons of determination, perseverance in getting through challenges and taking risks. It can also take tears, struggling, and fear- along with laughs, and excitement, and joy!

AND guess what? This is the ONLY LIFE you are going to get, doll!

You’ve got to be willing to change–

to get what you want, or be who you want.

Here’s just a few examples of I’m talking about:

Do you want to lose weight but aren’t even exercising and still eating fast food?
Are you wanting to get out of debt but you’re still buying daily $5 coffees and/or going out to lunch regularly?
Do you want to make more money, but are doing nothing to change that?
Do you hate your job but you’re still just working 9-5 everyday?

If any of these things sounds familiar– this blog is for you! Because if you’re not working toward your goals daily, you’re really just getting further away from accomplishing them.

Right? Are you ready? Let’s go!! What goals do you have for your life that you are not yet working toward every day? What are you doing to make changes now?

If you’re ready to start, I’d like to invite you to stick around! Join my newsletter or sign up to be notified whenever there’s a new post. I’m going to offer tons of suggestions, help, coaching and eventually some training courses.

Take Action!

The title of this blog, Later Means Never, is meant to evoke a sense of urgency in you. To remind you to start working toward improvement sooner than later. To work on some aspect of your goals today, and every day.

Because life is precious and short- so make each day count!

Are you someone who is tired of your day job? Wish you had more time at home with your family? In other words, someone who is finally ready to make some changes in your life?

Taking action is the foundation of the process to change.

I hope so- because even though I don’t know you yet, I know that you have talents. I know that you have amazing life experiences that no one else has. And your unique background and knowledge are some of the key tools you’ll use to get on the path to your change and improvement.

Why Do I Want to Help You?

You might wonder why I want to help you? What do I get out of it? What is it with me and “change”? “Come on now”, I’m sure you’re thinking!

Well first, I’m naturally a “fixer” at heart. (My family and friends will tell you so!) I absolutely love helping people learn how to help themselves change for the better. It totally inspires me to keep working on my own goals, and it truly brings me joy.

I feel like so many people are “blocked” or “stuck” because they won’t face their problems or may be too scared to deal with the “hard truths” of their situation. Or they might even be embarrassed to admit that they are not where they want to be in life. (BELIEVE ME- I’ve been there!)

But to create true internal happiness, we all have to honestly face our hard truths, and either change them for the better, or just keep going on as we are. Which is fine, if that’s what you want!

BUT I also want to help you see that where you are right now is OKAY! Making a change has to start somewhere, right?! And that doesn’t mean that you’re “a failure” or anything like that. It just means that you’ve gotten off track from your true life’s goals, or that you might not have realized them yet- and again, that’s okay!!
