Mentorship for Solopreneurs

WHO WANT MORE THAN BUSINESS AS USUAL

YOU’RE NOT HERE TO PLAY THE ALGORITHM.

WHO THIS IS FOR:

You're here to offer something real. Something rooted. Something that matters.

But let's be honest: navigating visibility, refinement, and marketing can feel overwhelming — especially when you're committed to doing business differently.

The urgency, the perfectionism, the pressure to package your brilliance into a sales funnel? It's exhausting. And really, it's not working.

THIS MIGHT BE FOR YOU IF YOU:

are moving through a shift or evolution in your work

want more clarity about what you’re offering (and how to describe it)

are seeking ways to share your work that don’t feel extractive or overwhelming

want feedback or co-creation around content, offerings, or strategy

are craving support that honors your pace, values, and capacity

WHAT WE CAN WORK ON:

This is not a cookie-cutter strategy session.

This is space for reflection, alignment, and experimentation.

DEPENDING ON WHAT'S EMERGING FOR YOU, WE MIGHT:


Rework the shape or structure of your offerings


Refine your messaging so it reflects your voice


Map out a strategic visibility and growth plan


Brainstorm or develop content together


Find language to capture the depth of your work


Navigate visibility with nervous system awareness


WHY WORK WITH ME

I've presented and facilitated for programs with organizations such as Stanford University, HubSpot, and the Iyengar Yoga National Association of the U.S..

The authors, educators, and change-makers I work with do work featured in NPR, The New York Times, and beyond.

I CAME TO MARKETING SIDEWAYS:

+ a background in journalism

+ two decades of business management and marketing

+ an MA in Human Rights and Latin American Studies

+ decades of yoga study and practice

+ plus ongoing studies in racial equity, emergent facilitation, restorative justice and transformative justice, disability justice, and more

The work we do together draws on all of it—clear language, real strategy, an honest analysis of power and access, and a pace your nervous system can actually sustain.

My own marketing works the same way I'll teach you to work: no funnels, no countdown timers, no manufactured urgency.

My first book, We Are the Message, arrives from North Atlantic Books in March 2027, and the frameworks in it are the ones we'll use together.

There are truly not enough words to describe how much working with Tristan has changed the way I approach being a business person.

I’m so grateful for what they do, and for who they are in the world.

MENTORSHIP FOR SOLOPRENEURS

WHO WANT MORE THAN BUSINESS AS USUAL

offers you can name, price, and describe clearly and with accuracy

messaging that sounds like you and reaches the people you want to serve

a visibility rhythm your capacity can actually sustain

recordings and workbooks from every season, yours to keep

This is about finding feels real, sustainable, and truenot what’s trendy or performative.

WHAT YOU’LL LEAVE WITH:

TWO PATHWAYS

My standard rate for mentorship is $325 per session. Both pathways are built from this rate—no hidden math.

Two ways in, depending on how much momentum you want up front.


ON CAPACITY: I take a small number of clients at a time. If the spots are full, we can talk about timing.

ON MONEY: Payment plans are always available and never require an explanation. I hold a limited number of sliding scale and scholarship spots. If cost is the thing preventing you from this work, say so. I’ll do my best to figure it out with you.

Working with Tristan was the best investment I could have made to bring my work into the world.

I came in feeling stuck and overwhelmed—unsure how to share what I do in a way that felt true to my values. Tristan helped me reconnect to the heart of why my work is needed right now and guided me in creating offerings that speak to this moment we are living through.
