About Us

I built Stillmark Paper Co. after a season that asked me to choose between hustling harder and hearing myself. I chose to listen. For years, achievement felt like my identity. I chased it, graduate school, a decade climbing the corporate ladder in the finance industry, and now entrepreneurship. Eventually, I realized I was running on a hamster wheel of my own design. The more I produced, the more my worth felt tied to output and the more anxious I became. My body kept the score.

As a mom of two toddlers, an ambitious and proudly “hobbied” girlie, and a lover of all things wellness, I needed a planner that held both truths: some days I’m high-performing; some days my cup is empty. I wanted a tool that would meet me where I was, not where perfection said I should be.

Like many of us, I was planning for a 100% version of myself and feeling behind when real life (kids, life admin, caregiving, energy dips, the unexpected) showed up. Traditional planners rewarded crammed lists and perfect streaks. What I needed was a kinder structure: a way to size the day to my real capacity and still move the right things forward.

Stillmark is my antidote to all-or-nothing planning. It’s planning that honors your whole self and helps you make a gentler mark.
