Take Roots Consulting

11 years ago today, I made it official.

I incorporated Take Roots with a simple belief that good work, done with intention, can help people and organizations grow.

Before Take Roots, there were people who took a chance on me. People who taught me, challenged me, trusted me. Every role, every project, every lesson built the foundation for what this would become.

And since then, it’s been shaped by the clients I’ve had the privilege to serve. The ones who invited me into their work, their ideas, their ambitions. The ones who trusted me with the messy middle, not just the polished outcome.

Those relationships didn’t just build Take Roots, they expanded what I thought was possible.

They’re also what led me to the work I do today at Edmonton Unlimited.

The same drive that pushed me to start Take Roots—the desire to build, support, and grow something meaningful now shows up in a different way. And while Take Roots may not be growing at the same pace it once was (because, well, there are only so many hours in a day), its impact is still very much alive.

In fact, the opportunity I have now wouldn’t exist without it.

So today is about more than a milestone. It’s about recognizing how it all connects. The people. The trust. The work. The evolution.

To everyone who’s been part of the journey, before and after incorporation, thank you.

This has never been a solo act.

If you run a service-based business and your content isn’t turning into inquiries…
It’s probably not your service.
It’s your messaging.

Try this.
Use this simple 3-part caption formula:
1️⃣Hook: Call out a real moment your client is in
2️⃣Shift: Reframe what’s actually going on
3️⃣Next Step: Tell them what to do next

Here’s what it could look like in real life:

For a coach / mentor:
Not sure what a business coach would actually do for you? It’s not just ‘advice’—it’s having someone help you see what’s not working and give you a clear path forward. Book a 30-minute session and come with one challenge—you’ll leave with your next 3 steps.

For a hair stylist:
Feel like your hair never looks the same after you leave the salon? It’s not your hair—it’s that no one showed you how to style it at home. Next time you’re in my chair, ask me for a 2-minute walkthrough so you can recreate the look.

That’s it.
One clear message NOT 10 vague posts.

Drop your business in the comments and I’ll give you a caption you can use.

Smiles and lattes,
Stephanie ☕️

Easter at this age looks less like a hunt and more like a self-challenge:

You hide the eggs.
You think you know exactly where they are.
45 minutes later… you’re hunting for your own eggs.

Who else has turned “egg hiding” into a solo adventure? Drop a 🙃 if that’s you!
