Meet unique businesses in our community, learn about community events, enter to win a FREE DiamondGlow Facial, and more!
She's the founder of Impactful Mama, and Moon Valley resident who truly understands the juggling act of building a business while raising a family.
From preschool drop-offs to late-night work sessions at her kitchen table, Sarah lives and words right here in Moon Valley, bringing her passion for supporting other entrepreneurial moms directly to our community.
Impactful Mama specializes in helping service-based business owners—think coaches, therapists, wellness practitioners, realtors, designers, and more—bring their next big idea to life through strategic brand storytelling, website design, and marketing that actually drives results. Sarah's ideal clients are purpose-driven professionals who know they have something special to offer but struggle to translate that brilliance into clear, compelling messaging.
"It's hard to read the label from inside the jar"—a philosophy that drives her mission to help women see themselves clearly and articulate their magic in ways that attract the right clients.
Getting started with Sarah is straightforward: simply visit Impactful Mama's Website to fill out an inquiry form, schedule a free discovery call to discuss your vision, and receive a custom quote tailored to your needs. Beyond her client work, Sarah also runs the free Impactful Mamas Community, offering resources and support for moms building meaningful businesses without burnout.
Connect with Sarah by email to see how she can help your business reflect the brilliance you bring to your work every day. Check out two websites Sarah created here and here. Check out her website and follow her on Instagram!

Game Chasers is dedicated to crafting extraordinary experiences and events for sports fans, bachelor/bachelorette parties, corporate events, client development initiatives, group gatherings, birthdays, and dates. They develop a customized itinerary just for you and your vibe.
Testimonial:
"It’s not often I have time to catch a game but when I do I like to go VIP style. Knowing I still have to operate within a budget, Game Chasers was able to do that for me. They provided me with parking passes, tickets to the game with a great view, comfortable cushioned seats, buffet, all we could drink bottled water, soda, beer, and wine . This was hands down the best experience I’ve ever had at a NBA game. I will hire Game Chasers to use for all sporting events I plan on attending from this day forward. Thank you again and I will highly recommend this company to my family and friends."

Meet Jonie and Jonie's Jams
What started as Christmas gifts for real estate clients in the 1970s has blossomed into a thriving jam business. After decades of making homemade preserves for family and friends, a customer's invitation to sell at a 2019 pop-up market sparked a new passion for Jonie Alden.
Now offering 13 flavors—with the signature Holiday blend (strawberry, cranberry, and warm spices) being perfect for charcuterie boards—each batch is still made with love in a home kitchen using the same simple process: fresh fruit, pectin, sugar, and care.
Available at local events, Pinetop markets, or by direct order for pickup and delivery. Jonie is freshly retired and ready to grow this labor of love!
Contact Jonie by email to order today!
