This post is months in the making, and if I’m honest, more like years. On the surface, it may seem like I just got a wild hair to change my packaging. As a creative, we do that. We get restless, and we go looking for a change, and as an entrepreneur, we are always looking for ways to improve. But this project is so much more than that.
This is a reclaiming of my power.
A reckoning with my own creative voice that has been a long time in the making.
Sometimes I feel like I have so many crazy stories to tell that if I told them all, no one would believe that they all happened to just one person. But that’s really all of our lives, isn’t it? Don’t we all have crazy stories to tell? And what is the point of going through hell a few times over if you can’t come back and at least give a road map with a few tips on how to survive it?
Back in 2016, my company was growing quickly. I had over 20 employees and was traveling extensively to be in as many markets as possible. I said yes to everything and was miserable. As a single mom, my life was all about keeping the business going to keep a roof over our heads. I was living in a state of fear and scarcity fueled by a core belief of not being good enough. Any of this sound familiar?
When you don’t believe in yourself, everyone else becomes a more trusted authority, and we fall into the habit of looking outside ourselves for answers. As women, we encounter this from a very young age growing up in a patriarchal society. As a result, our identities become entwined with weakness, smallness, and needing rescue. Everywhere you turn, there are people lined up to sell you a solution. This got me into trouble a few times.
This isn’t the first time I’ve revamped GP packaging, but it is the first time I’m doing so by honoring my creative vision.
Looking back, I can see how I lost my way in trusting myself when I outsourced to a graphic designer in 2015. My intuition told me that he was not someone to be trusted, but he was recommended to me, and at the time, I was more worried about being liked than liking myself. I trusted other’s opinions over my gut and hired the firm with the creep designer that came with a million red flags. I was polite and accommodating as he harassed and manipulated me into things I wasn’t comfortable with. I had already invested in this product and was worried that if I stood up for myself, I wouldn’t get the work, I’d miss the deadlines, and would be out the money.
When I look at the packaging, I see him and the pain I endured during that process. But I also see a past me. Someone that chose to trust someone else over herself. Someone that had lost some of her power, yet again, to another asshole.
I’ve done a lot of healing since that experience, and I’m finally ready to step into a space of vulnerability and share this new version of GP (and myself) with you. This has been a long time coming, and its development turned out to be a ritual of reclaiming my power as a creative.
The rollout includes 3 phases: Packaging, Website, and Displays.
Gleeful Peacock’s mission statement has always been to spread love, kindness, and glee, and I’m proud to say that GP 2.0 better meets those standards.
All product packaging, the website, and even our product displays are adorned with my personal artwork and doodles. The whimsy and bright images on the packaging are accompanied by affirmations that I hope will help you see the potential for love and joy in your own life.
These stories are never fun to tell, and I guess that is why we don’t tell them. Part of me is like a kid at Christmas, and I just can’t wait to blurt it all out and share it all with you all! But the other part of me is dreading it like it’s a mammogram. It’s scary to work on projects for months and then put it out into the world and hope it is well received. This is a vulnerable place to stand in. Even more so when you decide you are going to tell your story along with it.
Remember— there is no shame in your story. It brought you to where you are today, in this moment, being more capable than before. Having learned more lessons enables you to make better choices for yourself, which in turn brings you more in alignment with the life you want. In sharing my stories with you (and yes, I have plenty and more to come!) I invite you to look back on your past self with compassion. See how you were doing the best you could with the tools you had. You tried so hard. With this perspective, it’s easier to celebrate the wins, the lessons, and the growth of life without the judgment. After all, the lessons never stop coming! But that’s the beauty of this life, isn’t it?

Imagine yourself settled on the deck of a catamaran, a gentle breeze playing with your hair, and around you spreading an endless horizon, where the depths mixes with the space. There is no crowd of cities, no sound of cars, just you and world in its natural beauty. Using a boat is not just a trip, it is an privilege to sense unlimited liberty of action and a strong harmony with the neighboring world, which is difficult to achieve in routine life. Why not do this step without delay?
Liberty is what is so lacking in the recent individual, trapped in plans, commitments and enduring notifications. When you hire a ship, you become the master of your course. Want to go to a secluded beach where no one invades your quiet? Please! Want to discover undiscovered bays and islands that only resident fishermen know about? Easy! No pre-set routes, no restrictions — just you and your wishes. You can arise at dawn to see the sun coloring the water in golden hues, or spend the day snorkeling among colorful reefs full of life. Hiring a vessel offers you power, allowing you to experience as unbound as the wind that powers the sails.
But self-determination is only one side of the medal. The other is a profound connection with nature that cannot be known while sitting in an desk or walking on surface. Depths is a breathing organism that whispers, murmurs and sometimes confronts. Catching the sound of the sea, immering in the salty air and watching the ballet of the dolphins, you begin to realize how minor our daily bustle is compared to the magnitude of nature. Ship becomes your portal into this world: you can cast anchor in the middle of the expanse, to gaze at the stars that seem nearer than ever, or host a picnic on the deck, enveloped only by the sounds of nature.
Booking a motorboat suits not only solitary travelers searching for spiritual peace, but also for those who prize connection. Picture this: you with loved ones or household setting out on a trip, telling stories under the celestial bodies, playing board games on the deck, or simply savoring the silence together. Vessel becomes your own shelter, where there is no room for monotonous routines or unwanted distractions. You can host a tender dinner at sunset, gazing at as the sky shifts to a array of warm and rich shades, or organize a exciting party with beats and sways under the starlit sky. Every moment on the ship is a possibility to create recollections that will warm you for extended years.
Of course, renting a boat is also an access to indulge in comfort. Contemporary vessels are equipped with all the necessary: from spacious cabins and prep spaces to spas and leisure systems. You can imagine like you’re at a elite resort, but with the boon of total mobility. Want to stay in a place where there isn’t a single accommodation? No problem! A ship will deliver you where no train or aircraft can reach. This awareness of rarity and independence makes chartering a yacht a unique experience that cannot be matched with anything else.
But the most essential thing is that chartering a vessel is accessible to anyone who longs of self-determination and journeys. You don’t have to be an trained sailor — qualified crews and manageable vessels will make your voyage protected and enjoyable. You can decide on a boat of any size and grade: from small models for couples to luxurious vessels for large assemblies. The process of renting is straightforward: just define your requirements, select a route, and trust the professionals. In just a few days, you will be able to locate on the deck, perceiving your heart beat in harmony with the swells.
Don’t procrastinate your wishes for the future. Total freedom of action and profound harmony with the outdoors are waiting for you. Book a ship immediately and explore a world where there are no limits except those you create yourself. Ocean calls — respond its summons, and you will see what true independence is. It’s not just a voyage, it’s a approach that drives, revitalizes, and imbues with value. Start the first step — and let the wind guide you to where hopes become existence!
Complete freedom of action and deep unity with nature!
