I started a new job a few weeks ago and spent time with my new coworker- again. My beautiful and amazing sorority sister, Callie. She gave me all types of VCU swag.

It was my second year volunteering at the Richmond International Film Festival. I helped run the opening night box office and house along with other shifts throughout the week. Something that brought me back to being house or box office mgr most of college. I pulled from all of my jobs and the training I received- hospitality, operations, acting, and production. I helped others learn what to do at my venue and just pitched in wherever I was needed. I even emceed an intro for one of the showings. 😳

I got to be in row 4 to see one of the screenings- a double feature by a first-time director, Ant Roberson, with “At What Cost” and an established one, Ed Burns with “Beneath the Blue Suburban Skies”. Congratulations to both films for winning awards at the festival. They were both great films and well-deserved accolades. After the Q&A, I waited to speak to Ed. I was a total fangirl. I gushed about the Brothers McMullen and She’s the One on repeat in my house constantly. Didn’t say that exactly but, it’s true.

I told him I appreciated the way he used silence and quiet throughout this film. So many films are focused on the action and lots of noise. He said, “Thank you for saying that.” I was so proud of myself for getting that out.
I asked for a photo. He said, “Of course.” Then he asked, “So what do you do, Wynter?”
“I’m an actor.”
“Do you do that locally?”
Then I had my Jennifer Grey “I carried a watermelon” moment.
“Yeah, I do murder mysteries.”
Like, what?! 🤦🏾‍♀️😳

What I’m realizing is that I miss the production aspect. I love acting but I seriously don’t mind being behind the scenes helping run things. I know that’s what my business is but I mean in my personal life too. They are intertwined. I don’t know what the future holds but I really want to continue doing these things not just as a volunteer. I really want to do this as long as I can. Using all of my skills. Events and production are calling my name. What to offer? How to say it?

I saw SIX this weekend with B and I am still thinking about it. Hamilton energy. Spice Girls energy. Every performance was phenomenal.

What got me is that each wife is modeled after a mashup of pop stars. I didn’t know that going in. My best friend mentioned it after and I named every inspiration immediately.

There’s something full circle about seeing it at Alamo Drafthouse too. I used to work for the company at a different location. I already appreciated the experience — but going back as a guest hits different.

That’s what good storytelling does, it embeds itself without announcing it. That’s the kind of work I strive to do. 🎭💜

Do you ever have one of those days? I feel like I’ve been having them for weeks, even months. I’ve been leaning on my communities hard lately. They keep me grounded.

I just wanted to say real quick that I see you and you’re not alone. I also feel your pain.

Enjoy your day! Whatever that means for you. No judgment!😎☺️

I’ve been building this quietly for a while.

It’s not quiet anymore.

Thank you to the ohmyhi team for getting it — and for telling my story better than I could have. 🤍

WynterStar Studio is open. ✨

Can I be honest with you for a second?

I was treating my website like an old Match.com subscription. Just keeping it. Looking at it occasionally. Telling myself I’d deal with it later.

And I had a site before this one that people genuinely loved. But that was corporate Wynter. Polished, stoic, obedient. Not the one I actually am.

So yeah, I took my time. More time than I planned. Because I wasn’t just building a website — I was finally letting the goofy, playful, sarcastic, empathetic me have a home on the internet. And that’s not something you rush.

When brought it to life, I wasn’t expecting to feel what I felt. They didn’t start over. They took everything I had already built and just made it feel like. . .me. Not just the look. The whole thing. I didn’t realize how heavy of a burden it was until it was gone.

And the photos? That’s the magic of Kellyn Wilson | Branding Photographer and Natalie Barnett | Hypnotherapy for Business. They captured me — not corporate Wynter. Me.

WynterStar Studio is live. The house is open.

Something is coming and I’m not ready to share all of it yet — but I wanted to celebrate a few wins while I wait. 🎭

In the meantime, I did what any theater-loving ops person would do when inspired by Kristin Lawton🥂Brand Mixologist for Biz Owners — I built a whole drink menu for WynterStar Studio!

These two are my signatures.

🎭 **The Stage Manager** — lavender gin, St-Germain, lemon, sparkling water. Elegant. Quietly doing everything. Never the loudest in the room, but nothing runs without it. Sound familiar? That’s exactly the energy I bring to creative entrepreneurs backstage in their business.

🌿 **Calm Behind the Curtain** — lavender lemonade, cucumber water, fresh mint, honey. My tagline in a glass. Because that’s what good operations feel like — your webinar ready to go live, slides handled, comment section covered. Not chaotic, not loud. Just calm, clear, and working.

One with gin, one without. Both completely me.

Which one are you reaching for? 🍹🥤

Nobody wants to pay for the queen.

Everyone wants a worker bee who is busy, executing, and checking boxes. The work gets done but the work getting done and the work moving you forward are two very different things.

Without the queen, the one who sees the whole hive, knows which direction to move in, and understands why any of it matters — all that busyness is just keeping you stuck.

You don’t have a capacity problem. You have a clarity problem. And that’s a different hire entirely.

Different rooms. Same need. I belong to communities for my business, my creativity, my body, my soul. They don’t all overlap — and that’s okay.

But every single one of them holds me.

Through grief, wins, fear, growth. Someone always showed up.

That’s all I ever wanted. To be held. To belong. To walk into a room and know someone is glad I’m there.
If you have that — protect it.

Elevate and Inspire did not disappoint.

Amazing speakers, real conversations, and a room full of people who mean business — in the best way. I reconnected with people who have been in my corner through a genuinely heavy year and met some incredible new ones. Doc Williams, Darrell Vesterfeld, and Alisa Kay — already grateful for those conversations and excited to see where they go. I loved the addition of nightlife this year for that extra connection time.

Came home with two books I can’t wait to dig into — Mundane Magic by Molly Donlan and Sponsor Magnet by Justin Moore. And more ideas than I know what to do with right now, which is honestly a great problem to have.

This weekend reminded me why I keep saying yes to the room. There’s something that happens when you’re surrounded by people who are genuinely building something and rooting for each other to succeed. You leave different than you arrived.

Thank you, .henson .and.v and the rest of the team! It was amazing!

I still can’t believe this happened! 😳Just in case you can’t tell by the reaction. 🤯 Thank you so much .hi. Truly grateful! I can’t wait to get started.
