About Me

Welcome to my site!

As I’m sure you’ve figured out by now, I am Miranda.

And I apologize for my last name. I did have a choice, but I really liked my husband so I had to marry him. It’s pronounced o-HUSK-ee. It’s Polish.

I am a third-generation South Dakotan. I love living here. People are nice, crime is low, items are less expensive, and life is slower. I live in the largest city in the state, and it takes me no more than 30 minutes to get from one end of town to the other. I get annoyed when there is traffic for more than 5 minutes.

My husband Jordan is the luckiest man in the world. We’ve been married since 2010 and somehow he still thinks I’m funny. We’re blessed with two boys who keep us active and on the go.

I attended the University of South Dakota for both my undergraduate and graduate studies. I have a Bachelor in Business Finance degree with a minor in Communication Studies and a Master in Business Administration degree. I wasn’t a big fan of finance. I love communication and marketing.

I launched my business, Beyond Social, in November 2013. I went full-time in May 2014, and have been incredibly happy being my own boss. Most of my work revolves around helping small businesses with marketing and business development. I am also a coach and consultant in these areas.

I have always been passionate about writing. In 5th grade, I won a “Young Authors” contest at my school. It was a pretty big deal.

I am a public speaker. I was the person in Speech 101 in college who loved giving speeches – especially impromptu ones. These days, I enjoy talking about marketing and business challenges.

I enjoy laughter and having fun.

I am a fan of books and movies, especially nerdy ones, including Star Wars, Harry Potter, Hunger Games, and The Hobbit/Lord of the Rings. Audiobooks are my jam because I can listen wherever, especially at the gym and to/from school dropoff! I love cooking and baking.

I’m working on becoming the best version of myself. Most of my healthier living activity is posted on my wellness-focused Instagram account – @latestmir.

I found a health and wellness company I love and that has given me so much freedom in my health! If you’d like a free guide on Gut Health, you can check that out here. If you want to learn more about my Plexus supplements, email me!

This is what I am living on today – Proverbs 3:5-6: Trust in the LORD with all your heart and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight.

Mainly, I’m a work in progress.
