about the creator

I’m Mimi Layton, a middle-aged woman with a full-time job, aching knees, and a nervous system that’s done with fight-or-flight. I made this deck not for the perfect activist, but for the rest of us.

The tired-but-not-broken.
The deeply hopeful.
The quietly rebellious.
The ones doing their best in big and small ways.
The ones who need a spark, not a sermon.

Why Now?

We are living in an age of exhaustion, urgency, and noise.
Burnout is everywhere.
Activism is demanding.
Empathy is manipulated.
Productivity is glorified while rest is shamed.

Empowered Mischief offers a different way forward. It says:
You don’t have to do everything.
You don’t have to be perfect.
You don’t have to be loud.
You just have to stay honest, awake, and willing.

This deck helps you remember who you are and what matters.

Mischief Wall Of Gratitude

Empowered Mischief  exists because a brave crew of believers said “yes.”

They saw a spark of rebellion, reflection, and creative courage — and fanned it into flame.
Through Kickstarter, these amazing humans funded not just a deck, but a declaration:
that small acts of truth-telling and everyday rebellion can light the way toward something better.

Each name here represents a spark that helped ignite this project. Together, they turned frustration into fuel, chaos into creation, and mischief into meaning.

This wall is for them — and for everyone who believes that change begins with a single, defiant, joyful yes.

With love and gratitude,
Mimi Layton
