Hi Reader,
It’s been a hot minute since I’ve checked in, and I won’t lie — hitting pause has been good. Necessary, even!
Everywhere I look, people are juggling a lot right now — clients, students, life, family, the whole mix. And if you’ve felt like your brain’s running twelve tabs at once? Same.
Lately, I’ve been sitting with the tension between “doing enough” and “being enough.” My to-do list keeps growing, but my energy doesn’t always keep up — and instead of muscling through it (like I used to), I’ve been learning to slow down, pay attention, and choose what actually matters to me & lately that's been rest.
That part’s been harder than I expected. 😅
Our capacity isn’t static — it shifts with the season we're in. A few years ago, I could do more, faster. Now, I’m more aware of the trade-offs: a 'yes' to X is often a 'no' to Y. My bandwidth is different, and that’s okay!
Rest doesn’t always mean stopping though — sometimes it just means recalibrating. Listening. Choosing to make something work more sustainably instead of just 'survivable', and that means revamping some of my backend processes a bit and ⏯️ relying on my software to help support my workload in this season.
And while I still LOVE my work and my business, I’ve been trying to work toward giving myself some grace as I fumble a bit in this busy season — remembering that building a business is a marathon, not a sprint. (Even if my brain sometimes forgets that part. 🫠)
Anyway, here’s a teensy-tiny peek at what’s been happening behind the scenes while I’ve been recalibrating, revamping, reworking, responding, re-recording, etc...
