hustle without direction will have you chasing waterfalls. in my latest substack article, I unpack the reality of balancing expectations, and flowing with your creative rhythm.

share with an artist you love who might need some motivation to keep going 💜

so i'm in the space of defining my own family traditions, alongside events that are a big deal in society but of zero significance to me. i didn't grow up celebrating Halloween, but my Nana did. and the only way i'd get a costume or go trick or treating is if i was at Nana's house. that was something my mom chose to be lenient about because she trusted my Nana would keep us safe.

that being said, my child will not participate at all, with anyone, ever. i haven't that amount of trust in a single soul.

as a mom, i believe in providing unbiased information about holidays to my offspring.. she's still young, and i'm very comfortable discussing the origins of rituals and symbols. so when i'm asked "why don't you celebrate XYZ holiday" my answer is simple. "that's not what we do."

PS. this farm experience left a lot to be desired. i checked before i pulled up, the reviews were great!! but i'm not people. 🙃

we always speak affirmations along our journey. most times they're rooted in building her confidence, creativity, and self awareness.

but this morning i needed her to know mommy is happy x healthy... bc motherhood is the trenches and i don't keep that a secret 🤣

but im motivated to keep up these moments because i often catch her repeating affirmations aloud during her playtime.
and i love to see it!!! ✨💜

have you incorporated positive self talk into your day?

burnouts favorite lie: create more and you'll feel better. 🥴

you don't feel stuck because you lack ideas it's just that the noise in your head is louder than your vision.

take the necessary time to unpack so you can get to where you want to go ✨💜
