not every rhythm needs to be found, sometimes it j not every rhythm needs to be found, sometimes it just needs a reset. 😉

for me, that balance looks different every day: one moment i'm in a news studio, the next i'm in content producer & admin mode, then i'm putting in work at my creation station, or cooking with my tiny great one.

💜 this is episode 1 of My Creative Rhythm Reset. it's imperfect, it's refreshing, and always fueling my purpose. it took a while to get here but it feels great!
