I’ve been putting off retwisting my hair, but I I’ve been putting off retwisting my hair, but I finally got to it. it took 4 hours one day, 6 hours the next. 
i had intentions to capture my whole process on camera and get some good content. 

but see, ol girl consistently kept bringing me pretend tea and running in and out for for potty time—which always entails a hand washing song… every.single.time. 

so my content vision went out the window, and this is what I got instead 😵‍💫😂 angles ain’t but so bad but it’s certainly not what i had in mind.

the old me would’ve scrapped ALL OF IT and waited for the “right” content moment: a perfect setup with uninterrupted time, and a semi-organized space.
but this past year taught me that this creative motherhood journey is not about waiting for perfect conditions. 
it’s all about building IN the chaos, not seeing what you can come up with after the smoke clears.
so y’all, I’m posting what I have instead of not posting at all… 

now if you’re a creative mom waiting for the “right time” to start - let this be your sign. 

the interrupted process IS the content.
done is better than perfect!!!
& sometimes, done means perfect. i’m oddly enjoying this unconventional spin on things, 🥴 
now let’s see where it takes us LOL

I can’t be the only one who is building something in the tiny margins between pretend tea parties and having real deadlines!

HOW TO APPLY : hydrate. get your rest. don't lie HOW TO APPLY :

hydrate. get your rest. don't lie to yourself. 
prioritize your mental well-being. 
show up for those who show up for you. 
wash. rinse. repeat.
as a creative who wears all the hats, you have to as a creative who wears all the hats, you have to take actionable steps to embrace your duality. it doesn’t start/stop at the declaration “I’m embracing the process”… you’ve got to put forth the effort. 
send to a homie who needs to hear this! 💜🙌🏾

hustle without direction will have you chasing wat 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.
