I’m sharing what it actually feels like to be in a creative season where nothing feels linear, my nervous system is sensitive, and I keep bumping up against the part of me that wants to throw in the towel.

If you’re someone who’s also sensitive, quietly rebellious, allergic to rigid structure, or just plain tired of pretending the creative process is clean, consistent, and “high vibe” all the time, then this one's a love letter for you.

I talk about:

• Coming out of a burnout wave and rebuilding trust with my own rhythm
• The energy rollercoaster of the past month and what’s helped regulate me
• The magic of co-regulating with people I trust and how momentum can be contagious
• Navigating rejection sensitivity and the fear that I’m “too much” or “too inconsistent” to be understood
• Why the mess almost always comes before the clarity
• My creative process as a neurodivergent mama who craves structure but also resists it deeply
• Letting ideas crumble and reconfigure, like building block towers with my toddler
• Learning not to run someone else’s race, and instead trusting my pace, even when it’s slow or weird or different
• Why I believe missed shots in business don’t mean anything about ME

If you’re in a tender season, stuck in the swirl of too many ideas, grieving a past offer that didn’t land, or questioning your pace, I hope this episode feels like a soft exhale.

You’re not behind. You’re just building something honest that probably looks more like web, instead of a ladder!
