This one is for you.

We all get overwhelmed, but why is it inevitable to get overwhelmed when you are building a creative empire from ZERO?

It’s simple. If you are starting from ZERO, your purpose and desire outweighs your experience. And why would you have more purpose and desire than experience… because you have something worth …

This is an important one. Figure out that it matters to show up, before you commit to being consistent. Because it does matter.

This week, I’ve been caregiving for me grandma with Alzhemier’s following her hospitalization a few weeks back (which was when I had to take a little break).

I am also caring for a loved one who is coming off of a 3 year relapse with alcohol addiction. He is having trouble standing and walking.

I always say: “Putting other peopl…

A short one today, that has such a deep meaning.

The message:

Putting other people’s needs before your wants is selfless. Putting other people’s wants before your needs is self-sabotage.

What does this spark in you?

This week I did about 10-15 admin tasks for my life and business (also for other people), had a full caregiving schedule, launched an app MVP, and made a legacy workshop.

I also donated a pint of whole blood and fought off 4 migraines in the last two week on very little sleep and barely any uninterrupted time.

My ambition was in …

Have you ever pouring yourself into someone only to find that it was never enough? Almost as if their cup had a leak in it and the more you poured the more they needed. That’s the energy of taking.

Taking is different from receiving. When someone receives, they are ready to give back when their cup fills, which it does.

I’m rooting for you.

I was behind this week. I had a migraine for two straight days and still was expected to caregive for my grandma with dementia. One night she woke up for the day before I even went to bed. It’s been a tough week.

But also, I had a great financial week on my Stan Store with my “Buy me a coffee and AMA” for $30. I celebrated by wri…

I am passionate about this one. I don’t agree with the saying it is easier said than done, because saying something and living another is what erodes your creative self-worth, self-trust, and confidence. Procrastination is the ultimate cost when the sacrifice is your relationship with yourself and your impact.

I asked two industry experts about my dreams coming true, building a creative empire that’s multiplatform and across multiple industries. They BOTH gave me the same advice: LEVERAGE.

They said what I wanted to do was hard, some would say impossible, but in order to pull it off, I would need leverage like a loyal audience who will…

I’m doing a series on “falling back in love with my life,” inspired by Sam Eaton’s new book You Can Do This, which is out now!

Here’s your reminder that attention is a currency. Do not undervalue it. And while you’re at it, stop undervaluing you!

Today, I was on a call with my business mindset coach. I spoke for 3-4 minutes about my struggles with identity and nervous system regulations. The first thing she noticed, I didn’t take a breath in that time. Not one.

She said, “just take a breath.”

This world is a better place if you are sharing your message. Don’t give up on yourself or be too afraid to post because you fear being judged or even worse… seen as unoriginal, not creative enough, and uninventive!

This week, someone told me to have back up plan. f-ing ouch! Here’s how I see it. There’s a narrative that betting on yourself and your dreams aren’t realistic plans.

I ask you: do you have any evidence that anyone else’s reality is real? Have you ever lived in someone else’s shoes? Have you ever been in someone else’s body? Did…

Here’s your reminder to prune your inner circle! Don’t let people who don’t believe in you into your inner circle. It’s okay to prune that person out of your inner trust, and to let yourself love that person without trusting them with your future hopes and dreams.

This week, I looked at the gap of what’s missing. I think I do have enough time to build while caregiving for my grandma with Alzheimer’s, but how do I make the most of the time I have?

That was the question.

I’ve been saying for awhile that I want to run my content like a studio. So I asked again, what’s missing? I realized I do…

You are not alone. I hope this message is something you open your heart to.

It’s another week of building. I had to let go of one of my coaches because he didn’t believe in me. I told him I wanted to write a screenplay in three months and he told me I couldn’t write a screenplay in a month. He was dismissive and looked at me like I was crazy when I said the last screenplay I wrote was written in one nig…

You don’t have to wait for the perfect conditions to create or share your art. Art matters most in these imperfect conditions that we face today.

I’m rooting for you.

This week, I focused on energy. I asked myself, “How could I have more energy without burning out?” As I full-time caregive for my grandma with Alzheimer’s.

The answer? Walking outside at least 6k steps because I can connect with nature, get a break from being in the house, and I’ve heard exercise gives you more energy. It’s been…

The one place in this world you will never truly see is the space you exist in. You will never truly see yourself.

That’s why it’s so important to no longer hold yourself back! Create with everything you have in you. It all matters and so do you!
