I hope everyone is doing well out there! It’s been a sec — if you tune in all the way to the end, you’ll understand why. In this latest episode, I’ll talk about my experience with content  burnout over the past year and how it’s imperative to unplug in order to regroup.I wasn’t “showing up” as me — posting and engaging started to feel robotic. I know so many of you can relate, especially my artist and business peeps that feel we have to stay in front of our followers for relevance sake. Yes, marketing issa Real thing - but so is our peace of mind. Listen in and pull what you need to give you the inspiration to take a break when necessary.  We’ll be here once you decide to come back!  Be well...
