For my first podcast episode of the year back in January I shared all about planning for 2026 when we don’t know what our capacity will be.

I entered this new year with so much clarity around my creative desires, for the mini book of essays that I want to write and self-publish, for the first draft of my novel that I want to chip away at this year, and the app my husband and I are working on together too.

And I also knew that I would have to be okay with the messy, imperfect, and beautiful road that I walk down as a human who lives in a chronically ill body.

Because the gap between my creative desires and my capacity can feel so huge some days.

In this week’s podcast episode I recorded a catch up from Q1 in my business and creative work; I share how business is feeling really good so far this year and what’s working well and how I’m adjusting my mindset and approach to expanding what my body of work can be this year too as I continue to slowly work on my creative projects.

More than anything, I hope this episode helps you feel less alone if you’re also navigating a gap between your desires and your capacity too and that you know that it’s possible to bridge the gap between where you are now and where you truly wish to be next in your business and creative life without sacrificing your joy, peace, and wellbeing in the process.

Sometimes we just have to be okay going at a slower, gentler, more flexible pace.
