This week’s episode is short, gentle, and really personal.

We’re talking about:

What it actually means to reset instead of rebuild

Why catching the “leaks” in your creative system early can save you energy

A few tiny routines that are helping me keep moving, even when I’m tired

This one is for anyone who's staring down a messy desk, a weird schedule, or a project that just… stalled.

You don’t need to overhaul everything.You just need one thing to feel a little easier.

🔧 Your Reset Can Be Simple:

Clear the surface you create on

Take the cups to the sink (seriously)

Write down one thing you’ll do Monday morning before the weekend starts

Ask yourself: “What do I want to optimize for right now?”

Your reset doesn’t need to be aesthetic. It needs to work—for your life, your brain, your season.Sh
