The kids are back to school and a common question at pick up is, “How was your summer?” Hate to say it, but ours was pretty terrible. In June, we came home from vacation to a leak that caused extensive water damage. 77 days and 6 Airbnbs later, we’re back in the house and I’m back on the podcast. We’re talking unexpected mishaps, dropping balls, and letting the absence of bad things be good enough.

As a working mom and business owner who often bites off more than I can chew, there are a few go-to rituals and new habits I'm prioritizing.

I recently discovered an affirmation I don’t remember writing. “The more I cultivate my creativity, the more revenue my business brings.” It sounds good, but what does it mean? How do I get there? And why did I write it? We’re talking creating for the feed vs. personal expression, pursuing hobbies just because, and giving less Fs in the name of having more fun.
