As we dig into the frenzy of Black Friday and the holiday season, it's the perfect time to reflect on the tension between consuming and creating. In this episode, we explore how the pressure of constant consumption—whether it's shopping, traveling, or social media FOMO—can pull us away from our true creative potential. We discuss personal stories, like my own experience of navigating the holidays as a college student away from family, and the deeper emotional learning that comes with balancing our desire to consume with our need to create.

I also share some exciting updates, including a rebrand of Coffee & Crystals, where I reflect on community feedback, top episodes of the year, and the steps behind designing a new brand look (Pinterest boards, fonts, colors, and even merch!). Plus, we chat about new moon energy and how it’s the perfect time to reset and take bold action towards new ideas.

In the spirit of self-care and leveling up, we discuss how to approach this winter season—embracing the slow pace of fall, reflecting on the year, and nourishing our bodies with warmth, comfort, and intention. It’s a time to trust the process, reconnect with your north star, and take the necessary steps to evolve spiritually and creatively.

Whether you're looking to reset, set new goals, or simply reflect on the year that was, this episode is your reminder to focus on creating instead of simply consuming.

Tune in for inspiration, tips, and encouragement to stay grounded during the hustle and find clarity in this quieter season.
