In this episode, I return after a two-month hiatus to share what’s been stirring beneath the surface creatively, emotionally, and spiritually.

I talk about the quiet season I’ve been in, what it’s taken to find my way back to creativity, and how writing my second book has challenged me in ways I didn’t expect. I reflect on how different it feels from writing the first—how there’s more resistance, more complexity, more unknowns, and yet… something still calls me forward.

We explore:

✔ The strange energy of creating after you’ve already made something that mattered

✔ Why the second time can feel harder than the first, and what that teaches you

✔ What re-ignited my creative spark and how inspiration actually returns

✔ Why you don’t need a perfect plan to start making something new

✔ How your creations can lead you somewhere you never expected—if you let them

This episode is for the ones circling the edge of their own next chapter. For the ones who feel called to create, even if they don’t know what it’s for, or where it’s going.

If you’ve ever doubted whether you could begin again, or wondered if you missed your chance, this one’s for you.

Thank you for being here. And thank you for listening. 🕯️
