Have you ever felt burnt out, uninspired, or like your creativity is running on empty? In this episode of Rescued & Upcycled, I’m sharing how my time at the 127 Sale became more than just days of junkin’—it was my version of self-care.

Sometimes, taking care of yourself doesn’t look like a spa day or bubble bath. For me, it looked like backroad treasure hunts, belly laughs with creative friends, and the joy of doing something purely for myself. That time away wasn’t just fun—it was refueling.

We’ll talk about why creatives need to protect their energy, how stepping out of your normal routine can reignite inspiration, and practical ways you can create your own version of soul-filling self-care. If you’ve ever needed permission to pause, play, and pour back into yourself, this episode is it.

Tune in, get inspired, and let’s refill our creative wells together.

Join me weekly as I tell my story and start interviewing other creators to hear theirs as well.  I hope to give you a well-rounded space for inspiration, encouragement to create, tips on trying new techniques, give you advice, and overall real talk about owning your own business.  I'll be uploading a new podcast every Thursday so don't forget to hit that subscribe button and turn on your bell notifications, so you don't miss out on an episode!   I hope you've enjoyed Episode 68 of my podcast and see you next week!
