In this episode of Dear Creator, I chat with brand and web designer Lorin Husa about the messy middle of entrepreneurship, the pressure to constantly show up online, and the unexpected ways part-time work can actually breathe new life into your business.

Together, we also chat about:

• How to pivot without burning your business to the ground
• The difference (and overlap) between service providers and creators
• Why working part-time or outside your business can spark creativity, stability, and confidence
• Navigating content creation pressure, showing personality online, and embracing authenticity
• Mental health when it comes to building a business and being online
• Living creatively versus just “being creative” and why structure often fuels inspiration

If you’ve ever felt stuck on the hamster wheel of entrepreneurship, struggled with balancing business and life, or questioned whether you’re a “real” creator, this conversation will remind you that pivoting is part of the journey, not a sign of failure.
