🌿 The Green Goddess & The Great Lock-In

Episode 33: Touch (Heart Chakra) 💚

It's the new year, and for many, the time of The Great Lock-In. The conversation around burnout is just as important as the one around purpose.

As we learn to build, create, and lead in more sustainable ways, rest becomes the strategy — not the reward. In this episode of Muses & Bruises, I sit down with @thegreengoddessdiary, founder of A Green Community FL, to explore what it truly means to transform exhaustion into evolution.

💚 Turning burnout into breakthrough

🌱 Relearning the art of soft living while leading

🤝 How touch, community, and compassion can heal creative burnout from the heart outward

Because The Great Lock-In isn’t just a season — it’s a shift.

A collective movement toward balance, focus, and flow.

🪞 Tag a friend who’s learning to work with their heart, not against it.

💚 Choose softness. Create sustainably.

This is for anyone who’s ever struggled, and anyone still holding on.

You are not alone.

Throwback episode from the summer of 2016 when I was recording my creative journey of relaunching my business www.reinexrebelle.com I came to the realization that while I'm here, living this life, I should get to know and love myself. Its been almost 2yrs since the relaunch and I've grown so much, I'm glad that I committed to myself on this day. I needed to reflect on this today, I hope this message nurtures you in any way possible.
