This week we are talking about the bad habits I have that set me up for failure in my daily or weekly life. I also talk about ways that I know I can combat those bad habits to make positive changes. Maybe these are some habits you notice in yourself as well! So sit back, relax, draw, stare off into space, and enjoy this little ep!

 Fiverr sucks, and in today's episode Madi going to tell you why. Artists AND consumers deserve better than this. 

A Note from Madi: 

I apologize for the overall sound quality, my microphone broke, and now you can hear every single breath I take haha. Oh well. See y'all next week!

This episode was not made to make people who use Fiverr feel bad, but to educate all of the parties involved. 

This week's episode is a quick one, but an important topic nonetheless! Raise your hand if you've ever experienced burnout.... we can't see your hands but we are assuming most of them are raised. Burnout is something that can happen in all lines of work, but especially creatively. So come and take a few minutes to listen to Madi vent about her issues with burnout, and some ways she has fought it off.

This week's episode is all about mental health! Madi talks about her experiences with anxiety, stress, and even a bit of depression. She lists some ways that she is still trying to learn how to combat those nasty things we all have to deal with from time to time. This episode is meant to be a positive way of looking at mental health. We don't have to all feel the way we do sometimes, and we hope that maybe this episode will at least make some of you feel comfort in knowing you're not alone. Be kind to you today!
