Ep 87: I spent 8 weeks resting
I'm back after 8 weeks away! I've been on an entire content creation break. No podcasts, no newsletter, less social media and a lot of time to rest, think, cry and reassess. The clarity that has come from resting is pretty astounding. I break it all down in this week's episode.
Let me know your thoughts on twitter, Have you ever taken a break and done nothing?

Ep 85: I miss the ease of corporate
Let's face it, having a traditional job is easier. You just need to show up, do your job and go home. I miss that feeling. I've been feeling like I can't keep my head above water for the last few months drowning under the weight of having to do it all. When I was asked last week about whether or not I miss corporate, naturally my honest answer is at least once a week.
Do you miss the ease of not having to do it all? Share your thoughts on the Twitter thread

Ep 83: Let's chat about toxic generosity
Giving too much can be a bad thing. Just like we can't be happy go lucky all the time, you can't just give away all your time. I've fallen into a rut where I use generosity as a procrastination technique to avoid going all in on myself and my goals. This week I'm sharing the one and only thing I am doing to break this habit.

Not having a plan has lead me to a lot of failure over the last 15 months. I don't want to plan everything, nor can I, but I do need structure and a roadmap to get me to my end goal.

Ep 47: Scheduling rest is essential
This week I am focusing on how to rest. Getting rest is essential. We have to celebrate rest. Rest is just as important as working hard, if not more. Rest allows us to create great work without destroying ourselves in the process. I've had a lot of problems with getting rest in my past. I used to stay up and work late into the night so much that I was actually hurting my ability to do good work. How do you prioritize rest?
