Every journey is filled with failure, let's share the lessons learned from them.

This week is a heavier topic, happiness.  Are you happy is a loaded question with lots of tiny facets.  I'm breaking it all down this week and what happened once I realized that I wasn't happy trying to monetize my new skills.  I thought I had to reinvent myself to become a successful creator but what I really need to do was lean further into what I am naturally good at.

When I'm in a transition I often feel like I am not where I am supposed to be.  I've been going through a very long transition over the last 7 weeks and I feel more behind than ever.  The fact is, I'm right on track, I just can't see the end yet.  We're all on our own journey figuring it out as we go along.
