Just a gentle weekend reminder:
You don’t have to earn your rest.
You’re allowed to just be.
Breathe. Stretch. Sip something warm. Let your ideas nap too—they’ll wake up stronger.

In this #TinyThrivers episode, Wavy spirals, until Starry reminds them: Doubt doesn’t mean stop. It means pause, then start again.
Try these when doubt shows up:
• Breathe. Doubt ≠ fact
• Look at past wins
• Call a creative friend
• Reframe: What if this does work?
• Take a break, not a bow out

Rest isn’t quitting—it’s creative fuel. It’s how we keep going, not what stops us.
Here are some burnout traps:
↳ Ignoring the early signs
↳ Equating exhaustion with success
↳ Believing rest is a luxury
We create our best work when we feel human, not when we’re depleted.

#TBT What started as an idea became something real here on this stage.

In a world where it’s easy to “fake it till you make it,” this moment made it real.

Today we're thrilled to introduce Tiny Thrivers, a webcomic series.
In this first episode, Wavy is caught in a familiar loop: "Just one more thing." Enter Chill, a soft and steady reminder that burnout isn't weakness—it's your brain asking for care.
