Advocating for your needs isn’t selfish—it’s sustainable and SO important.

What season do you feel like you’re in right now?

But growth doesn’t happen on command. It happens on time. And sometimes, the most powerful thing we can do is trust our own pacing—not force a new season before it’s ready.

For so long, I thought if I just did more—pushed harder, launched faster, showed up constantly—I could force my next chapter to arrive.

Can you think of a time when slowing down actually HELPED your creativity and helped you bring your project to life? I’d love to hear about it.

Anything that feels uncertain or that you’re not sure what to expect—surrender the vision to your future self and show up for the process. Then you’ll have a built in opportunity to reflect at the end of the cycle!

In my Substack this week I offer a preview on the upcoming Mercury retrograde and suggest to write to yourself at the end of this retrograde cycle (April 7) with any advice, encouragement, or insights you want to hold onto.

Ironically, when we prioritize creative play over productivity, we often find ourselves more inspired and productive as a result. 🌱✨

When we approach creativity as pure play, without the pressure of productivity, it becomes a form of self-care. By allowing ourselves to create freely and joyfully, we refill our creative wells.
