What's your literary toxic trait? 📚💙

The line that got away—that one sentence you loved, that's never been placed into a story or poem that it could call home.

My toxic trait is thinking I’d thrive in a Brontë book. 📚💙

your website should be your hardest-working team member, but if it’s just sitting there looking pretty (and not much else), it’s time for a strategy shift.

Your sweet little reminder not to let overthinking drive the narrative on your page. ❤️

Most of us are just here for the glorious mess known as the “vomit draft.”

Don’t hit pause. Write now, polish later. 💙📚

Happy National #Shakespeare Day!

Today, give your words a little Bard energy. Toss “eth” on your verbs (“I leaveth for coffee”) and swap “it” for “’t” just because.

Drop a dramatic line or two below—maybe call your least favorite chore a “pit of despair.”

This new article explores how slowing down, setting boundaries, and making space to reflect can create a more sustainable way to work, lead, and live.

It’s a perspective anyone can apply—especially if you’re tired of the nonstop hustle.
