🦋 💜 🌿 Hi! How is your week going? ​ Just a quick note to start — it’s the official last week to reserve a writing coaching or editing spot with me before I go on maternity leave. ​ If you’ve been meaning to reach out but life’s been life-ing (I get it!), now’s the time. ​ You can hit reply and we’ll chat about what you’re working on writing for your book, business or life, what kind of support you need, and whether I’m the right fit to help. ​ I'm due in December, just had my 30 week ultrasound appointment today! After this week, I'll just be focusing on serving my final clients, finishing my other work and doing everything I need to do to get ready to be a mom. ​ ... ​ Lately, with so much on my own plate to handle, I’ve been thinking about how creativity isn’t something that drains us—it’s what refills us. ​ When I am tired or drained, sometimes writing or doing something creative can feel like one more thing I just don't have time for. ​ But I have learned that it's usually the opposite: the thing that can give me MORE time and energy is listening to my desires and being more creative and free. ​ There’s a core belief that guides everything I do in my work: ​ ​ Creativity doesn’t have to drain you. When you give yourself space to follow your creative drive, it opens up new possibilities and new energy. ​ ​ —are not just additional tasks on your to-do list. They can also be ways to refill your own tank and reconnect you with what makes you feel alive. ​ That’s what I love helping my clients remember through writing coaching and editing. ​ Writing for a book or business is productive and the way I like to encourage people to do it is to embrace the lifestyle of being more creative in general and listening to your creative urges. Everything is easier. ​ Not only is it more effortlessly productive but it also can go soul deep and transform your life. ​
You may have heard that you need to show up and write for your book or business to be of service to other people, and that is true, but not enough is said about how the journey can heal and enrich your own life, as well! ​ I used to focus exclusively on the idea of changing the world with my writing, but I started to feel more peace when I realized it's also okay to write and do things that will support me as an individual first, because that is in itself world changing (I am a part of the world, am I not?). ​ In a strange way, focusing on myself first over the last few years and filling my tank has actually lead me to do much deeper work and better writing. ​ Better than when I was desperate to serve others and cutting corners on what I really wanted, overlooking my own needs and creative desires. ​ That's the beauty of an inside-out approach. Fill your tank first and see what happens. Your mindset and thinking will be on a whole new level and lead you to unexpected places. ​ Listen to your creative desires: sometimes even when they don't seem productive in a logical sense, they still lead you where you want to go or somewhere better. It's good to pull the thread and see what happens next. ​ Remember, I have just a couple of open spots left before I pause for maternity leave. ​ If you’ve been feeling the nudge to bring more creative energy into your life—or to finally get your writing project moving for your book or business marketing—now’s the moment to reach out. ​ Hit reply, and we’ll talk about what kind of support would help you move forward. ​ With warmth, P.S. Another thing I believe in my core? That you kindling your creative spark isn’t just about advancing your professional work —it’s what keeps you feeling most alive. And that's what life is really all about. Let’s protect and nurture that flame together. ​ Whether or not we work together this fall, I hope you keep making space for what makes you feel alive. 💜 ​ ​

🦋 💜 🌿 How is your week going? I have a new video to share with you today, but first a little life update: I really needed this week to recover after the past few weeks of fundraising for charity. Can you believe we raised almost $1000 to keep 2 young women in Sierra Leone from dropping out of college? I was all over the internet spreading the word about our fundraiser. It's still going on (read more below or click here for details) but for the most part, right now I'm taking a much-needed...
🦋 💜 🌿 How is your week going? We had an incredible show of support for my fundraiser last week and we reached the $800 goal needed to send a young woman named Ismatu to college next year! We are even making progress on funding college for a second, and final student Aminata (details are here if you want to see). I just want to thank everyone again: whether you sent positive vibes of support, shared it with others, or contributed financially, I so appreciate you Reader! Thank you thank you...
