Clocked Out, Corked Up

It’s Friday. The audit is behind me. The meetings are done. And tonight? We uncorked.

In this episode, I take you through the final stretch of a long work week — the kind that tested my patience, my inbox, and my caffeine tolerance. From mid-morning Teams calls to figuring out what to wear for dinner, this Daily Crescendo follows the shift from work mode to wind-down.

The highlight? Wine tasting with the girls. We finally made it to Cooper’s Hawk after months of “we should go” texts — and it was worth the wait. Between the pours and the laughter, it reminded me how essential it is to have friends who create safe spaces — the kind where you don’t have to explain your silence or shrink your joy.

So yeah, we clocked out. But we didn’t just head home. We celebrated — slowly, intentionally, with full glasses and even fuller conversations.

This episode is a blend of both: the reality of navigating work, responsibilities, and burnout … and the joy of choosing connection anyway. It’s for anyone who’s ever left a long week behind, changed into something cute, and showed up — tired, but still down for the vibes.

You’ll hear some of the lead-up, a little bit of the come-down, and everything in between. Because that’s what Soft Crescendo is — part pod, part vlog, all real life.

So pour a glass, kick off your shoes, and come along.
