Let's talk about the elephant in the room—I've been quiet.
And there's a reason.
This episode is personal. I'm pulling back the curtain and sharing where I've been, why I hit pause, and what's shifting as I step back into my company with more clarity than ever. Because the truth is, building a brand doesn't always look like forward momentum—and sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is slow down.
If you've ever felt like you're building something that no longer feels aligned… or if you've felt the pressure to keep showing up even when it's not working for you anymore, this one's for you.
We're talking about burnout, boundaries and getting honest with yourself when something's gotta give.
What You'll Learn:
-
Why I chose to take a break from content and visibility
-
The warning signs I couldn't ignore (and neither should you)
-
What I realized about my audience, my business model, and my capacity
-
Why clarity isn't always found in the grind
-
How I'm rebuilding the brand with more intention and less noise
