You deserve to have a space for you – a place in time where you can let your guard down, and you don't have to filter or be concerned about how you'll be perceived in the moment. We all deserve that space, where it's okay to just be in the moment and not be evaluated all the time. But if we start to blend our lines, if we start to feel like everything we do is for public consumption, we can lose ourselves, and we can lose opportunities to enjoy time with friends, families, and loved ones. What can happen is our businesses can consume us.
