  • Heading back into business now

    I had a period of very unorganized and uneducated creator work, just because I was inspired by some really good creators and encouraged by a few close friends. It was fun. But as a business it didn’t work at all, and the constant hustle burnt me out hard mentally and physically. And I left what I built behind.

    Listening to this, I think I found the right way and the energy to pick it up again. And the community to do it with, too. I am ready to get back in soon. Thank you!!
