*tired but here*
WHAT I'M DOING IN BIZ EVEN THOUGH I'M EXHAUSTED AF RN.
That's it. That's the headline today.
(Exhaustion is real. Take care creative one)
Today I didnāt wanna send not-a-one newsletter. And itās not because I donāt care. Iām exhausted, my eye disease is starting to act up, thereās too many pressures in my personal lifeā¦ look, I have good reason. But do I?
Iām not a believer in hustling anyway. Like at all. But I have this dream, see. This dream where Iām helping people usher their creative visions into reality without sacrificing themselves. Abandoning themselves. Ignoring themselves.
And Iām trying to make that dream come true without doing those things to myself either.
Iāve rebuild everything Soft Sundae to make sure I have the proper foundation to do that and I still have several more months of building to do. But Iām tired.
My vision is clear. My actions are aligned with my vision. Iām spending quality time with my kids. My boundaries are on point. But Iām tired.
Thereās just lilā old me. 46. Entering into perimenopause. Living in a foreign land without much support. Taking care of kids under 10. ADHD undiagnosed (had to prioritize diagnosis and care for my oldest). Iām tired. Okay, and maybe feeling a lilā sorry for myself atm.
But I have this dream. And Iāve chased this dream in various forms over the last almost 10 years and right now it deeply feels like Iām finally doing it right and sustainably.
So even though Iām tired. Even though Iām not getting as many replies or sales as Iād like. Iām staying and Iām writing. Iām standing here for your creative vision and for my own and Iām not letting go.
Old me wouldāve let go by now.
And to make sure to be able to sustain this work, Iām gonna take a fucking nap after I send this out.
You might have seen my S.U.N.D.A.E. Lifeā¢ framework for creatives. Those 6 elements arenāt just for you. I experimented with them first and foremost on myself as I was going through a difficult time 6 years ago and still wanting to show up for my creative vision. And it works.
Right now, in sending this newsletter to you, Iām practicing the A (aligned action-taking). And after that, when I take a nap in legs-up-the-wall, Iām practicing the N (nurture). And doing both of these is honoring both my S (self awareness/ clarity) and my E (energetic capacity).
But thereās one thing I want you to take a look at today if you can, and thatās my upcoming live workshop, Good Girl Glitch. Yeah, Iām realizing the name might not resonate with you (so thatāll change next time around) but the content. The content will have you in a chokehold.
If youāre not asking for help or if youāre having difficulty expressing your needs, GGG is actually gonna drop gems.
If youāre still replaying that conversation from last Tuesday, GGG is gonna provide tangible help for that.
If youāre losing creative energy, GGG is gonna help you plug the leaks you didnāt even know were there.
So if the title is bothering you, maybe send a quick reply so I can know for sure (cos Iām guessing over here!)...
Look. Iām a solo entrepreneur here. Iām not a marketing genius but I AM very good at what I do. And Iām not going anywhere. Soft Sundae is popping off and Iām just beginning. Iām actually in Phase 3 of my 4-phase rebuild.
Because creative dreams donāt just die. They get ghosted.
Ask me how I know.
Iām here to keep your creative vision from becoming another abandoned project.
Cos you can't make a living from work you keep leaving behind.
And though I might not be saying it in a way that resonates, GGG is an important piece to that puzzle.
