    Press Pause

    Do you know you have more than 30 minutes ???? Slow down. Be where your feet are. Make logical decisions that feel good with your intuition.  In this season of life, I’m learning the beauty of the ✨slow burn✨ I remember listening to a podcast a couple of months ago that emphasized the power of quick movements. It shouldn’t take you a whole day to reply to someone’s text or email- efficient people move with tact. I think I took that a little too seriously and started moving at lighting speed with EVERYTHING. That’s when you start f*cking up 😭 In this episode, I chat about the importance of slow movements, recourse, and pressing pause as a career creative. We want longevity, not fleeting moments. Jump into the drama: 2:58 4 Affirmations for Patience 3:53 Resetting and Not Doing Too Much + Finishing My Degree (I know a lot of yall didn’t realize this but I haven’t finished school yet, LOL) 17:01 I Know A Girl Who Lost It All And Got It Right Back 📖 A Lesson In Pivots, Patience, and Pausing 24:55 Being Perceived As A Career Creative 27:13 Living In Your Truth 32:43 To Everyone In Hermit Mode Right Now 41:21 A Word For The Road Wanna Ask Me Questions?

    Doing All The Things

    Usually, when the going gets tough..I get going. Year 1 down of living in another state and God snatched me up by my shirt and said not this time boo kitty. In this season of life I’m being SO intentional: I’m facing my shadows, committing to my decisions, executing my goals, and loving the process. There will be no running!  To my surprise, I’ve matured and that 23 year old frontal lobe is really kicking in. All of a sudden I have deductive reasoning and my logic emotion is clocked in for work every. single. day. It didn’t used to be like this 😭  My focus in this next year: doing the really really really hard things that I tried to skip over.  Jump into the drama: 2:42 4 Affirmations for Discipline 3:26 Back In Houston, Feeling Extra Nostalgic, Getting My House In Order 18:52 August Love Letter 💌 1 Highlight I Experienced In August 31:31 1 Challenge I Overcame In August 36:14 1 Lesson I Learned In August 42:32 1 Thing I’m Looking Forward To In September 44:21 1 Habit I’m Committing To In September Wanna Ask Me Questions?

    #CloseFriends

    🫂 unpopular opinion: you need different friends for different things. I’m not calling my club friend for business advice! the most important thing? they should all work together to serve the different parts of yourself. affirmation to self: i pour into my people just as they pour into me (1:26) just a little chit chat about my first couple weeks settling in to New York (1:58). I’m getting the same question over and over again. “Why did you move here?” and I’m here to say: stop asking me that sh*t! its making me nervous 👁️ making adult friendships is hard. industry friends? even harder (13:18). with social media, I know so much about my peers (sometimes more than I would like), and I think it’s blurred the lines between friend and associate. or casual friend and intimate friend. club friend vs cry on my shoulder friend. it all makes me very uneasy, and in this episode I share with everyone my philosophical thoughts on initiating, maintaining, and delegating friendship roles.  the main question? how do we create genuine, deep rooted relationships in a world where things can stay pretty surface level and materially motivated?

    #UrCrazy

    🤨why would you be listening to anybody who hasn’t done what you’re trying to do? This week is all about the struggles of being a multi-hyphenated creative. Affirmation to self: i might be crazy, but im fkn real! (1:13) to get us rolling this episode (1:52), I’m catching y’all up on my life, my permanent move to New York, and the shadow work i did while I was on hiatus. being a multi hyphenated creative is hard. And a lot of you don’t even know you are one (21:20). the majority of our society is used to conforming to what they don’t want to be or do so they can maintain security or comfort. those same people will be the ones you tell your plans, desires, goals and if they don’t have the same #vision as you their responses won’t be assuring. that’s why I think it’s so important to act more than you think. the more you think and overthink about things you know you’re sure about deep in you heart, the further you get away from the passion that will sustain your efforts.  whatever it is, make the decision today to be #intentional on doing what YOU want to do. not what Sally and Susie said will work.  This episodes playlist New Pack In will be linked here by the end of the night more on the biggest podcast for this generation’s upcoming creators @theblo.up ☁️ #UrCrazy keep up w/ me 3 my personal Insta: imcourttoo podcast Insta: https://www.instagram.com/theblo.up/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@theblouppodcast?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc
