This episode is a good one. I get into what’s been going on the last two months (in the studio and in life) and how the solutions & takeaways I found can translate into getting YOU out of your own slump. Let’s call it the weather, let’s call it S.A.D. but whatever it is, we don’t have time for it -- bigger and better things lie ahead. I also get into how I reinfused my practice with the nostalgic practices that made me so happy in 2018 & 2019, reconnecting with the daily habits that help hold me together and there’s even a few subpar jokes sprinkled in. You're welcome. Remember to rate & review the show if you loved this episode!

In today's episode I get you caught up on what my last few months of working for two shows (opening on the same day!) have been. Through this retelling, I offer up gallery insight, gauging your capacity to work and working smart during this busy season, cuting back on drinking and really taking this sh!t seriously! I also give you tips for journaling for future you – let’s set you up for success, mentally and hey… maybe even physically.

Hi fam! I wanted to create this episode before we get too far into the holiday season as a little insurance for your headspace.
