Living a Creative Life for Your Mental Self-Care
April 15, 2024 06:00 - 15 minutes - 10.5 MBDo you despise how self-care is always presented? I do. What if there was a better way to do it? You can embrace your creative life to improve your mental self-care. So I’m not a fan of the self-care mantra. At least how it is presented on Instagram. But I do understand the need for moms to unplug and take the mental load off. That is where the creative life comes in, and you don’t need to be creative to do it.

What If Creating The Life You Love Doesn't Pay The Bills
March 25, 2024 06:00 - 17 minutes - 12.2 MBI read a business book a few years ago. It ended up in the "this is ok" pile, but I wasn't amazed by it. The subtitle of the book always stuck with me though. It went something like this: a guide for women to make money doing what they love. The theme throughout the book was creating the life you love by making money doing what you love. What a promise. I don't think there is anyone who wants to work in a dead-end job the rest of their lives doing something they hate. This does not end up in...
