I am really trying to live the last summer of my 20s but also scale my business again.
So that's been a lot, but I'm really doing it all, and I've really not been crashing and burning.
Like, I've really just been, like, getting on those flights, doing these events, going on podcasts, going on holiday, making sure I'm socializing, and I'm just glad I'm do- I'm just really proud of myself because this, this, the me last year wouldn't be able to deal with half of what I'm trying to do.
So I'm actually just really proud of myself, and I'm just making so many memories.
Like, when I think of, I started Odd Muse when I was 22, and when I think of, I'm now 29.
So when I think of the last seven summers since I started Odd Muse, I have no real memories other than my sister's wedding.
And my sister's wedding was, like, this week where I just really challenged myself to forget about everything for a week.
Um, but then when I think of the summer as a whole, it was, I mean, the summer of '24 was Odd Muse went through something quite terrible.
I'm just feeling, like, free this summer, and I'm taking every single opportunity.
Like, we, I just feel like we put so much pressure on ourselves in our 20s, and when you look back, I promise you, you're gonna remember the holidays and the nights out and all the fun you had with your friends.
So do not forget to summer because, yeah, we just live in a really intense time where a lot of what you kind of force yourself to consume is quite aggressive business content and putting you- a lot of pressure on yourself to achieve all these goals.
But anyway, let's go into a bit of a life update because there has just been so much happening.
