I just wanted to hop on here and let you know that I will be taking a break between now and returning September.

I felt like this was important to share because as a creator, I've been very consistent.

I just learned that it was a lot more sustainable for me given I'm working full time, trying to build my side hustle slash my brand, doing my professional coaching training program, all while trying to keep up with this production.

and still be there for the people that I love while taking care of my health so it's a lot of ands as you can hear for me this has always been a long game it isn't one of those things where I wanted to treat it like a sprint because I really enjoy connecting with people learning through them and then having a way to stay accountable to lifelong learning while sharing that with all of you And for those of you who have reached out as well to say, hey, this landed with me and I would actually like to see more of this or that.

Thank you for taking the time to reach out because as you may or may not know, sometimes as creators, there's a lot of pressure and nerves and angst around what is actually landing and what is not.

And speaking of the nerves and angst, taking this break between now and September 15th is quite nerve wracking because I know the algorithm can punish a content creator.

And it can take time for the algorithm to start feeding your content to people again when you do take longer breaks and are not consistent.

And I really want to use this next couple of weeks to be intentional about pausing, recharging, Catching up on things that I've deferred to August and taking a step back to assess how am I tracking against what I hoped to achieve in 2026? How do I want the rest of the year to look like? Especially because I know that starting in September, up until the winter holiday season, it's going to be full speed ahead.

And I still want to be able to prioritize my health and train in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.

And that's why this space is critical for me to be strategic with the rest of the year.

So even though part of me is uncomfortable stepping away from all social media platforms and posting content, for this next couple of weeks, I still believe in giving ourselves permission to pause, check in with ourselves, and make space for what matters most.

And because I believe in that, I need to practice this as consistently as possible.
