*On creativity, connection, and sharing your work as you grow*
I think that I'm staying creative from a different, so we're all driven, right? Or we find a way to cultivate a drive within us.
And I think that I'm becoming very self-aware that what used to drive me to create is transforming or I'm in a place of maybe trying to transform that as well.
What I mean by that is not to keep up bringing up that I'm a mom now, but I think that that's probably obviously related to it.
Um, but also I just think, you know, like, I don't know, I'm like 35, almost 36 years old.
You have these questions that are very philosophical and I'm like, how do I keep it to business, right? And it's like everything's all like melted into one and I'm intentionally trying to melt those lives together.
Well, so what I will say is that I think that I'm trying to be more aware and more conscious and precious with my time in general and understanding my own tendencies and kind of working up against stream.
Probably something that's like very common with everyone where it's like, you know, you get sort of this like big check from a client or, you're, you know, like you have a huge profit margin off a last project and you're like, I can finally rest.

You know what I mean? So I think it's like, I'm starting to realize that I don't want the speed to stop i just keep going
i feel the same way where i'm like coming into this month i've been feeling a bit like burnt out i had kind of a lot going on in the last couple months but then i just landed a new client i'm like oh yeah i'm ready to work this is great you know that's awesome i've got all the energy back so it's like this weird ebb and flow of like i don't want to take on too much work but at the same time like it becomes a motivator it gives you that energy so yeah like the the idea of finding your rhythm i think is a big balancing act a big you know ever-present pursuit
Do you want to talk about like or what can you talk about in terms of are you I didn't realize you were taking on clients, right? I know you're always probably taking a little bit of clients on in the background because I know you've got kind of a full time thing right now.
And I like them to be big enough that they can, you know, like last the whole year rather than doing like little three grand stints here, little five grand stints there.
And it's a new client that was referred to me from my work with the Smithsonian, which are just really awesome people.
