Focusing on client work day in and day out means my own personal projects get pushed...sometimes for years 😅 In 2021, I made it a goal to redesign my website. Now, as we near 2025, I'm proud to say it's FINALLY done.

july 28, monday...

For an article: Do I know anyone who works in franchise marketing? Ideally you work in a senior marketing role within a company that franchises! DMs are open

I have some free time in between clients this month so you know what that means!! Time to create a second @beehiiv newsletter 🤝

I’m not meant to work a 9-5. I’m meant to work in weird sporadic spurts throughout the day and late into the night

Intrigued by this phenomenon of constantly renaming things (and thinking they’re inventing something new)

What if it does work out? What if people love it? What if you’re just getting started? 👀

Trying to decide which escapism hobby I want to pursue while our world is crumbling…baking pretty cakes or making floral arrangements?

I’ve been saying this too, and I fully believe (and hope lol) that this is where the creative industry is heading

Putting this out there: I'd love to write more case studies/customer stories! I have a journalism background and want to tap into my storytelling + interview skills. Sharing this in case anyone is looking for an editorial-style writer to write human-centered case studies ✨

i get so embarrassed for no reason after posting on social media, like why am i showing my life

there’s a palpable urgency in the air that if you’re ever going to chase your life’s work the time to do it is now because five years from now the way the world works may look nothing like today

The perfect storm of AI, misinformation, and disconnection is going to lead to one thing. A human renaissance. We crave connection. We need the real.

@rochi_zalani Right? Such a great reminder

@Sam_Lauron what a quote🫶

Stumbled upon this unexpected life inspo while watching YT videos in preparation for our Japan trip later this year ✨

Convincing myself that pressing the “not interested in this ad” option on weird ads actually does anything (it clearly doesn’t)

And somehow I’m still always looking for more books to add to my tbr 😅

@bradleebartlett Exactly! That’s always how it goes 🥲

@Sam_Lauron Yes! I feel like I keep asking myself if I should get rid of Canva…. And then something pops up that I’m like “Well, glad I still have that!”

How much does it actually cost to run a freelance business? 👀 I broke down all of my expenses/tools in this week's issue of Rough Draft (my newsletter about building a freelance career from scratch).

@joecopywriter That’s much more thrilling for sure!

@Sam_Lauron or you could take up kickboxing like I did. Then life gets a little more exciting.

Not even exaggerating when I say that this is how I keep my day interesting as a freelancer who works from home
