More people need to see this video. I'm glad you are taking time off for yourself. Too many of us get caught up in romanticizing the idea of con life and being a small business owner that we sacrifice so much to make it work without realizing. This is a great lesson more artists should be talking about. Thank you for sharing!

Absolutely! I wanted to be very honest and transparent in this video because I sometimes feel like my own content contributes to that romanticization at times. And those little sacrifices you make in order to succeed, or even just to stay afloat, add up over time. You don't really realize how much this lifestyle can consume you until you've taken a step back!

Totally cool to take a break every so often. A lot of us appreciate the insight and advice you have to share. Excited to see what you work on next! I took an almost 7 year break when I had kids! 😅

Thank you!! I hope I can continue helping other artists/creatives with my transparency. (And I would probably also take a 7 year break if I had kids! That's another full-time job!)

I was just thinking about your videos the other day! I'm glad you're doing okay and have been taking care of yourself :) Connecting back with what art you personally want to make separately from selling or monetizing your work is so important and something I've had to do recently as well. It's so mentally rewarding to figure out and discover. but overall - welcome back! excited to see what you put out next! :D
