Tell me your favorites
And make me part of your weekly routine
Woweee, holiday lights are going up and with them an undeniable shift in seasons.
Personally, I’m also about to fly back to Miami after spending a lot of time in my hometown of Charlotte, NC.
Helping the family has been fun, but what I’ve come to realize is that everyone’s got their own stuff going on, and I’m excited to prioritize and refocus on what gets my creativity flowing.
I’ve found my optimal creative output is a mix of nesting time to execute, combined with travel and changing up my environment to facilitate discovery and inspiration.

Now’s also a good time to take stock of what you, my reading audience, wants to see more of, as I consider a rebrand or renaming, or even a shift to a different platform to facilitate my growth objectives.
So first, I’d like to thank you for being here and reading every week! 🫶
With a 49.53% newsletter open rate that pretty much kicks ass (industry standard is 17% to 28%) I’m happy that you’re hopefully finding value in what I’m writing weekly.
I appreciate your readership and thank you for being a part of my life.
After working tirelessly for 7 years on my content agency and being utterly exhausted at the end of 2022, since March of this year I decided to get back on the horse.
I made a concerted effort to do what I believe I do best: writing and helping others with tips and advice so you can live, work, travel, and generally do things better and more easily–packaged in weekly newsletters on topics of lifestyle, business, work, travel, and rituals that keep me productive, efficient, happy, and healthy.
It’s been particularly rewarding because I haven't had to be on as much as I was this time last year–honestly one of the most stressful and worst periods of my life.
Today, a weekly cadence helps and challenges me to refocus, show up, and commit to an output.
That’s where you come in: I’d really love to make this newsletter part of your Friday afternoon or weekend or weekly reading routine.
To earn your time, I’d be grateful if you told me what you want to see and provide feedback? Takes 10 seconds:
