What You Find When You Finally Stop Trying So Hard

In a world that glorifies hustling, I've been wondering if there's a better way, a path to our purpose that feels good. I let go of the dream I had wanted for so long, because in the pursuit of it I was burning myself out. I took sweet space from the constant productivity, and in that space I began to contemplate: What does it truly look like to live a life of fulfillment? And how I can I reach for my dreams without losing my joy?

In this video, after years of being away from YouTube, I'm excited to be sharing that journey with you - the one of crafting a life of our own making, from the inside out. I reflect on cultivating a relationship to creativity, the path to following our purpose + an exciting announcement of what I've been working on this whole time.
