And now you’re so far out, you’re not sure how to come back.But hey — you’re still here. That’s the first spark.WHAT'S REALLY GOING ON:You’ve hit creative low power mode.

  YOU'RE PUSHING THROUGH...BUT IT'S COSTING YOUEvery day is Groundhog Day, but with more emails.

  YOU'VE DONE EVERYTHING RIGHT. SO WHY DOES IT FEEL SO WRONG?You’ve followed the rules, nailed the deliverables, hit the milestones. On paper? You’re thriving. Internally?

Like, for real.)What did you love before being good was the goal? Before resumes, mortgages, and endless Zoom meetings?Then — do one small thing that channels that energy. Even if it’s messy.

  You're THE TORNADO:

  YOU'RE DOING EVERYTHING—AND NONE OF IT IS THE THING. You’ve got 43 tabs open (in your brain), 6 half-finished side projects, 17 podcast episodes queued, and a strong suspicion you left the stove on. You ping between ideas like a squirrel on espresso, and your to-do list just says “???” You’re not lazy — you’re just stuck in chaotic overfunctioning. You’ve mistaken motion for momentum. You’re trying to do your way out of the discomfort. And babe… you’re tired. WHAT'S REALLY GOING ON: This is what happens when your creative brain tries to protect you from feeling stuck — by giving you a million shiny distractions. You’ve been spinning so hard trying to find the thing that you can’t hear yourself think. It’s not a lack of ideas. It’s a lack of quiet. Clarity doesn’t show up with a megaphone. It whispers. TRY THIS TODAY: Pick one thing — and let it be enough. Doesn’t have to be brilliant. Just complete something silly and simple: a doodle, a text to a friend, a collage of images that make you laugh. Close all but one tab. This is your reminder that done is a whole miracle, and multitasking is just a trauma response in a cute outfit. NEXT STEP: You don’t have to live in spin cycle. I help creatively overloaded humans calm the chaos, find their throughline, and actually enjoy making things again — without losing your edge (or your mind).
