That's where I found myself after losing both of my parents in the same year, recovering from brain surgery, and realizing that being \"extremely online\" wasn't actually serving me or my business. This week I'm continuing my summer series, where I'm reading you essays straight from my Substack while I take a little break before we're back with full-force episodes on September 14th. This one's about the health, digital wellness, and business habits that helped me rebuild after burnout and loss, some I learned the hard way, some I'd skip again, but all of them helped me feel better inside and out. In this episode, you'll hear… Why grief changed what actually felt worth my time and energy, in business and in life The health habits (starting with what I eat first thing in the morning) that have made the biggest difference in how I feel My digital wellness rules, including why I brick my phone every single night The business habits that protect my creative energy and keep me from chasing everyone else's version of success Why I still believe in \"them\" focused content, but why \"you\" content matters too Click here to find the full show notes and transcript for this episode.
