In this inspiring spotlight interview, I sit down with the lovely Anthea to talk about creativity, self-compassion, and the importance of giving ourselves space to grow without judgment. We also chat about her vision for Evolve — a future space to help people continue their healing journey beyond therapy, and how she’s learning to be gentle with herself along the way.

It was such a beautiful and grounding conversation, and I’m so grateful to have shared it with you all.

Hey friends — in this first Audio Log, I’m catching you up on all the creative things happening behind the scenes lately — from my Blocktober (31 Days of Block Printing) challenge, to the direction of this podcast, and the early plans for my Medium a Month (Yes MAM) YouTube channel.

It’s a heartfelt reflection on where I’m at creatively — the excitement, the uncertainty, and the joy of figuring things out one step at a time.

If you’ve got any thoughts or suggestions for how I could approach my YouTube videos — whether that’s live streams, faceless videos, or something in between — I’d love to hear them in the comments. Your ideas mean a lot as I shape this next chapter.

Ever have one of those weeks where motivation feels out of reach? In this reflective Blog Dive, I share how a handful of sticky notes became little lifelines — quiet reminders that helped me stay grounded and keep going.

Sometimes, the smallest words can make the biggest difference. ✨
