  • 33. I Burned Out. Here's What I Learned.
    Apr 27 2026

    I'm back

    After 14 months away - and zero apologies for it - here is the episode I had to live through before I could record it.

    This isn't your standard "how to avoid burnout" checklist. We goes deeper, calling this particular cycle something closer to a creative identity crisis: a period of losing clarity, coming face-to-face with the question of who she is without music, and having to choose - intentionally - who she wants to be on the other side of it.

    In this episode, we walks through five practices that actually moved the needle:

    • Learning how to rest: not distract, not pivot, but actually stop and restore
    • Marrying myself - a formal, private commitment to our own sovereignty and self-worth
    • Detoxing from music - three weeks of intentional silence t
    • Letting the pivot happen - leaving the "cave" and discovering a world beyond the music industry bubble
    • Training like an artist-athlete - building the mental and physical foundation a long creative career actually requires


    This is a field report, not a formula. And it's one of the most honest episodes I've ever recorded.

    Love y'all
