This is accurate. I understand why people with a lower budget feel more anxiety about spending their money, but that's not something I'm willing to deal with at this point in my career. I love my high ticket clients who give me space to work my magic.

Making decisions for your business doesn’t have to be excruciating. But if you don’t have a crystal clear idea of where you’re going and the path you need to take to get there, even simple choices become roadblocks. 1/4

It's okay to be in it for the money.

One of the reasons I'm making changes to my business model. BIPOC and women creatives can do well financially, but dealing with the constant pushback on pricing and processes is so tiring. Anyway, I've got a plan in place so I can move forward in peace, and I'm excited.

Feeling a lot of gratitude for all my biz besties who root for me when I'm too overwhelmed to root for myself. It's so important to have a solid circle of support when you're trying to do big things.

People often ask how I manage to work from home with small children in homeschool. I'm currently covered in colored pencil shavings, so that's a bit of insight for you.

Octavia Butler was right about the place. She was right about the year. She even predicted the type of climate catastrophe that would hit LA.

Many of you must be wondering, who is Octavia Butler? how did she know? “Born in Pasadena, California, in 1947, Butler was raised by her widowed mother. She was extremely shy as a child, but Butler found an outlet at the library reading fantasy, and in writing.”/W
