How do you avoid burnout? If Jagger blesses me wi How do you avoid burnout?

If Jagger blesses me with cuddles, I stop everything I’m doing to hang out with him. I put my phone down, my laptop down, I stop working and writing and obsessing over the billion things I’m juggling right now and just PAUSE. PAWS! 🐾

Honestly I would NEVER take a break if it wasn’t for him. There just isn’t time and I would never remember to. 

Another thing I’m grateful for is that my body just doesn’t do all nighters anymore. I get really nauseous if I try to stay up late and I have to lay down or I feel like I’ll get sick. And that’s my body’s weird ass way of saying nice try - it’s your bed time bitch we are NOT on board with this. 

And, of course, the reason I’m teetering on burnout is that I’m a full time English professor BUTTTT my tarot course launches on March 15th with a special presale going live on Monday! 🪄 Which means I am working like crazy to make sure everything goes off without too many hitches (bc we are not about perfectionism anymore)!

How do you avoid burnout? Leave your tips below!
It’s Pisces season! 🐬🐋🧜🏻‍♀️ Lo It’s Pisces season! 🐬🐋🧜🏻‍♀️ Love this @foreverconscious graphic honoring it 💙

Pisces is the last zodiac sign so some people get super emotional around this time of the year as we encounter endings of all kinds, both positive and negative. I always thought it was just me and fellow Pisces feeling the feels about our birthdays - be that excitement, dread, or anything else bdays and aging elicit - but it’s actually a general energy in the air. 💙

This year I am not just feeling existential dread 🙌🏼 which is how I normally feel when my bday rolls around. I’m feeling a wave of positive emotions too (at least for now LMAO): sentimentality, compassion, and openness to connecting with new friends and re-embracing old ones. It’s nice but also kind of intense and distracting! 🦭🌊

How are you feeling???

When you tell your tarot cards you're not actually doing a reading and that you're just using the cards to teach something in a video but they're like "oh we're sorry, we don't do hypotheticals, here's your personalized relationship reading on blast on YouTube for all to see" 🙃⁠

One of my biggest blogger fears came true yesterda One of my biggest blogger fears came true yesterday. 😦

A super religious and judgmental relative came across my blog and tarot course and FLIPPED OUT about how unprofessional and un-Christian and all sorts of other things it is. Yall she didn’t just call me - she even called my mom. 🤪

First, I want to check my privilege for “reading tarot cards” being the thing I am being judged for by the idiots we share this planet with. I want to recognize my privilege even though I have feelings and am hurt. 

If you’re a blogger or creator of any kind you know exactly what I’m talking about. It’s the day the bullies at school find your YouTube channel. It’s the day your nasty co-workers find your fashion blog, your teammates find your headshots in your locker. Whatever your “thing” is. 

When you decide to pursue your path fully - which means going public or possibly making it a business and not just doing it for fun and in private to protect yourself from the judgy people we unfortunately call “friends and family” - talking yourself up and reassuring yourself that your work is fire takes up so much energy. Non-creatives will never understand the mental and spiritual gymnastics some of us need to do to hit publish, to hit share, or to tell the world about our product or service bc we have dared to pursue a passion (or even a whim. Life is short.) Yall say you aren’t judging, and trust me, we want to believe you and also tell ourselves you aren’t, but a few of you most definitely are. 

Well, I’m sad to report that all the affirmations and journaling and hyping yourself up doesn’t make it suck any less when it inevitably happens. But I can say that there is a sense of relief that your fear is now rooted in reality you can deal with and it’s not just a “what if” borne out of fear or insecurity. Who doesn’t like being proven right, after all?

To close, my evil tarot course launches in March! If you have also been dabbling in evil things, join me in shame (and later in hell) and learn to read tarot for real! The link to sign up for the waitlist is in my bio. 🥰
