Hey Creator,

What if the next big transformation in your creative life didn’t come from a massive overhaul… but from something small?

In this week’s episode of Creators That Crush, I’m sharing the 5 surprisingly simple habits that helped me shift from burnout to momentum.

I used to wake up already stressed. My mind was stuck in loops like “I hate my job,” and I rushed into every day without a plan or purpose.

That kind of start made it really hard to show up for my creative projects. My health suffered. My output suffered. My confidence wobbled.

Today, I have a calm, consistent routine. I move my body, focus my mind, and build real influence—without burning out.

In this episode, I share the exact habits that helped me get here, including:

The one-sentence journaling trick that shifted everything
How “slow mornings” became my best productivity hack
Why the smallest possible action matters more than big goals

When obligation crushes your art, try this

Hey Creator, You didn’t become a creator just to check boxes and keep up with obligations. But over time, that’s exactly what starts to happen. You start out fired up by creative ideas… and end up stuck fulfilling content calendars, client demands, and self-imposed routines. You know the spark is still in there, but it feels buried under the weight of everything you “have” to do. That’s the ten...

I'm A Terrible Content Creator

Hey Creator, I don't know what I'm doing most of the time in this business. I am a coach first.
