👋 Yo!
Though it may not seem like it, this newsletter issue is a pretty big growth moment for me. With a big two-day workshop coming up this week, typically my pattern is to shove everything else to the side to prepare for it. However, I decided it was time to make a change and practice making space for other things that are important to me even though it's feeling super chaotic.
So, here's to another issue. Cheers! 🍻
