Wanna hang? June 2025 Newsletter

I spent much of March and April feeling something I couldn’t quite name.

I’d open my laptop and just…stare. Sitting down to film felt like pulling teeth. 

At first, I told myself I was just tired. Burned out, maybe. But the truth was simpler.

I was bored. 

Not “nothing to do” bored. More like, “everything feels flat” bored. I had tasks. I had goals. But I didn’t feel curious. I wasn’t energized. And as I’ve learned after 9 years in business, that kind of boredom isn’t random.

It’s a signal. A flashing neon sign telling me: something needs to shift.

For me, that sign shows up as boredom. For you it might be restlessness. Overwhelm.  Indifference.

Except the what and how of change aren’t always obvious. That’s where having a toolkit helps.

Here are three things I do when I need to reignite my spark. 

1. Learn something new – I’m an insatiably curious person, and nothing fuels me up faster than feeding my brain with interesting information. If I want to generate creative ideas, my brain needs fascinating morsels to munch on. 

I visited local museums to listen to lectures on topics I knew nothing about. I went to live theater and marveled at the talent of the cast and crew. I amped up my daily walking routine.

2. Change up environment/routine – After years of working from home, I joined a coworking space that conveniently opened right down the street. I have a perfectly good home office, but I knew that a change of scenery can be powerful.

It forced me to be more intentional about how I plan my work and structure my days. I’ve been more focused and productive than I’ve felt in years (watch out, haters!).

3. Choose a challenge – When you’re overwhelmed, adding more might seem like madness. But sometimes, a new challenge gives your curiosity (that you’re hopefully feeding) something real to chew on.

So I decided to double my content schedule. Two YouTube videos a week. All Q2.

It’s been messy, weird, and honestly…kind of awesome. I’ve tested new formats. I’ve been less precious. And I’ve grown in ways I couldn’t have predicted.

Either that, or I’m a glutton for punishment. 

If things have been feeling a little off lately, you’re not alone. I hope this newsletter will help you reignite your momentum, just in time for Prime Day and the wild holiday sprint ahead.
