Ever wonder what your first real vacation feels like when you’re your own boss? In this episode, I’m taking you behind the scenes of a totally unfiltered weekend away, burning rubber at a car event, and trying not to panic about the emails piling up.

This wasn’t just a trip, it was a huge lesson in trust, rest, self-care, and letting go. I talk through the fears I had before taking time off, how I set boundaries with clients, and how the time away gave me a whole new perspective on business, creativity, and what really fuels the work I do.

Oh, and somewhere in between the campfires and port-a-potties, I got the sweetest message from a designer across the country that reminded me why I show up every week, even when I feel awkward or anxious about it all.

If you’re a creative entrepreneur wondering how the heck you’re supposed to take a break without the world falling apart—this one’s for you. 💫
