Life Update – Summer Class, Weekend Off, and Imposter Syndrome
Hi all! Sorry I’ve been a bit MIA as of late, but I’ve been busy and stressed and sadly, felt like I had a bit of writer’s block. The truth is, I prescheduled all of my July posts in June and I ended up scrapping almost all of them, as I just didn’t love them….
