What I'm Doing Now

This is a 'Now' page. I love the idea of nownownow.com and so here it is!

Last update: September 20th, 2025

💛 My personal focus atm

Prepare for my trip to Asia in October-November, including a Grief Trip in Australia 💛
Start using the tracks Piero recorded of our cover songs and adding some piano. I can't even expess how much I miss our gigs now that I'm in Belgium.
Help Chispa adjust to Belgium. She's been having a rough time 😪

Create a new ClickUp system for an accountant and her team: Isn't it interesting how I suddenly got a new Belgian client one month after arriving in Belgium? Pretty symbolic! Most of my clients are US-based. Also, I usually work with solopreneurs, so creating a system for 4 people is a new and exciting challenge.
Make my business Digital Nomad Life-Proof: I'll be switching time zones more than ever, and my business needs to evolve with my new lifestyle, especially when it comes to client meetings. Having different rates for sync/async work, opening up some evening meeting spots when I'm in Europe, focusing more on voice messages vs. meetings, and giving myself the space to adjust to new places while carving out time blocks for work.
Have fun with my newest endeavor: becoming a dog behavior therapist! People have always called me a 'dog whisperer', but I never thought of doing something professionally along these lines. I love the idea of combining my online work with something more physical where I can visit people's homes and improve their connection with their dogs.

Record episodes for my NEW podcast: 'Shapeless Love' 🎙️ I'm going vulnerable and raw on this one! Sharing my life in Peru, my grief journey, and much more in my new podcast. Listen on Spotify or Apple Podcasts. (Honestly, I felt so stuck and disoriented while Chispa and I have been transitioning that I haven't felt the motivation to record anything. Aren't those moments of stuckness the best ones to share your raw story, though? Do we always have to share 'success stories' AFTER getting our 💩 figured out?)

'Finding Meaning' by David Kessler: A fantastic book about grief and one of its side effects that makes me go like: "What's the point??" Now that my grief brain is getting better, I feel I can open up more and look at life from a bigger perspective. (This has been a slow read. Whenever I need a little push on my grief journey, I read a chapter in this book or in the book 'When Things Fall Apart')
