💪 The personal habits I'm focusing on

Clean up my new client's finances: You might not know this about me, but I'm a finance & spreadsheet nerd. I studied accounting in High School and I can't help it: QuickBooks just makes me happy 🤓
Expand my network in Belgium: Believe it or not, I only have one Belgian client. My other clients are either in the US or the UK. I just came back from a 4-month stay in Belgium, and it's making me want to expand my professional network so I can support more creative entrepreneurs from my home country 🇧🇪

Recording podcasts 🎙️ I'm not feeling the recording vibes lately, as this year has been covered in grief, and that is A-okay. I accept that I need more downtime to flow with my emotions.

Play the piano while singing: Slowly but surely, I'm adding in some simple melodies on the piano during my gigs. Putting things into practice, and especially in front of a live audience, gives me the drive to keep growing, even though I feel like a total beginner still.

When Things Fall Apart by Pema Chodron: The first book I read when my dad passed away, was 'It's OK That You're Not OK' by Megan Devine. It helped me accept that losing a parent is just crap. There are no 5 phases to go through, no rainbow at the end of the road, no higher meaning. It's learning how to carry what can't be fixed. Now, the book 'When Things Fall Apart' is helping me find a little island of peace on the most difficult of days.
