The Vignette Effect

Working Within Your Capacity and Other Radical Acts of Sanity

Episode Summary

You’ve got big ideas, but if your calendar’s a chaotic mess and your energy’s on empty, this episode is your reset button. I’m breaking down what it actually means to work within your capacity, not the hustle-harder version, the smart, sustainable, I'd-like-to-still-enjoy-my-life version. We’re talking creative bandwidth, strategic whitespace, B+ work that still books clients, and how to make decisions based on what’s doable right now. If you’ve been running on ambition and adrenaline, this one’s your invitation to slow down, get clear, and work like a human, not a machine.

Episode Notes

Feeling stretched too thin? Like your calendar is packed, your energy is tanking, and your creativity is stuck under a pile of to-dos? You’re not alone, and this episode is for you.

In this solo episode, I’m unpacking what it really means to work within your capacity as a creative entrepreneur. Not just from a self-care lens (though yes, please rest), but from a smart, sustainable, strategic lens. We’ll discuss how to assess your true energy bandwidth, the power of B+ work, how to prioritize based on what’s sustainable, and why whitespace in your week isn’t indulgent - it’s necessary.

I’ll also walk you through concrete actions to protect your creative energy, automate repetitive tasks, and finally start building a business that respects your nervous system and delivers results.
