52: What's Happening Is Too Big to Ignore: Speaking Out & Still Launching Amid a Crisis

Sometimes the hardest thing is to keep showing up when the world feels like it's falling apart. In this unedited (literally) episode of The Creative Bodega, I'm processing in real time what it means to stay visible in your business when everything outside your door feels completely wrong. I'm talking about the Minneapolis ICE raids, the fear people are experiencing, and why I'm moving forward with the launch of The Visual Edit even though it feels weird and uncomfortable. If you've ever struggled with whether to speak up, stay silent, or keep working when the world is heavy—this one's for you.

Things I cover inside this episode:

• Why I've historically stayed silent on social media and how being an Enneagram 9 has shaped my need to avoid conflict
• The moment I decided I couldn't stay quiet anymore—even knowing I'd lose followers and face criticism
• How to hold space for heartbreak AND still show up for your business when you're the main provider
• What it means to find your people by saying the hard stuff, even when your voice shakes
