Medium Lady Talks is heading into its fifth season! Five years ago, I started creating content—on Instagram, on this podcast, and in this incredible community. Over time, I’ve learned so much, not just about content creation, but about self-care, burnout, and the evolving nature of identity as a mom and a creator.
In this episode, I’m sharing five key lessons from five years of content creation—the hard-won truths about sustainability, creativity, and growth that have shaped both my work and my life. Whether you’re a fellow creator, a working mom, or just someone trying to live more intentionally, I think you’ll find something here for you.
In this episode, we’ll talk about:
- Why hustling isn’t the key to success (and what is)
- How self-care is a foundation, not a reward
- The fluid nature of identity—and why that’s a good thing
- Recognizing burnout before it sneaks up on you
- Why community matters more than metrics (and how to nurture it)
