and I needed a space that was non-Bettie.

Is that bad?

I mean, I don’t think it’s bad, but these are the kinds of thoughts that keep my anxiety employed full-time.

How will others react? What does it say about me to even want a space that is mine without the brand that has defined my identity throughout EVERY SINGLE year of my 30’s.

The truth is, I don’t put any new idea, thought, or personal belief out into the world without running it by A LOT of people first. To consider EVERY possible perspective. My typical creative process involves asking anyone and everyone I meet, whenever it pops up in relevance, as many times as possible until I’m absolutely confident it’s not bad, or the wrong thing to say.

I’ll slide that new thought nugget into a coffee convo smoother than the satin sheets you’ve probably been naked on a time or two. 😈
