A collage-style cutout of the hashtag ‘#MeToo’ on a textured gray background, symbolizing the movement against sexual harassment and assault.

A man turned a potential job lead into harassment.
Then strangers blamed me for it.
So I wrote it all down.

This one’s for every woman who’s been told to stay quiet.
I won’t.

Burned out? Stuck? Tired of pretending to care about sh*t that doesn’t light you up?

My chart says: Welcome to your Uranus opposition. Please lose your mind responsibly.

I wrote about it. It’s raw, witchy, and might just hit where it hurts: exhotmess.net?p=256

Two burnt-out matchstick figures sit facing away from each other on a black background, with smoke rising from their heads, symbolizing emotional exhaustion and estrangement.

Two burnt-out matchstick figures sit facing away from each other on a black background, with smoke rising from their heads, symbolizing emotional exhaustion and estrangement.

I’m finally writing about my family’s estrangement.

The gaslighting. The rewriting of history. The silence that hit harder than the yelling ever did.

They called me “crazy” when I stopped performing. I call it waking up. exhotmess.net?p=252

We almost danced to Ed Sheeran.
But then remembered:
We’re the cat-in-the-sawdust type of couple.

Close-up of a person using a smartphone in a dark room, highlighting the anxiety-driven habit of constantly refreshing and scrolling through feeds.

I wrote a new blog post about what happens when the crisis ends, but your nervous system never got the memo.

I keep scrolling, refreshing, trying to “stay ahead”
But it’s not ambition. It’s survival mode.

This is about anxiety after the anxiety: exhotmess.net?p=238

A lot of people talk about playing small.
But not enough people talk about why.

Enmeshed families teach you that your choices don’t belong to you.
That love = control.
That shrinking keeps you safe.

Freelancing from a hospital room.

Smiling through Zoom calls with 37 tabs open and a partner fighting to get well.

I’m tired. I need steady work. I wrote about it.

When your trauma makes you a better marketer but nobody wants to talk about that part.

Some days, it feels like you’re throwing effort into a black hole.

No applause. No feedback. Just…crickets.

And yet, you keep showing up.

That’s the part no one claps for. That’s the part that builds everything.

If today’s one of those “black hole” days, I see you. You’re not alone.

My partner is home. Crutches. 60 pounds down. I’m running on fumes and folding laundry between job apps—but we made it through the worst.

If you’re someone who’s been rooting for us, thanks.
If you feel like sending dinner vibes, I’m @exhotmess on Venmo. No pressure. Just deep, messy gratitude.

Burnout doesn’t always look like crashing. Sometimes it looks like obsessively tweaking a Canva graphic for two hours because you can’t face the next task. Ask me how I know. 🫠 #CreativeLife

If your content sounds like ChatGPT wrote it…
Someone probably skimmed it, shrugged, and kept scrolling.
Want engagement? Write like you talk.
Want trust? Write like you mean it.

Hot take: We don’t need more tools. We need better instincts.

Marketers obsess over AI, funnels & frameworks—and forget the human on the other side.

Marketing = empathy, clarity, timing.

Some days I’m a brilliant strategist.
Some days I’m a sad sandwich in yoga pants.
Both versions still know how to grow a podcast and rank your content on page one.

Balance. 🧘‍♀️💻 #MarketingLife
