About your creative GPS

𝕪𝕠𝕦𝕣 𝕔𝕣𝕖𝕒𝕥𝕚𝕧𝕖 𝔾𝗣𝕊 is where I share the real stuff that helps me keep moving forward as a multi-hyphenate creative. It’s not just about social media or auditions, or gigs, or writing, or travel. It’s about the whole messy, beautiful mix of creativity and living life. Some weeks you’ll hear a pep talk, other weeks I’ll share lessons from my own wins (and those and the bumps in the road). My hope is that each episode helps you feel less alone and just a bit clearer on your own path... wherever that compass is pointing. 🦋 socialbutterflygroup.substack.com (https://socialbutterflygroup.substack.com?utm_medium=podcast)

   It's A World's Collide Day - Minisode

   Yesterday (Tuesday) was what I call a ‘worlds collide’ day. 🌍 🌏 I slept in a little (like 7am lol, which honestly felt luxurious), worked from bed for a bit because I was trying to keep my cortisol low, and then dove right in. Today I’ve been: ✨ A talent agent ✨ A social media strategist ✨ A writer on Substack ✨ A voice teacher ✨ A singer and pianist ✨ And I even got to be on a panel talking about talent representation and how we can better support performers. Now? I’m packing for San Antonio because I’m heading to the National Association of Teachers of Singing conference this weekend, where I’ll be doing social media, interviewing people, seeing dear friends, and probably hugging a lot of faces. 🫶 I also finally upgraded my gear! I have a new RØDE mic setup and a gimbal, so I’m basically in my ‘tiny media company’ era and I’m ridiculously excited about it. These are the days that remind me how much I genuinely love having a portfolio life. My worlds don’t compete with each other, they feed each other. Being a performer makes me a better teacher. Being a teacher makes me a better agent. Being an agent makes me a better strategist. Writing helps me process it all. And here’s my little reminder for you: Do the things you love. And if you’re in a season where you’re mostly doing the things you must, find small pockets for the things that light you up. They matter. I’m going to be checking in throughout the conference, (I’m doing a little yap challenge) so if you have questions about social media, talent representation, singing, performing, or building a creative career with lots of moving pieces, ask away, I’d love to hear it. Happy Tuesday-now-Wednesday, friends. Here. We. Go. 🦋 🎭🎵✍️ 📸 📲 🎹 Tutorials coming later this week! The Social Butterfly Buzz is a reader-supported publication.
