I’m moving to Palm Springs?!?!
Hey friends,
As you can tell from the subject line, I have a fun life update to share: I’m moving to Palm Springs on April 1st! 🌴
Well, kind of.
Here’s the deal: I have always dreamed about living in Palm Springs. It is truly my happiest place, and where I feel the most inspired – especially when it comes to creating content.
I’ve been thinking a lot about making some changes with my work, as I figure out what I truly like doing in my business, and what I want to do more or less of in 2022 (I talked about this in detail in my 2021 Business Recap video).
And the truth is, I just really fucking love creating content.
I want to spend my time creating.
I want to focus on my Instagram content, I want to make Youtube videos, I want to get back to writing blog posts, and I really want to get my TikTok going.
But I barely have time to do that, because I’ve been focused on other projects like freelance work or optimizing my courses.
So I rented a gorgeous two-bedroom place in Palm Springs for the month of April, so I can spend almost all my time focused on creating content, every single day, and really give myself a shot at making this whole creator thing work.
And what better place to do that than the land of sunshine, palm trees, bougainvillea, and mid-century modern architecture?!
So I guess I’m kind of creating my own TikTok content house, just for me (lol).
Now, I will be honest and say that taking this leap comes at a significant cost - renting a house in PS is not cheap, and though I did get a good deal on a place through a friend-of-a-friend thanks to Omicron cancellations, it’s still expensive.
It's also very costly to my mental health - to pay for the house, I took on a short-term freelance project for Feb/March, but I really struggled in February as I burned myself out again because I had taken on WAY too much.
And in order to spend April focused on content creation, I have been grinding HARD during Feb & now for the month of March, with the goal to wrap up my big projects by the time I head down there. So I hope it's worth it!!
But if there’s one thing I’ve learned over the past year, it’s that I should take more risks in my business, because I am someone who loves to deliver under pressure. #capricorn
And I really have to stop just thinking about what I want to be doing, and actually create the space to DO IT NOW, instead of waiting for “one day.”
The one consistent goal I have had in my life is to buy a mid-century modern house in Palm Springs. To be specific: a Wexler or Alexander with a butterfly roof…it’s all about manifestation, right?!
Envisioning living in that house is the main motivating factor I have used to fuel growth in my career for the past 8 years, so it feels really good to be taking a baby step towards making that dream a reality, even if it’s only for a month.
Until then, I’ll be working on locking in my content strategy for 2022, getting my website live, and pushing out an update to The Reels Course!
I also started doing weekly AMA’s on my Instagram stories every Thursday so I can chat and connect with you more, so if you have any marketing, career, or life questions just drop them in the question box on Wednesdays!

P.S. Palm Springs vlog dropping sooon so you can see why I love it!
P.P.S. Russell and I are doing good and this isn't a separation or anything! I'm going down to Palm Springs solo for a month and he is joining me for Coachella! 🎡 Just because we're married doesn't mean that I can't do things without him - his job isn't remote-friendly, and I don't want to hold myself back from doing things I want to do just because he can't join ✌️
