Finding Peace in a Busy Season: Why Creative Studio Owners Deserve Support Too
As a designer who supports women-led creative studios, I see it all the time—founders juggling dozens of roles, trying to keep everything running while still holding space for creative work. When life gets busy (and let’s be real, when isn’t it?), it’s easy to believe we’ll feel more grounded “once things calm down.”
But what if this season—this exact one—has something to offer you that no other season can?
That question hit me recently while reading The Monday Club newsletter, and it’s been shifting the way I move through these hectic weeks. Between my client work and a 30-hour-a-week marketing job, even my hobbies have started to feel like to-do list items. But I’ve been learning to embrace small grounding habits as a way to bring peace into the chaos—not wait for peace to show up after the chaos ends.
And that version of me? The grounded, present one? She’s the one I want showing up for my clients.
3 Ways to Find Balance in a Busy Season:
1. Make Peace a Daily Habit, Not a Future Goal
Don’t wait for things to calm down. Look for one small way to create calm today—whether it’s a 10-minute walk, a slow lunch break, or saying no to one task that can wait.
2. Redefine Productivity
Some of the most powerful work you do won’t look productive from the outside. Rest. Reflection. Reset. These aren’t breaks from work—they’re part of the creative process.
3. Accept Support (and Ask for It!)
No one builds something impactful alone. Having design support behind the scenes frees you up to focus on what really lights you up—whether that’s client strategy, product development, or just making it to your next yoga class.
If You’re Ready for Support, I’m Here.
My design retainers are built for women-led studios that want to grow without burning out. I offer strategic design you can trust—so you can spend less time staring at blank Canva files and more time doing what you love.
You don’t have to wait for things to slow down to start feeling like yourself again. Peace and momentum can coexist. Sometimes, all it takes is the right support.
