January has been big — emotionally, creatively, existentially.
This month has held grief, growth, clarity, overwhelm, and a lot of honest questioning about what I’m building next — and how I want to build it. I’ve been reflecting on creativity not as content or output, but as contribution. As something alive. Something worth sharing.
After losing a beloved member of our music community, I was reminded that creative work is a gift — not proof, not ego, not something to hide until it’s perfect. Life can end abruptly. The work deserves to live.
Alongside this, I’ve been reshaping my business, rebranding Fearless Singer into Femme Music, and choosing a model rooted in self-trust, intuition, structure, and sustainability — especially for artists navigating change, burnout, and visibility.
This reflection explores grief, intuition, money, creative momentum, and what it really means to choose when to jump — without rushing or abandoning yourself in the process.
