Hi! Life has been pretty wild recently, so I sat down last night and recorded a long chat with y'all about everything that's been happening recently. Listen to as much as you want, or just read the summary below if you're limited with time to see the main points of what I discuss! ❤️
The first part (until 13 mins) of this talks about some distressing events, including some brief mentions of death. The section around 24-26 mins mentions emotional abuse as the reason why it took me so long to move in, with a few specific examples (nothing too extreme).
Timestamps

Summary
I've been taking a short break from creating and posting in general for the past week, specifically related to my irl/visual content. I've been kinda unmotivated recently due to life stress with no childcare in the summer, then moving out in August, and dealing with content restrictions that have affected several of my audios recently.
If you have an audio you loved that you can't find on my page now, it was probably hidden because it went against TOS (although I have edited those posts to add disclaimers and tried to confirm that it doesn't break any rules).
Planning on doing a mini-rebrand and leaning more into the dommy succubus persona (especially with irl content!!)
Finally moved out in August after leaving our vacation early with my kid, when my mom kept prohibiting me from working because we were "at the beach, and on vacation!"
I've been really thinking about how I can better define myself as a creator now that I'm a Professional with this being my actual job– doing a lot of research, making decisions about how I want my work to be seen, etc.
I started recording audios as a hobby and hadn't been able to put full-time effort into it until more recently because of living with family/not having enough time as a single mom who was also in school.
So to sum up how I've been feeling recently, a lottt has changed, but (mostly!) in a good way. I'm just getting over a cold so my voice might be a little deeper/hoarse here but I think I'll be able to record more tomorrow! And school is finally back in session after missing two days, lol.
