I believe we do need to be in action. As a former over achiever and over worker, I like to think about hustle as more of divine connection. Just too long in the Hollywood trenches to think about that kind of hustle again!

Love the anecdote you shared from Will Smith, but even more I love your commentary about hustling. Couldn't agree more. ♡

Happy to be a coffee breaker but I must admit... I'm reading this and drinking tea. Can I still sit with you..? 😄

Without a doubt, you can, Rahma! I turned to the tea when I am working late at night, so without the title of my newsletter, this is not a coffee-exclusive club 😊

Drinking coffee right now while reading a coffee break article and being a coffee breaker is one of those surreal moments in life where you really do think "What a time to be alive". This is especially true on harder writing days when you suffer from writer's block or self-comparisons. Being in a time when you can write on a website with hundreds of readers is also surreal, and incredible, and sometimes that's all the reminder you need to keep writing! thank you for sharing.
