The sun is shining this morning, and even though I’ve been deep in my X-Factor certification exam, I caught myself wishing I was by a lake with a book instead. My creative rhythm feels… a little off.

But not for the reason I thought.

You know that feeling when you finally finish a printable… and yet? It doesn’t feel like a win?

It’s done—but it’s not alive.
And if we feel that, our customers will too.

That’s why so many projects stall in folders.
Not because we’re lazy. But because deep down, we sense: something’s missing.

🪶 XP tip:
Done ≠ alive

Next time you feel stuck between “done” and “not done,” try this:

Ask yourself what would make the project feel more alive to you.

One small tweak can flip it from another task into a spark of momentum.

✨ That’s what Guide #1 is here to help with: moving from “just done” to done and alive.

It’s part of your waitlist onboarding goodies for those curious about The Nest’s Second Flight.

No more flat files.
No more checkboxes that don’t spark.

If your creativity’s been craving more than a to-do list, maybe it’s time to stop pushing… and start feeling.

I’m choosing to step away for an hour or two today. I'll make myself a good lunch, grab a book, and soak up some crisp fall air.

Then I’ll come back reenergized, ready to tackle the next section of my exam and dream up more inspired suggestions for my “pretend” client.

👉 If that’s the kind of rhythm you want too, the waitlist is open here:

Because sometimes the best way forward isn’t forcing it — it’s letting yourself breathe so the spark has space to show up again.

Thanks for being part of my journey,

Stéphanie

P.S. If your printable feels a little flat right now…
Maybe it’s just waiting for you to fall in love with it again!

👉 The Nest doors are closed for now, but the waitlist is open if you’d like to join me for this next chapter 🛫

NOTE: I'm moving things around in the backend to make room for a new project. Can you help me spot "bad experiences" regarding my site, your members' area, communications, or whatever? I would really appreciate your help with this! It will make it so much easier for me to fix and improve everything that needs attention. Thank you!
