Finding Purpose: How I Stay Creative Without Burning Out

Hey y’all 💭 Feeling the Sunday scaries and thinking about what keeps me grounded lately. Erik Erikson talks about generativity— that stage when you want to give back, to nurture others. Teaching middle schoolers has me living that out every day. I don’t have biological kids, but I do have “brain children”—ideas, stories, and students I’ve helped grow. 🌱

Lately, I’m trying to stay creative and generous without burning out—through music, reflection, and connecting deeply with others. How do you tap into your own spiritual energy and stay generative?
