#vss365 #exalt The baddest girl balances a perfect step away from extremes. Imperfect themes stray from cliché. Rather than play to exalt being ground to a halt, her claims hold water. The tiniest seed names the baddest song songs get wrong. Where is her harmony? There is her friend. 🎵👼🏽🎶

3️⃣ Pro Tools - Sound quality will separate you from the crowd. Mix your masters like a pro with industry-level software like Ableton, Logic Pro, or FL Studio. 4️⃣ Mindset - Stay indie. Independence is your SUPERPOWER—use it to share your artistry and inspire others.

Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning was a disappointment 😕 Trite storyline, overblown action scenes, and when did Tom Cruise become the William Shatner of acting?? I kept hoping it'd get better but sadly, it never did.

Don't you find being angry all the time exhausting? Life is so short and unpredictable. One day it seems like the "issues" matter, but then you realize it's all sh!t. Sunshine on your face Nourishing food Belly Laughs Family Hugs These things matter.

🧵Hello, indie musician... You are not your fans. You are a lifestyle brand. The content you share is less about you and more about them and what they want. So, how do you know what "content" is good to share? 👇🏾

What are some things you can post to see what your fans like? A day in the life - record B-roll as you go about your day. Recording sessions - show folks what it's like in the studio (psst...you can overlay pre-recorded songs). Interview your bandmates - or interview yourself! (Ask me how) 👇🏾

You don't get to decide what's "good" content. That's for your fans to decide. But how will you know what they like and want to see more of? Post something different every day. Track engagement. Rinse + repeat. 👇🏾

BREAKING NEWS I'm absolutely floored and saddened to learn Voke has closed shop 😭 I was recommended this amazing product in a #menopause support group when searching for something, anything to help with brain fog. Those chewables were a f*cking Godsend! What now?? Coffee doesn't cut it 😕

The right people who are supposed to be in your life will show up, and then you won't have to chase them to stick around. These folks are your circle, your support. But others are in your life for a reason and a season. Trust that.

How did I get through menopause?? Scathed, battered, beaten, and bruised ... but not broken... without HRT. No shade but HRT isn't for everyone for a myriad of reasons. Yes, I suffered and maybe HRT could have helped with symptoms but it's not a cure. #Menopause is a natural transition...

@jaehermann.bsky.social

HRT does not stop the clock but rather, prolongs the inevitable and can make matters worse. I'm 5 generations deep of women who didn't use HRT. They survived, as have so many before them. Honestly, I was skeptical because there were days when I thought I wouldn't make it through, but here I am.

I've seen the "new" science about HRT and #menopause and wonder how much of the recent publicity isn't just a ploy from big pharma to further cash in on women's suffering 😕

Don’t spend years #writing 500 words daily, never sharing a thing. My drafts were in digital purgatory. Then I started hitting publish weekly. Terrifying? Yes. But those "not good enough" posts helped more people than my perfect drafts ever did. Stop waiting. Hit publish. Your words matter.

Can you appreciate art without judging the artist? Yes, yes you can. Rediscovering the artistry of real photography (sans AI) has been a really nice reminder that I don't need to know you or your politics to appreciate your art.
