You Can Do It All (Without Losing Your Mind)

So let’s just go ahead and say the quiet part out loud:Yes, I do a lot.


I run a music school.I started a boutique piano program for little ones.I created a girl-centered arts program.I’m building a consulting brand.Oh — and I’m a mom, a musician, a mentor, and an all-around creative force.

People love to ask, “How do you do it all?”The real answer? Intention, alignment, and knowing when to sit my butt down and rest.


Let’s talk about how I manage multiple brands, stay (mostly) sane, and still have room for joy.


🔥 1. I Don’t Do “Random.” I Do Aligned.

Everything I create is connected to my mission: using music, culture, and education to actually change lives.

Bull City Music School? That’s community work.Petite Piano? Early childhood access.Brown Sugar Music Project? Black girls front and center.The Studio Blueprint? Helping creatives build their own thing.

So yes, I do a lot — but I’m not all over the place.Each brand feeds a bigger purpose. That’s what keeps me grounded.



🧠 2. I Think Like a CEO — Even When I’m in Sweatpants

It’s one thing to be creative. It’s another thing to turn creativity into an ecosystem.

I had to shift my mindset:

  • No more hustle without a plan.

  • No more flying by the seat of my genius.

  • Now, I use systems. I delegate. I map things out.

Running multiple brands means I treat each one like its own business, with its own vibe, audience, and goals. But I’m the thread that ties them all together.



✨ 3. I Let the Brands Work With Each Other

You know what makes this easier? Letting my brands talk to each other.

A kid might start in Petite Piano, grow up in Bull City Music School, and go on to lead in Brown Sugar.A music teacher who learns from The Studio Blueprint might one day start a version of Petite Piano in their city.It’s all connected.

I’m not doing a bunch of unrelated things. I’m building a web of impact.



💻 4. I Use Tools So I Don’t Lose It

I’m not out here remembering everything off vibes. I use tools.

  • Google Calendar runs my life.

  • Asana keeps my content straight.

  • I plan content in bulk. I schedule emails. I hire help when I need it.

Systems aren’t restrictive — they’re freedom. Especially when you’re wearing 14 hats.



💛 5. I Protect My Peace Like It’s a Full-Time Job

The truth? Doing a lot only works when you rest a lot.

I block off weekends.I step away from social when I need to.I don’t say yes to things that drain me.I build breaks into my brands.

Because burnout? That’s not cute. And you can’t build anything lasting if you’re running on empty.



👑 Final Thoughts: You're Not Doing Too Much — You're Doing What You’re Called to Do

Some people will never get it.They’ll call you “too much.” They’ll wonder why you won’t just pick one thing.

But you know what?You were never meant to be just one thing.You were made to create, lead, stretch, and build something bigger than you.

So go ahead — do the most. But do it with vision.And don’t forget: You can do it all. Just not all at once. And not without rest.
