**Update: The Busy Creative Weekend is postponed until Spring ‘27!** I asked @thebusybre the question some people may be thinking but not saying: What would you tell someone who believes the summit costs too much?

Because when you’re asking people to invest, avoiding the price conversation doesn’t help. You have to make the value clear—and Bre stood on hers.

The Busy Creative Summit kicks off TODAY, September 11–13, in Durham.

Get your ticket and use code **MUNDANELYBUSY** for 15% off the Summit Weekend Bundle.

Ambition has never been the problem, for me. 😏

The real question is: how do you build the life you want without losing yourself trying to get there?

I’m joining the Sustainable Ambition panel at The Busy Creative Summit for a real conversation about burnout, boundaries, balance, wellness and building BIG without burning out.

Because success shouldn’t cost you your peace. And baby, I’ve got a few lessons to share. 😂

🎟️ Tickets are available on POSH

Come ambitious. We’re just learning how to make it sustainable.

Last year, I watched this room become so much more than an event. Connections were made. Ideas were sparked. Doors opened. People left with something they didn’t walk in with.

And behind the scenes, no one knew the weight I was carrying. No one knew the cost (and I’m not just talking financial). But if just 1 person carries the fruit of what I’ve labored over, it will have all been worth it.

If you’ve been wondering whether you should be in the room this year… come. You never know who you’ll meet, what you’ll learn, or what will shift for you on the other side of it. by @thebusycreative

**Update: The Busy Creative Weekend is postponed until Spring ‘27!** I asked @thebusybre why The Busy Creative Summit matters so deeply to her.

Her answer made one thing clear: this isn’t simply another event she decided to put on. It’s a vision she feels responsible for carrying and a room she genuinely believes could change what comes next for the people inside it.

The Busy Creative Summit kicks off tomorrow, September 11–13, in Durham, NC.

I don’t know everything, but I know what I know! After 5 years of full-time entrepreneurship, I can assure you that the motivational quotes might help you find the language to what you’re feeling the first time your business enter a slow season…but it’s not going to give you what you need.

Slow seasons happen in every business, so what I needed in Year 1, was for someone who was 5, 10, 15+ years in this thang to tell me “oh girl that’s normal! Here’s how you navigate it.”

At @thebusycreative Summit, you’ll get to be in multiple rooms filled with those exact people! Other entrepreneurs who are experiencing the Year 1 slump or business owners who have decades worth of slumps to reach you from. Or maybe the collaborator you’ve been looking for will be in the room. Or MAYBE, you’ll meet someone who’s ready to invest in the exact product you’ve been laboring over and now your whole life has changed (word to Ginuwine) all because you made a decision to invest in yourself first.

These types of things don’t happen unless people like you are in the room! So, meet me there?

Motivation is cute.
But movement is better.
I've been to enough conferences to know the difference.

One gives you pages of notes, a few screenshots, and a framework you swear you're going to use Monday. 🤦🏽 ♀️

The other changes what happens after you leave.

Because feeling energized is easy.
You can feel energized skydiving, swimming at the beach, or scratching that deep nagging itch on your back.

But.. What did you do with it?

That's the part I care about.
And that's what you can expect at The Busy Creative Summit.

Not just that people felt good in the room.
That the room pushed them to move.

So when I step in to teach Create Like a Human. Scale Like a Machine., yes, we're going to talk AI and all things creative.
But I'm not interested in giving people another list of tools, screenshots and fuzzy heart emojis. (I LOVE those)

I want you to leave knowing what to automate, what to protect, and what you need to do differently the minute you walk out.

This conference won't just leave you inspired.
It will leave you in motion.

See all my creativepreneurs at the summit! by @thebusycreative

Stop it🛑! We know that's not you!
AI can make you faster. But it can also make you forgettable.

And I think that's the conversation we need to be having now.
Because everybody is learning how to prompt better, automate more, create faster...

But somewhere in all that efficiency, we better make damn sure we don't automate away the thing people actually want to connected with.. YOU!

Sept 25th, in Durham, I'll be digging into this a little deeper at The Busy Creative Summit with: Create Like a Human. Scale Like a Machine.

Because I'm all for letting AI do some heavy lifting.
I just refuse to let it steal the mic. 🎤 by @thebusycreative
