I wanted to share why I’m going so hard to reinvent this brand. I’ve always been the type to hustle my way through whatever life throws at me. Couldn’t afford school? I picked up a second job. No car? I clocked 10 hours of overtime every week and said no to brunch dates. No equipment for my new business? I worked every weekend and missed out on time with my siblings.

I’ve hustled my way out of debt, out of relationships, out of trouble—and right into the next challenge. And I did it with little support, heartbreak on top of heartbreak, and a mountain of debt. Through it all, I kept my head up... and my pretty intact.

But after years of moving in survival mode, something had to give. I started burning out—physically, emotionally, spiritually. I was resenting people who didn’t show up for me, and worse… I started resenting me. My goals were slipping through the cracks, and honestly, I felt like I was falling behind in life. Yes, I asked for this life. But I didn’t ask for the burnout that came with it. I didn’t realize how much it would cost me to keep pushing with no pause.

Now? I’m moving different. I’m choosing peace. I’m giving myself space to grow, breathe, and be. I’m in love with what I do again—from all angles. I’m finally creating a life I don’t need to recover from.

This new chapter is about more than just the hustle. It’s about healing. It’s about telling the truth behind the grind. It’s about giving the grace we never got.

Welcome to The Hustler’s Interlude.

Let’s talk about the in-between. Let’s honor every part of the journey.

With love,

Kanika
