    One Room Challenge: Week 3 – Flex Space Makeover

    May 24, 2020home, lifestyle, ORC

    I have no clue how this is the end of week three for One Room Challenge, but here we are! If you missed it, you can read all about the kick-off to this round. I’m working on a flex space on the first floor of my townhouse to make it the perfect content creating studio.

     I’ll be completely honest, I didn’t get much done when it comes to ORC this week. I had a rough time motivating myself and not feeling overwhelmed by what’s happening in our world. I also was in “launch mode” of my new coaching program and devoted a lot of time and energy into making sure the first session went off without a hitch. Usually, I would push through, but it’s a new day. 

    The Kachet Life-One Room Challenge 2020

    ONE ROOM CHALLENGE IN A PANDEMIC

    I was wondering if what’s happening in the world with COVID was going to catch up with me. I hit the ground running during lockdown (and shared some things that I did in my business, too) and really enjoyed the “break” that shelter in place provided. We live in Dallas, and Texas opened up weeks ago, but my fiancé and I are still maintaining a SIP lifestyle. There are too many people out and about without social distancing or masks. It looks like “nothing is going on,” that things are normal, and it gives me some anxiety. Because they are anything BUT right now.

    Going through this while being so far away from home has been a trip. We relocated from Sacramento just a month before things started to get real (as Cardi B would say). CJ + I travel a lot, for business and pleasure, and I should’ve been back to California twice by now. I would always miss my friends and family with the move, but I miss them even more because I’m not able to cultivate relationships here through networking without worry. 

    So much of my creative process comes from being out and about. I’m inspired by coffee shops I work in, other offices, flora + fauna, conversations, as well as through touch. It’s a complete sensory experience. I just haven’t been able to “be me” so keeping things moving with the room while waiting for so many shipped things to arrive has been at a snail’s pace. But, even a snail eventually gets across the sidewalk after it rains. So, just call me the snail this week! After spending less time on social media, plenty of time sleeping, and lots of time reflecting, I’m feeling so much better. I’m also feeling better now that I established a plan for myself. 

    CREATING A SELF-CARE PLAN DURING ONE ROOM CHALLENGE

    Last year during One Room Challenge, two of my dear friends (Rebecca of Studio Plumb, who’s a Featured Designer this year + self-care coach Tami Hackbarth) collaborated on a self-care plan worksheet for those participating. It started from Rebecca’s own experience with life post-ORC. With all of the moving parts, ideas swirling – not to mention the ticking clock, it’s easy for burnout to sneak up on you. The uncertainty of our world right now combined with changes in lifestyle definitely warrants a plan for success.

    What I love about this worksheet is that it doesn’t just have to help those that are participating in One Room Challenge. It’s totally applicable for any type of project or challenge like a program launch or a lifestyle change! I’ve been able to identify the areas of my routine that need to be tweaked in order for me to attack the project with enthusiasm. Nothing’s perfect, so I’ve made it realistic for my unique situation because I’m a person that thrives once I cross some milestones.

    If any of you were feeling like me this week, know you’re not alone and we’re going to be just fine taking it a day at a time. Download the worksheet and create your own plan. It may help you feel better. 

    I’ve got quite a few things for arriving at the house this week, and I’m looking forward to showing you how things are unfolding and getting your input on how to approach the rest of One Room Challenge. Thank you so much for your understanding!

    Y'all... nothing got lit this weekend except for t Y'all... nothing got lit this weekend except for the candles! 😂🕯✨Seriously, what a month February has been. Closing out the month cozy at home as the rain fell outside was perfection today. I even took a nap!

Are you ready for a new month as much as I am?! 🙌🏾 March will bring a lot our way, but one thing it'll bring is a NEW SEASON. Yes, the first day of Spring is March 20th 👀 despite what the weather has in store.

    Wednesday, we made it through!👩🏾‍💻🍷T Wednesday, we made it through!👩🏾‍💻🍷The last few weeks (and let’s just say year because we’re coming up on one year since lockdown) have been crazy, filled up with ups and downs for all of us. 

And through it all, I’ve been fortunate enough to work with amazing, creative entrepreneurs that have:

▪️Found their voice + rhythm when it comes to communicating to their ideal client/customer/follower
▪️Pitched + landed PAID deals with their dream brand
▪️Increased their web presence (because I LOVE IG, but there’s other touchpoint and revenue opportunities OFF of the app)
▪️Launched digital and physical products
▪️Contributing to and being featured by publications

And, to me, the most transformative: 

▪️Cultivating the courage to go after what they want relentlessly

That’s why I LOVE being #CoachKach. 
It’s really so content creators, solopreneurs + creative business owners like you can blow through your lofty goals + grab control of your brand +  life.

It’s never been easier than it is right now to do this. All you need is confidence and the right tools + support to get you there. And with one-on-one coaching with me, you’ll get just that.

I’m your digital bestie helping you navigate scaling your business using social, creating content, pitching brands + media and crafting your product/service offer.

▪️Get an opportunity that you’re not sure is taking advantage of your time and talent? Send it to me and we’ll chat it through.

▪️Need to make sure you’re not missing something in your launch plan because you’ve been looking at it too closely? I’m your second set of eyes with examples and other creatives to connect with.

▪️ Start feeling like you can’t do it? I’ll be there telling you YOU CAN — and showing you that you WILL.

If you’re ready to turn up the heat this year, shoot me a DM! I have O N E spot left for the next couple of months at this level of support. If you know you need this, but have questions, let’s talk + see if we can make it a reality for you.
