Life & Blog Update - 4/9/2021

Hey guys! I feel like one of these is SO LONG overdue especially because of how inactive I've been on this blog due to focusing more on my podcast, "It's A BOP! with Jess" (if you haven't checked it out on Spotify.. do it now)! I'm surprised there are still viewers after the podcast came out so I'm really doing this post for those who still view this blog.

I'm going to update y'all on my life, the future of this blog, podcast, & more so let's get right into this because we've got a lot to discuss!

So how's life going for me at the moment?

I've been consistently busy with work, my podcast, & just keeping up with my closest family & friends. I recently got fully vaccinated so I've been adjusting with knowing that & not living in super constant fear over this pandemic (still wear your masks in public)!

I'm going to my first concert of the year THIS TUESDAY!!! AHHH! I can't believe this day is finally here! It's a social distanced show & we have our own boxed in pod so that should be interesting! I just thought this day would never come again so I'm PUMPED!

Summer Life? Summer Plans?

I've been blogging officially for 4 YEARS which is insane to even think about!! In the first 2 years of me blogging, I use to do a summer series called Summer Life & in 2019/2020 I stopped doing it due to the fact I was working a lot & honestly we were ROBBED of Summer 2020 last year so doing a whole Summer Life series would have been weird.

This summer, I don't have any concert or vacation plans at this moment so I'm really focusing on my career & advancing it over the summer with more education. Starting next week, I'll be taking more online courses to advance my career in social media & business marketing. 

I decided to really focus now this summer on it because coming Fall 2021, I have show after show after show & for the next 2 years, I'll be career driven & crossing every tour bucket list because let's face it, this pandemic & not going to shows most of last year has made me wanna travel EVERYWHERE for shows so when it's safe to do that.. I will do that!

As far as Summer Life goes, it won't be a typical Summer Life & I want to revive the Summer Life series to where my life is now.. so yeah, we are re branding Summer Life... stay tuned!!

What even is this blog?

I know I've been inactive on this blog due to focusing more on other avenues & this blog isn't going away but, I'm really thinking of ways to re-brand this blog to make it more of the type of content I want to make but yeah.. weekly posts? Don't count too much on that LOL! 

Am I on a Podcast hiatus?

Yes, I did announce there wasn't going to be a episode next week due to the fact I'll be at the concert & I have a busy work week but lately, I've just been putting so much unnecessary stress on my content as far as the podcast goes & I've been thinking about a hiatus for a while just to give myself a break.

I know during the summer, I'll go on a podcast hiatus because I really just wanna focus on the education aspect of what I want for my future & career so after episode 20.. that will wrap up season 1!

After season 1 wraps up, I'll take a little hiatus (I'm currently 16 episodes in so the break is almost here)!

So yeah, that's my mini life update... see you in the next post whenever that will be!
