Wolfie, 29, Digital Artist, 6 Month Program
[I've] struggle[d] with Depression, ADHD, and severe anxiety and for YEARSSS its been getting in the way of my art and writing. Ever since I signed up for Riley's management, I've found my myself creating a bit more. I'm still my worse enemy, but Riley calmly tells and reminds me of the progress I've made. She has me list out all the things I have been able to. This isn't exclusive to creating, she also helped me realize things I don't tend to focus on. For example, there was one week where I felt like I couldn't create but I listed out how I was able to get out of bed, eat food and take my meds. Riley helps you realize that even if you aren't creating, you're still taking care of yourself. I've caught myself being mean to myself on many occasions and have been able to lessen it since it reminded me of Riley had told me. It's given me some confidence back and for the first time in a while, I find myself enjoying art again.Riley is also very understanding when life stuff comes up. There was one time where I felt I let her down because I wasn't doing the goals I set up due to depression intensifying due to family issues. I told her I know I can do better and listed out all I could do better. Riley reminded me to take a step back, to breathe, and give myself some grace since things were tough at the moment. She helped me set more manageable bite size goals. Riley introduced me to habit stacking, where you pair up a responsibility with something you want to do. For me, it's eating and taking my medicine, THEN drawing or writing. It's helped a lot!If you ever feel like you want to change something with your goals or feel like the schedule isn't working, don't be afraid to voice it!! Riley is more than willing to take time to adjust and reevaluate everything.Riley is your teammate and wants to help you! She is an absolute sweet heart who wants to help other creatives out!! I highly recommend her!!
