Midyear Reflections: Has It Been Unhinged Enough?

Send us Fan Mail Host Elsa returns with a mid-year update on her three words—relentless, unhinged, and ascending—originally shared in January. She explains how “relentless” has shown up through committing to a new studio, creating beauty edits, and working toward fully setting up an in-person podcast recording space with a planned roster of guests. “Unhinged” has meant taking bold leaps, including joining a cabaret program led by Priscilla, which became a healing, confidence-building experience rooted in women in community and learning to say no to misaligned opportunities. “Ascending” reflects continued growth without slipping into toxic self-comparison, as she focuses on building the studio, expanding media and beauty work, and staying open to new opportunities. She shares that the next three weeks are booked and invites listeners to follow her updates, including on Instagram for Svea the Beauty Edit. 00:00 Welcome to the Circus 00:26 Life Update and Rewind 00:49 Three Words for 2026 01:37 Relentless Without Burnout 02:45 Building the Studio Vision 03:52 Unhinged Energy and Bold Moves 04:22 Cabaret as Healing Self Care 05:22 Saying No and Finding Confidence 08:20 Ascending Into the Back Half 10:17 What’s Next and Closing Thoughts 11:28 Podcast Outro and Community Invite Thanks for listening to It’s a Circus Podcast — Unfiltered stories of motherhood, identity, and the art of Self care These stories remind you that you’re not alone in the chaos.
