I flew to London thinking it was just a trip. Coldplay, my dad, a couple of hugs from friends, some shopping. Nothing dramatic. But that weekend hit me in a way I didn’t see coming.

Somewhere between the music, the crowd, and the Venezuelan orchestra stepping on stage, I realized how long it had been since I felt real energy — not the “I need to create content” energy, not the “I should be productive” energy. Actual human energy.

And I didn’t know how empty I’d been running until something finally filled me again.

Coldplay invited the Venezuelan orchestra to play with them — and the story behind that alone is wild. One call. A month and a half to move 60 musicians across the world. A strike that kept them there longer than planned. And still: they showed up. They played with everything they had. They created something bigger than themselves.

Standing there, knowing my dad helped build that orchestra, watching everyone give their all… it cracked something open for me.

It reminded me how much we underestimate the power of being moved by something that has nothing to do with work.

This episode of Branding Momentum was different for me. More personal. Less about marketing tactics and more about what actually sustains the person doing the work.

And honestly? It felt right.

So once a month, I’ll share something like this — the behind-the-scenes, the real stories, the part that doesn’t always make it into the business talk but affects everything anyway.

Why This Actually Matters for Your Business

If you’ve been feeling flat, stuck, uninspired, tired — that doesn’t automatically mean you need a new strategy.

Sometimes you just need to feel alive again.

When we get into “I have to do everything alone” mode, when we’re tired but keep pushing, when we ignore the human part because the business part feels more urgent… our work loses something. Our ideas lose something. We lose something.

London reminded me that momentum doesn’t happen from grinding. It happens from connection, from energy, from people who bring out the best version of you — not the depleted one.

Maybe You Don’t Need a New Plan, Maybe You Need a Spark

Not a retreat to London (though I won’t stop you).Just something that wakes you up again.

A moment.

A place.

A conversation.

A reminder that you’re still here, you’re still capable, and your business is allowed to feel good.

And if you’ve been telling yourself you “don’t have time” to refill your own energy… you’re probably the person who needs it the most.
