How often do we ask ourselves if we feel aligned with our values and aspirations? How does pressure affect creatives? Should we share our work even when we're not completely pleased with it?

Lana takes a break from the cameras and speaks freely on anything that comes to her mind. Similar to the Lana Blakely YouTube channel, she continues to openly reflect on some of the many thoughts and feelings that are common to the human experience. New episodes every Tuesday.

28: Solo travel: The Good, The Bad And The Ugly

Labels are everywhere. We want to belong to certain communities and groups. We want to belong, period. We also want to feel understood, both by others and by ourselves. But what are some downsides of seeking out labels?
