#EP. 24 // In this episode I'm reflecting on a heavy yet life-changing 2025. From burnout and mental health struggles, career pivots, and everything I learned while slowing down and choosing myself (for once). I share more about my experience with letting go of the pressure around the whole "new year, new me" concept and how I'm trying to embrace a softer and more honest approach to growth, rest, and simply just trusting my gut.I hope this can be a reminder to others to not be afraid of starting fresh and at your own pace, to be okay with imperfections we may have and to never forget that it's never too late to reset your life!!!

#EP. 22 // Believe it or not, overconsumption is quietly ruining our creativity.

From TikTok “must-haves” to constant ads, we’re consuming more than ever—and outsourcing our problem-solving in the process. In this episode, I share a personal story, break down how buying has become our first solution, why I think the overconsumption of media in general is a nightmare itself, and explain why thinking for yourself actually builds creativity and confidence.

Plus, I share simple ways to be more intentional and start creating more than you consume. Enjoyyyyy!!

#EP. 21 // After a little over three years of being an In-House Social Media Manager, I've decided to step away from what I once thought was my "dream job".

#EP 20 // In this episode, I'm breaking down what it actually means to be an artist today ...minus the myths of the “starving” or “tortured” genius that we all grew up on. We look at where those ideas came from, why they stuck around, and how modern creatives are dealing with a whole new kind of chaos (hello, burnout and constant noise :))))) ).

I'm also diving into the real pros and cons: the freedom, the joy, the underpay, the uncertainty.

Being an artist is still a wild, high-risk, high-reward ride but it’s yours !!! And that’s where the magic lies.

EP #15 // What if the reason you’re stuck isn’t because you’re not ready—but because you’re waiting to be perfect first?

It’s not unheard of for creatives to battle perfectionism! Most creatives are very hard on themselves and may never feel as though they are enough unless they are absolutely perfect or “number one”.

Today we are going to unpack the belief that as creatives we need to be “ready” or “perfect” before we begin.

We’re diving into why we should embrace the rocky beginnings, the messiness, and the ride of starting a project, a new adventure, or even our creative journeys.
