We wouldn’t let a perv flash us in public. So why do we keep letting content do it on loop? Rage bait and brain rot are the new trench coat, and we’re all waiting to see what lies beneath.

Hey everyone—what’s up?

Today’s theme is: How to stay creative when the world around you is an absolute dumpster fire.

I talk about the importance of protecting your attention, separating art from politics, and how creativity can be an act of self-preservation—and connection.

I want to be super honest here: I’m not a psychologist or a life coach (whatever that is). I’m just a dude who’s been around for a while, learned a few things and wants to make the world slightly less awful. Maybe even make you laugh.

If you’re a creative person stuck in a soulless job — I feel you. I am you. In this episode, I dive into a few small but meaningful tactics to help make work life more bearable.I explore questions like: How do I stop my job from killing my soul? Why do I always feel so far behind? How can I stop taking everything so personally? I’m not a psychologist or a life coach — just someone with a lot of lived experience and a strong desire to make the world a little less awful (and maybe make you laugh along the way).
