What does it mean to create with empathy?

Dee & Vee dig into the importance of letting your ego have a seat, finding your tribe, and what’s possible when we appreciate art as an exchange instead of a competition.

What does it mean to truly accept yourself and your path? Dee and Vee dig deep into navigating creative ambitions, family expectations, and self-validation through the power of “f**k it energy.”

Dee & Vee dive how they navigate focus, discipline & boundless inspiration to yield unexpectedly powerful results.

This episode celebrates the at times messy—MIDDLE. That in-between stage of creativity or life where it might feel like you’ve come a long way but maybe reality ain’t really matching your dreams . In a world where success is often tied to a destination, what does it mean to savor the journey? What lessons can we learn from practicing patience and embracing imperfection?

Hustle culture got folks out here thinking rest is a luxury, but let’s be real—constant output is a quick ticket to Burnout City.
