Solo episode! It’s a new season, and we’re kicking things off raw and unfiltered—literally, recorded in my PJs in one take!

Are you stuck in the scroll, watching everyone else live their dreams instead of building your own? Been there. Or maybe you want to create, but self-doubt keeps shutting you down before you even start?

In this episode, let's talk about how we can shift from only consuming to more creating, and finally trusting your own voice. Because if we want a life that actually excites us, we get to create it.

New Episodes Tuesdays!

Hey, I’m Natasha Mayet—actor, acting coach, and all-around creative. My mission? To follow my f*cking dreams and inspire you to do the same.

Let’s be real—“follow your dreams” sounds cute, but how do you actually do it? How do you push past fear, self-doubt, and all the sh*t life throws your way? What does it really take to bet on yourself when everything feels impossible?

That’s exactly what we’re figuring out here.

This podcast is dedicated to my dad, who told me to follow my dreams (without the F). But let’s be honest—the F is necessary. Because chasing a dream isn’t just about manifesting and good vibes. It’s about taking action, getting uncomfortable, and going for it—even when you have no idea what the F you’re doing.

Every episode, I’m sharing the mindset shifts, creative breakthroughs, and real, unfiltered moments of this journey. Plus, I’ll be talking to badass artists, entrepreneurs, and risk-takers—people who didn’t wait for permission, they just went for it.
