In this episode, I talk about what it feels like to hit creative burnout when the world already feels so heavy. Between the headlines, the heartbreak, and the pressure to keep producing, I almost didn’t record this. But with a little encouragement from friends—and my therapist—I was reminded that creativity isn’t just nice to have. It’s necessary.

We’ll explore what it means to keep showing up as a creative person in hard times, why dreaming matters more than ever, and how even the smallest acts of expression can be a lifeline. If you’ve been feeling stuck, tired, or unsure if your voice still matters, this episode is for you.

You don’t have to be creating big things to be a creative person. Sometimes holding on is the art.

In honor of Mental Health Awareness Month, Paola opens up about living with depression and anxiety—and what it really looks like to prioritize your mental well-being. She gently unpacks harmful myths, shares real-life self-care tools, and reminds listeners that needing help is never a weakness.

Featuring the powerful quote, “When we recover loudly, we keep others from dying quietly,” this episode is both an honest reflection and a soft place to land.

Whether you're in the thick of it or simply holding space for someone else, this is for you. You are not alone here.

Ever felt connected to strangers without saying a word? In this episode, I share my experience at a silent book club—how a quiet room full of readers felt more comforting than awkward (well… mostly). We also talk about the magic of daylight stretching longer, why winter’s slow pace deserves more love, and the simple joys we might be overlooking. Plus, I confess my fear of starting sourdough (why does it feel like adopting a pet?!). If you've ever been intimidated by trying something new, this one’s for you.
