What happens when you start becoming visible... and people begin projecting onto you?

This week I'm joined by actress, sales strategist, and spiritual teacher Ruby Robinson for one of the most honest conversations I've ever had on the podcast. We dive into spirituality, celebrity, identity, fame, nervous system regulation, creativity, and the very real fear of accidentally becoming someone's "guru."

If you've ever wondered where the line is between influence and worship, ambition and ego, or manifestation and identity, this conversation is for you.

In this episode, we cover:

What if it’s not too late to reinvent yourself, build an audience, and create the career you thought you missed?

In this episode, I sit down with comedian, podcast host, and content creator Lori Alterman to talk about how she started over in her 50s, went viral on TikTok, and built an entirely new career around comedy, pop culture, reality TV, and her unmistakable point of view.

Lori Alterman shares how a nervous breakdown, trauma therapy, and the end of an era in motherhood pushed her to ask what she wanted the rest of her life to look like. We also talk about the courage it takes to keep going when your family, friends, or online critics do not understand your vision.

In this episode, we cover:

We also answer a question from inside the Celebrity Circle about whether pursuing a creative career after becoming a mother means you are doing too much. I share why wanting a meaningful career does not make you a bad parent—and how your ambition may become part of the legacy you create for your children.

What if becoming famous wasn't about luck, talent, or waiting to be discovered?

In this episode, I'm breaking down the exact mechanism behind why some people naturally attract opportunities, audiences, and success while others stay stuck—even when they're just as talented. After spending eight years studying psychology, nervous system regulation, Hollywood, and personal transformation, I've distilled what I learned into the two-step Fame Formula that helps you become magnetic from the inside out.

This is the episode I wish I'd had three years ago — back when I was sitting at home wondering if it was even okay to want what I wanted.

I'm packing for Cannes right now. I'm hosting a TV show at the festival next week. And I'm recording this without my hair and makeup done, because I want you to see what being a celebrity actually looks like — not the version you've been sold.In this episode, I'm answering every question I get asked about how this work actually works. The ones people DM me. The ones people are too polite to ask. All of it.

We cover:— Why wanting fame is not vain, selfish, or cringe (and why you can stop apologizing for it)— The real reason your content isn't converting — and why no posting strategy is going to fix it— The fame vs. celebrity vs. Celebrity Energy distinction, and the Marilyn Monroe story that cracked it open for me— Your Energetic Thermostat — and why you self-sabotage every time things start working— My three trips to Cannes, and the very different relationship I had to the festival each time— The exact objections that come up before someone joins my world — and the truth underneath each one— The three ways you can work with me, and how to figure out which room is yours.

Whether you're brand new here or you've been circling my offers for a while, this is the conversation that answers it.

This week’s episode is a little more personal. I’m recording from bed in the middle of a big five-day event, deep in Cannes prep, brand deals, visibility expansion, and all the emotions that come with stepping into a bigger version of myself.

In this episode, I talk about a moment that cracked something open for me: asking for an opportunity I wanted and getting the response, “I thought you’d never ask.” That moment became such a mirror for how often we delay, hesitate, or hold ourselves back not because the opportunity isn’t available, but because we’re still waiting for permission.

I also share the deeper lesson I’ve been moving through lately around power, self-concept, and what it really means to stop waiting to be chosen. I talk about the difference between a deadline and a timer, why so many creatives live under the weight of old timelines that only create shame, and how a real deadline can become a loving boundary that creates momentum, clarity, and movement.

We also get into the “river of misery” that tends to show up the second you decide to expand, the identity work required to keep betting on yourself before there’s evidence, and why becoming the person who can hold your desires matters just as much as having the desires in the first place.

If you’ve been getting 95% of the way there and then stopping short, this episode is for you.
