This week on How to Be Famous, I’m getting real about one of the biggest misconceptions in the creator world — that fame, success, or “making it” will finally make you happy.

Spoiler alert: it won’t.

In this episode, I share what I’ve learned (the hard way) about redefining why we chase visibility in the first place — and how to rewire your nervous system to feel safe being seen. We talk about:

The Double Slit Experiment and how it mirrors the way creators collapse their own potential when they feel watched.

The “fight, flight, freeze, or fawn” responses that show up when you’re stepping into new levels of visibility.

How to stay in your creative flow when your brain wants to shut down.

Why your home, your art, and your identity are all reflections of one another.

The truth about why happiness can’t be your goal — and what to focus on instead.

This episode is a must-listen if you’ve ever thought: “What if I’m not special?” or “What if I never make it?”

I’ll help you reconnect to the part of you that’s already a creator — the version that makes art even when no one’s watching. Because fame isn’t the reward… becoming who you’re meant to be is.

💫 Takeaways:

You don’t need external validation to legitimize your art.

Visibility is just an invitation to regulate your nervous system at the next level.

The real “celebrity energy” is creating because you love it — not because it’ll finally make you feel enough.

This week on How to Be Famous, I’m joined by my friend and classmate, Jacqui Grilli, for a raw, hilarious, and healing conversation about what it really means to feel safe being seen.

Jacqui shares her “villain origin story” — from being the girl who sings to losing her literal and metaphorical voice — and how she’s learning to reclaim it through self-compassion, nervous system work, and Celebrity Energy.

Together, we explore:

If you’ve ever felt like you had to dim your light to be accepted, this episode will help you remember: your too-muchness is your superpower.

Because when you feel safe in your own spotlight, that’s when everything starts to align.

Hey, future celeb — happy freaking new year! In this episode, I’m answering your questions and sharing some real talk about what this season of rest, recalibration, and re-alignment has looked like for me.

I’ll be honest: I’ve been realizing how much I was still operating from survival energy — constantly doing, pushing, creating, but not receiving. And that’s something so many creatives, entrepreneurs, and artists struggle with. So today, I’m walking you through how I’ve been rewiring my nervous system to feel safe being seen again, and what it really means to embody your Celebrity Energy from a place of trust instead of fear.

I’m also sharing an exciting update about the next round of my How to Be Famous Mastermind — my highest-level coaching experience for artists, influencers, and entrepreneurs who are ready to collapse timelines and step into the most magnetic version of themselves.

If you’re ready to stop waiting to be discovered and start being undeniable, this round is going to be so good.

And for those of you who’ve been wanting something more accessible, I’m also giving a sneak peek at my brand new membership, The Celebrity Circle, where you’ll get monthly meditations, hypnosis, and behind-the-scenes access to the “gatekeeper calls” from The Self-Made Celebrity.

This episode is for anyone who’s ready to stop shrinking, stop overthinking, and finally trust that your big vision is meant for you — right now.

How to tell if you’re operating from survival energy (and what to do instead)

My process for regulating your nervous system so fame actually feels saf

This week’s episode is a little different — it’s a throwback from my Abundant Artist Coaching days, back when I was still finding my voice and building the foundation for everything that’s now become How to Be Famous.

I originally recorded this around New Year’s 2021, and listening back honestly made me emotional. You can hear how much I’ve grown, but also how much of what I teach now — the identity work, the mindset shifts, the idea that fame is just energy — was already starting to come through.

I wanted to share it with you because sometimes we forget how powerful our past selves were. Every version of you has been part of the story that’s leading you exactly where you’re meant to go.

And if you’re setting intentions or doing your own reflection for the new year, I’d love for you to check out the New Year’s Hypnosis + Ritual that Maddie Webb and I created — it’s designed to help you release what’s no longer serving you and step fully into your next chapter.

Thanks for being here with me — and for continuing to grow with me.
