The Modern Frida

Kid Cudi Once Said "It’s Easier to Just Do"

In this episode, I'm joined with multidisciplinary artist Ashley Trabue to talk about the gap between ideas and action—and why so many creatives get stuck living in their heads.

Inspired by a quote from Kid Cudi, we dive into what it really means to stop imagining and start creating. From overthinking music videos to navigating perfectionism, social media pressure, and creative identity, this is an open conversation about choosing messy action over waiting for the “perfect” moment.

We also explore:

  •  Why your ideas don’t need to be perfect to be shared 
  •  How taking action actually creates clarity 
  •  The pressure of social media—and how to move past it 
  •  Letting go of perfection and embracing imperfect art 
  •  Why creativity grows the more you use it 

If you’ve been sitting on ideas, overthinking your next move, or waiting until everything feels “ready”—this episode is your reminder to just start.❤️

“Don’t just listen—text me! Even a quick ‘hey, this spoke to me’ counts. I love hearing from you, and I actually read everything you send.”
