Is ChatGPT a tool or a crutch? A shortcut or a spark? In this episode, I sit down to unpack the cultural unease around AI—why we’re embarrassed to use it, what it says about creativity today, and whether relying on ChatGPT is cheating or just the new way of thinking.

Why does using a robot to write feel shameful, even when it helps us say what we mean more clearly? Is the fear of AI really about the tech—or is it about what it reveals about us?

If you’ve ever used ChatGPT and felt guilty, curious, or quietly impressed, this one’s for you.

Debunking the timeline pressure. Turning 29 has me reflecting on all the unspoken (and very spoken) pressures of where we’re supposed to be by now. The career milestones, relationship expectations, financial goals—who made these rules, and why do we feel like failures if we don’t hit them "on time"? In this episode, we’re breaking down the illusion of a universal timeline, the comparison trap of social media, and why moving at your own pace is the ultimate power move. If you've ever felt behind in life, this one’s for you. Let’s redefine success on our own terms. xoxo, Lexie

Who’s Really Shaping Our Taste? 

YouTube’s new “Inspiration” feature is making content creation feel more like an assembly line than an art form. It tells you what’s trending, suggests video ideas, and even generates titles and thumbnails. But if everyone is making content based on what the algorithm wants, are we really choosing what we like—or are we just being fed what’s most profitable?

In this episode, I dive into the influence of algorithms on creativity, why truly original ideas struggle to gain traction, and how we can break free from the cycle of chasing trends. Are we shaping our own taste, or are we just part of the machine? Let’s talk about it.
