my knees are great but have you seen my feet?? i lost a toenail and i have bunions. i’m not a horoscope girl unless we are talking about how amazing pisces are. "your 20s" as a brand has one of the best publicists ever. discomfort is usually a sign you’re setting a boundary. it only goes up from here, i promise.

mel walker is a multi-hyphenate creative with her finger on the pulse of what really matters to brands: the story they're telling and the world they're inviting you into. she creates some of the most eye-catching social content for your favorite brands - including rhode, kylie cosmetics, fenty beauty, salt & stone, aritzia & nike, summer fridays, dior beauty, and more. there’s something so innately “her” about her videos - which she says is exactly the goal - that you always know when it’s a mel video. we talk about what it’s like to work with your partner, throwing sh*t at the wall until something sticks, the rise of ai and how it can negatively impact creativity, and why being original will always take you farther than being the best.

I have a bone to pick with technology this week. what do you mean i lost all of my files & my phone is on SOS??? you’re one “yes” away from your dream life. perfectionism is out - breaking character is in. being bad at things will show you where you need to delegate. change never gets less scary but its usually the best thing to ever happen. did I just plan the most unhinged dinner party? obviously snoop dogg would be there…someones gotta bring the w**d. life’s a joke - take a sunset walk and back up your files!!!

the pressure of a new year’s resolution is lowkey stressful. but obvi i made one lol. no one talks about what it feels like when you actually achieve your dream. like why is it weirdly empty sometimes? i’m figuring out whether to choose peace or violence this year (too late, I went with violence). i forced myself to be bored and it actually felt good. we’re so focused on the finish line that we forget to live in the middle. maybe the real work is learning how to slow down long enough to actually feel proud of yourself. in the wise words of my girl Miley Cyrus, it’s not about what’s on the other side, It's the damn climb baby.
