My very first guest episode is here! I sit down with my beautiful friend Mohammed—funny, creative, charismatic, and one of those people who makes any space brighter. Together we dive into our creative outlets, the struggles and joy of learning, and what it looks like to keep growing as artists and as people.

This one is more raw, collaborative, and storytelling-driven than my solo episodes—you’ll hear us laugh, reflect, and even uncover things we didn’t know about each other. Mohammed brings his own perspective as a dancer, actor, and artist, adding new layers to the themes of Muse: personal growth, creativity, and self-expression.

And yes, by the end we’re already plotting a possible monthly series—“Moody Mondays with Mohammed.” 👀

In today’s quick solo episode, I check in on the week, set an intention, and dive into a question we all wrestle with: how do we actually find alignment in our lives?

I also share why my guest episode with my friend Mohammed isn’t dropping just yet—I wanted to give our long, thoughtful chat the time it deserves in editing. So for now, it’s just you and me.

We grow up thinking clarity will just arrive with age—but the truth is, the older we get, the harder it can feel to figure out what we really want. The blocks get louder, the paths get blurrier.

But alignment? It’s not something you stumble into—it’s something you return to.
✨ The hopeful, younger version of you who believed things would work out
✨ The joy and curiosity that still lights you up, even now
✨ The permission to follow what feels fun—even if the path isn’t fully clear

Alignment shifts as we shift. It can be found in work, family, projects, or the small everyday sparks that make life worth showing up for.

This episode is your reminder that you can find it. You can trust yourself. And you can choose joy—at any age, in any season.

So the question is: what will you do to find alignment today?

Lately I’ve been feeling… off. Trying to figure out where the momentum I had to create went.

This episode is a raw reflection on that strange space—when you’re surrounded by ideas, content, inspiration… and still feel like you can't create.

I share how I’ve been sitting in that over-and-under-stimulated headspace, and the 3 shifts I’m making to reset my creative system:

1. Cutting back on short-form content

2. Immersing myself in long-form: YouTube, books, movies, articles

3. Creating a digital garden to hold what I’m learning and what moves me

   
   

If you’ve been feeling foggy, distracted, or numb to your own spark, you’re not alone. This is a recalibration. A soft revolt against noise. A way back to real creative clarity.

Sometimes the best episodes aren’t the ones you planned—they’re the ones that arrive in the moment, unpolished but true. In this episode, I share why podcasting has become my personal outlet, not a performance.

I talk about stepping away from the pressure of algorithms, slow growth, and what happens when you create for yourself first. Because when you stop chasing trends and start following the spark, you find the real joy in making—whether it reaches five people today or five thousand five years from now.

If you’ve ever felt stuck creating for the “shoulds,” this is your reminder: your voice matters most when it’s yours.

In this first episode of August, we’re talking about something that feels… real. That weird in-between space where your creative energy feels quiet, unclear, or flat-out missing.

Finding Your Spark (When You Feel in Limbo) is a reflection on what it means to honor slower seasons and still trust that your creativity hasn’t left you—it’s just shifting shape.

I share a bit about where I’m at creatively, what I’ve learned about letting sparks lead without needing a big outcome, and why softness, curiosity, and small flickers still count.

✨ Plus! Bratty Book Club officially kicks off this week—our first Substack post drops Thursday, August 7th. So if you're into books, personal chaos, and unfiltered opinions, come hang out there too.

🎧 Episode topics include:

- Creative limbo and seasonal energy shifts
- How to feel creative without “producing” anything
- Permission to rest, feel lost, and still be an artist
- Soft ways to find your next spark

💌 Muse drops every Monday.

This summer has felt different.

I’m not pushing as hard. I’m not moving as fast.
And instead of fighting that, I’m learning to trust the season I’m in.

In this episode, we explore how to navigate creative resistance when it’s actually a signal—not a stop sign. I share how I’m redefining purpose, letting go of hustle guilt, and finding clarity through rest, reflection, and intentional slowness.

We talk about:
– What it means to create slowly
– How to tell if it’s rest or resistance
– Why purpose isn’t always tied to productivity
– Daily practices to reconnect with your creative spark

If you’ve been feeling off, this might be the reminder you needed:
You’re still a creative—even when you’re moving slow.

What if self-trust wasn’t a feeling... but a series of tiny recalibrations that reshape who you are?

In this episode, I’m taking you deep into my own story—how I slowly learned to trust myself, not just in theory, but in real-life decisions that shaped who I am. From being the eldest daughter trying to please everyone, to choosing to leave home at 17, to building a new creative identity rooted in alignment and truth—this one’s personal.

We’re also talking Psycho-Cybernetics and the power of self-image:

“Change the self-image and you change the personality and behavior.” – Maxwell Maltz

Because how you see yourself shapes every boundary, every risk, every possibility. Let’s break that wide open together.

🎧 In this episode:
– My real-life stages of self-trust (the messy, the brave, and the rebuilding)
– Why self-image runs deeper than mindset
– How your inner voice shapes your outer reality
– The moment I realized I could make mistakes and still trust myself
– Simple, powerful ways to start building trust in yourself right now

Hello hola hola… welcome back to Muse—where creativity and personal growth merge.

This week, I’m talking about how presence and perspective have been my lifelines after getting laid off last month. It’s been shaking up how I see myself, my work, and my future—and helping me redefine what matters most as an artist.

I’m sharing:

✨ The personal pillars I’ve never shared publicly before—the compass guiding how I live and create
✨ How presence helps me stay connected to my truth (instead of getting lost in “what’s next?”)
✨ How perspective helps me reframe challenges into possibility and creativity
✨ Practical tools and questions to help you ground yourself and your creative work, even when life feels messy

Presence and perspective aren’t just life tools—they’re creative tools that keep us moving, exploring, and expressing ourselves authentically.

Thanks for tuning in, and I’d love to hear: What helps you stay grounded when life shifts?

Keep creating!

This episode, I’m getting raw about how losing my job has made me question everything: why I create, what my work means, and what purpose looks like when life changes overnight.

I’m sharing 8 ways I’m finding and redefining purpose, even in chaos:

Purpose isn’t one big aha moment—it’s the tiny choices we make every day.
