  • What Social Media Doesn’t Show: Inside a Creative Entrepreneur’s Day

    In this episode of Running with Scissors, we take you behind the scenes of what it really looks like to run a creative business. From chaotic Mondays to our small (but powerful) daily habits, we’re lifting the curtain on the things people don’t post.

     

    We talk:

    • Our typical daily routines — and what’s far from routine

    • The unglamorous stuff: admin, burnout, and behind-the-scenes chaos

    • Tools, systems & habits that actually keep us productive

    • How we deal with slumps, slow days, and staying sane

       

      If you’ve ever looked at someone’s creative journey and thought, “How do they do it all?” — this one’s for you. Because spoiler: we don’t. Not without a little mess, a lot of coffee, and some trial-and-error systems.

    • Building in Public: The Magic of Letting People Witness Your Becoming

      We’ve been taught to stay quiet until it’s perfect. To wait until we’ve "made it" before we show up. But what if the real power lies in being seen before you're ready?

       

      In this bold and honest episode of Running with Scissors, we challenge the idea that you have to be polished to be valuable. Instead, we explore the radical idea of building in public—of letting people witness your growth, your doubts, your evolution.

       

      Here’s what we dive into:

      - Why perfection kills connection—and how sharing the process builds trust

      - How your vulnerability gives others permission to begin

      - The way community forms when people see you rise in real time

      - What it really means to show up authentically (without oversharing)

       

      This episode is your reminder that you are already enough—even mid-mess, mid-doubt, mid-journey. You don’t have to be finished to be powerful.

       

      ✨ Let them witness your becoming.

    • Why No One Knows What They're Doing — and How That Helps You

      Everyone looks like they’ve got it all figured out—flawless careers, perfect routines, aesthetic posts. But here’s the truth we all need to hear:

      No one actually knows what they’re doing.

      In this episode, we’re breaking down the myth of “having it all together” and why embracing the unknown might just be your greatest power.

      We talk about:

      • Why even the most “successful” people are just winging it

      • How uncertainty fuels creativity and innovation

      • The trap of waiting until you're “ready”

      • Why real confidence comes from doing, not knowing

      • How to reframe not knowing as freedom, not failure

        ✨ You’re not behind. You’re just in the middle of becoming.

        • Winging It With Intention — You Don’t Need a 5 Year Plan

          In this episode, we’re calling BS on the pressure to have it all figured out. We talk about the beauty of figuring it out as you go—with intention, of course. Because winging it doesn’t mean you’re lost… it means you’re paying attention. 👀✨

        • Things we wish we knew

          Starting something new—whether it’s launching a business, switching careers, or choosing the road less travelled—comes with excitement, vision, and hope. But behind every bold move are moments of doubt, fear, and unexpected challenges no one really prepares you for.

          In this episode, we sit down to unpack the things we wish we knew before we began. The hard truths. The silent struggles. The stuff that doesn’t make it to the highlight reel. We talk about:

          • Why no one warns you how hard it will actually feel

          • The mental health dip that comes with leaving stability

          • How lonely and misunderstood the journey can be

          • Learning to ride the emotional rollercoaster of slow seasons and burnout

          • Why passion isn’t enough—and what actually keeps you going

            Whether you’re just starting out or deep in the middle of figuring it all out, this episode is your reminder that you’re not alone—and you’re not doing it wrong. Building something real is messy. But it’s also brave. And it’s worth it.

          • Starting Over Is a Flex, Not a Failure

            We've been told that starting over means we failed. LOL, no.

            In this episode of Running with Scissors, we’re flipping the script on “quitting” and sharing why starting over is actually hot girl behavior (aka aligned, powerful, and a total flex).

            From ditching jobs and leaving relationships to reinventing yourself completely—we’re getting real about what it reallymeans to choose again, this time with more wisdom.

            ✨ Why we fear starting over

            ✨ Why success is never a straight line
            ✨ The power of trusting your pivots
            ✨ What we’ve learned by walking away

            If you're in a season of doubt, burnout, or “WTF am I doing?”—this one’s for you.
