What does it take to stay connected to the creative part of yourself that just wants to play? In this episode, I sit down with comedian and all-around dynamo Mimi Von Shack, who embodies what it means to stay open, responsive, and full of mischief—while still sharpening her creative voice with intention and craft.

Mimi shares how she honors the instinctual joy of her younger self, while holding space for the more seasoned, self-aware creative she’s become.

This conversation is an ode to the part of you that still wants to experiment, get it wrong, make people laugh, and maybe surprise yourself in the process.

In this episode we explore:

How the inner child survives in creative adulthood

The link between improvisation, self-trust, and bravery

What it means to share your creative instincts and let the response shape you

How creative identity evolves when you stop trying to control it
