Episode Blurb
In this episode, we talk about what it really takes to create differently in a culture obsessed with trends. I share my honest thoughts on why trends are fun but also why they can quietly pull you away from your own ideas if you are not careful. We explore how to find your voice again, how to trust your instincts, and how to create from a place that feels original instead of reactive. If you have ever felt pressured to keep up or felt like your creativity was getting lost in the noise, this conversation will help you come back to yourself. Tune in for a refreshing reminder that your best work starts when you choose to think and create on your own terms.

Episode 2: Are You an Overachiever or Are You on Autopilot?

I’ve always been the overachiever..The one who did everything “right.” I followed the rules, built the career, and did what generations before us said would guarantee success. But lately, I’ve been asking myself… what was the point? Somewhere along the way, all that drive turned into autopilot, and I lost touch with why I started doing any of it in the first place.

In this episode, I’m sharing what it’s looked like to unlearn the idea that productivity equals worth, and what I’ve discovered about slowing down, finding joy in simply creating, and freeing myself from the need to be understood. It’s about taking accountability without carrying shame, and learning that presence is more powerful than perfection ever was.

✨ In this episode, I talk about:

• The pressure to perform and how it becomes identity

• Why doing everything “right” can still leave you feeling lost

• Taking ownership of your story without letting it define you

• Letting go of the need to be understood by everyone

• What happens when you finally stop running on autopilot

After taking a step back, I realized I lost the plot. Not just in podcasting, but in the way I was showing up creatively. I tried to make Intersections more about business and branding, but that was never why I started this. This episode is a reset. It’s me coming back to the heart of storytelling, reconnecting with the purpose behind this space, and remembering that creativity isn’t just about what you do. It’s about how you live.

In this episode, I’m sharing where I’ve been, what I’ve learned, and how I’m rebuilding Intersections into the creative studio and community I always imagined it could be. If you’ve ever felt like you’ve drifted away from your “why,” this one’s for you.

✨ Listen in for:

• A real talk about losing direction and finding clarity

• The shift from productivity to presence

• How creativity shows up in everyday life

• A few reminders for anyone rewriting their story

EGO: This is a topic I’ve never openly touched on. We’re diving into it! Where does it come from? The purpose it serves, good ego, bad ego, and everything I’ve learned from my own journey as a person and a creator. I think when tapped into in the right ways, ego is vital to building the life we want.

In this episode, I share personal stories and talk about reframing failure. By shifting our perspective, we can embrace failure as an opportunity for growth and innovation, ultimately leading to a more resilient and fulfilling journey. It's easier said than done, BUT IT'S POSSIBLE. <3
