In this solo rant, Liz shares a raw “survival guide for the deeply emotional” — touching on burnout, hopelessness, free will maxing, and what it actually means to have grace with yourself as a creative. She talks about social media, mortality, using what you have to make art (yes, including grout and papier-mâché lamps), and reads her poem “Fallen Tree.” This one’s for the creatives who feel everything, deeply.

Trigger warning: mentions of hopelessness and suicidal thoughts (non-graphic), as well as mental health struggles.

What We Talk About

• Survival guide for the deeply emotional

  • Why this episode started as a goalless, flow-state rant
  • Being honest about burnout and how hard creating can feel
  • Why this podcast will always be meta and process-focused

• Burnout, discipline, and grace

  • Creating inspirational videos 4–7 times a week for a year
  • Why “I’m not disciplined” is often a lie we tell ourselves
  • Having grace with yourself through health scares, new jobs, and life admin
  • The idea that modern “maintenance of life” is just our version of gathering food for the tribe

• Social media, comparison, and self-protection

  • Unfollowing and muting people (even people you know) to protect your mental health
  • Letting your feed be a source of inspiration, not shame
  • Remembering you’re a being that needs constant nurturing beyond food, water, shelter

• Free will maxing & building a life you actually like

  • “We can do whatever the fuck we want” (within reason)
  • Sending the text, asking the question, saying what you actually mean
  • Dating, rejection, and why most dissatisfaction just means you have taste
  • Not being able to paint your rental walls and what that reveals about self-expression

• Using what you have: rogue creativity

  • Making art with whatever’s already in your space
  • The idea of a grout + papier-mâché lamp and why lamps can transform a room
  • Treating constraints as prompts instead of evidence you’re failing

• Hopelessness, hope, and staying

  • Why losing hope can be a necessary step to finding it again
  • Intellectualizing emotions: when it helps and when it doesn’t
  • Remembering that dark moments are often about the end of a specific outcome, not the end of you
  • Nourishment basics: food, rest, comfort, and self-tending when everything feels pointless
  • “If it keeps you here, do the thing”

• Poem: “Fallen Tree”

  • Identifying with a fallen tree whose roots are exposed
  • The death of greatness when the odds were in your favor
  • Letting go of hope as a paradoxical way to learn how to hope again

• “Do Not Skip” — Personal Work

• Kendall Baggerly – Content creator, photographer, and tiny home dweller based in the Northern Rivers, Australia.
  Originally from California, Kendall moved to Australia in 2017 and slowly realised her life was unfolding in a completely unexpected direction. After a few years in a stable marketing role in Sydney, she felt called to step away and pursue travel and creative work instead. What started as a planned year on the road circling Australia turned into five years of adventure—and a whole new understanding of what “home,” “work,” and a meaningful life could be.

• YouTube: Kendall & Glenn – tiny home build + travel and lifestyle content

Liz and Kendall get into:

• Quarter-life crisis & creative pivots

• Inner child, play, and everyday joy

• Body image, patriarchy, and being on camera

• Cycles, nervous systems, and self-trust

• Money, manifestation, and creative work

• Boundaries with brands & being a working creator

• Love, partnership, and co-creating a life

Kendall’s sticky-note advice:
When in doubt, take a deep breath, look inward, and ask: “Am I truly lit up by this?” You don’t have to change everything overnight—you can keep gently steering toward what feels alive.

In this solo rant, Liz dives into the philosophical question of who we are versus what we own or manage — the difference between “I” and “my.” Drawing from Brianna Wiest’s book 101 Essays That Will Change the Way You Think, Liz explores how our bodies, thoughts, and responsibilities are “my,” while something deeper and less tangible is “I.”

From there, she connects this idea to creativity, intuition, and authenticity, sharing how understanding her own “I” helped her move from a traditional, success-driven path into a more aligned creative life. Liz walks through her personal journey: growing up in a religious, traditional environment, choosing marine science over fashion, working in sailing and rigging, riding out the pandemic, moving through yoga teaching, design experiments, content creation, and ultimately co-founding Liakada and launching this podcast from Australia.

The episode is both a philosophical exploration and a life-story backdrop for why this podcast exists — and a call for listeners to honor their own path, pivots, and persistent inner voice.

Show Notes

Episode: S1E2 – The Parts of You That Aren’t “I” + How I Actually Got Here
Host: Liz Karamavros
Podcast: Tell Me More About That

• A reading and reflection on a passage from Brianna Wiest’s 101 Essays That Will Change the Way You Think about:
• How this distinction shows up in art and creativity:
• A journaling prompt:
• Intuition vs anxiety:
• Why tiny, intuitive decisions (like saying no to coffee) carry the same energetic weight as big life moves (like crossing the country)
• Liz’s personal story and context:

Liz invites you to:

• Try the “I / my” journaling exercise this week
• Notice where your I-needs (intuition, deeper purpose) and my-needs (body, survival, logistics) overlap and diverge
• Honor your own pivots without shaming where you came from
• Keep saying yes to what lights you up — even in small, daily choices

If you’re dealing with:

• Gut issues
• Hormone imbalances
• Autoimmunity
• Or just feeling off in your body

…and you’re not getting answers from the traditional medical system, Emma from Rooted Within works with you through functional lab testing, nutrition, and targeted support.

In this solo rant episode, Liz Karamavros explores the nuanced relationship between ambition, creativity, stagnation and apathy, especially through the lens of being neurodivergent and returning to her hometown. She shares how ambition can be both a supportive “pilot light” and a source of burnout, why creative energy needs space and softness, and how to recognize apathy as an urgent signal to pour back into yourself. The episode closes with a raw, personal poem.
