  • 15. I Recorded a Podcast Every Day for 7 Days—Here’s What I Learned

    After a long break, I decided to rip off the perfectionism Band-Aid and record one podcast episode every day for seven days...no scripts, no edits, just pure creative expression. In this episode, I reflect on what the 7 Day One Take MESSTERPIECE challenge taught me about resistance, consistency, and reclaiming my creative identity. If you’ve been waiting for the “right moment” to start, this episode is your sign. Start messy. Stay messy. That’s Big Artist Energy.

  • 14. Be a Good Girl or Be an Artist? Why Playing by the Rules Is Killing Your Creativity

    If you’ve ever felt the pressure to get it right, be perfect, or play by someone else’s rules—this episode is for you. On Day 6 of the One Take Masterpiece Challenge, I talk about how "good girl conditioning" keeps artists small, and why you need to stop trying to fit into someone else's box and start creating your own. We’ll talk about big artist energy, defying creative gravity, and how to dance with the shadows instead of running towards the light. It’s time to make a mess and call it a messterpiece.
