This week, we're recording on location and standing at the edge of a major life transition. After months of planning, dreaming, and building in the background, I'm making a choice that removes some of my exit doors and commits me more fully to the creative life I'm trying to build. It's exciting. It's terrifying. And it feels a lot less glamorous than I imagined. We talk about...

This week is a messy one. A short video unexpectedly takes off. The project starts showing real signs of life. A promising new crush enters the picture. A big transition is on the horizon. By all appearances, things are moving in the right direction. So why do I feel terrible? In this episode, I unpack a week of anxiety, self-sabotage, missed goals, strange media rabbit holes, unexpected eating di...

This week, I finally explain what this project actually is. We talk about: rebuilding after a public career collapse the “dream job” that turned into golden handcuffs entrepreneurship, ambition, and being told to play small why posting online felt genuinely terrifying the four-month creative stall before I started creator fear, social media growth, and short-form strategy the 3-month sprint I’m us...

This week, we’re talking about visibility grief, loneliness during reinvention, creator burnout culture, internet gatekeeping, and what happens when your project starts feeling real . After seven weeks of posting, the numbers are finally moving: shorts are gaining traction, the YouTube channel crossed 5,000 views, and for the first time, I genuinely believe this might work. But success doesn’t fee...

ie: how to become impossible to ignore. Six weeks ago, I was completely paralyzed by fear. Now? I've gone from zero to over 1K monthly viewers. My channel is growing, strangers are finding my work, opportunities are appearing out of nowhere, and for the first time in a long time, building my dream life actually feels… good. In this episode, we talk about: why “going around the mountain” is oft...

this is what no one tells you about “just start before you’re ready.” it’s not giving fearless. it’s giving: avoidance spiraling pushing things to tomorrow (again) and lowkey feeling like your life might implode if you actually follow through this bonus episode is a real-time voice note from the edge of doing the thing — before it’s posted, before the confidence kicks in, while the fear is still l...

What if hitting $100K in a year wasn’t a fantasy… but a system? In this episode, I’m breaking down the exact strategy I’m using to go from zero audience, zero momentum, and zero revenue to a $100K+ online business in 12 months — in real time. This is not a “get rich quick” fantasy. It’s a raw, behind-the-scenes look at what it actually takes to build something from nothing: the numbers the platfor...

honestly… not the update i thought i’d be giving this week. this was supposed to be a “numbers episode” — timelines, growth, what’s actually possible with this project. and we do get there. but first, we need to talk about what happens when the people closest to you… don’t really believe in what you’re building. or worse — they think you’re just “having fun” while your life quietly falls apart. th...

This week, everything cracked open a little. I accidentally fell into one of the most inspiring moments in recent history (Artemis II, duh!) (hi, moon mission 😭), I cried about it for 24 hours, and somehow ended up rethinking everything I thought I knew about productivity, creativity, and what it actually means to build a life that feels good. In this episode we get into identity, mindset, and wh...

What actually happens when you finally go for the thing you’ve been avoiding for years? This week, everything changed. I went from “aspiring creative” to actually putting my work out into the world — filming, editing, and publishing my first real video. And… it was not the dreamy, confident glow-up moment I thought it would be. It was anxiety. Procrastination. A near panic attack while filming.24...

In this podcast, I'm documenting what it actually looks like to start and build a creative business from zero - in real time. No hindsight, no polished revisions. Just the process, exactly as it happens. In this episode, I'm talking through where I'm starti...
