The revolution will be televised

How I'm restoring my creativity

Do you ever feel like your creativity has flatlined? Like you’re stuck in the same routine, or your inner critic won’t let you try anything new unless it’s “good” right away? In this week’s episode, I’m sharing the playful, soul-nourishing, and sometimes messy ways I’ve been restoring my creativity. This all started from a little IG story I posted, and the response was so strong that I knew I had to expand it into a full conversation. I can't wait to hear what you think and what this episode sparks in you!

WTF I've been up to and WTF is next

After months away from the mic, I’m back, and a LOT has shifted. In this episode, I spill the tea (literally, over a Fruit Loop London Fog) about navigating the messy in-between of timelines, finding peace, and landing a job that feels wildly aligned. If you’ve ever felt torn between sticking it out or walking away, this conversation will give you the honesty, perspective, and encouragement you need. Follow me on Instagram!

Fiction is that girl, let me tell you why

In this episode, I’m diving deep into how reading more fiction has been an absolute game-changer for me. I also spill on how I thought I was banned from the library, how fiction can be simply superior to a 10-step manual, and the books I devoured this month—including the one that had me bawling and reconsidering every other book I’ve ever rated.
