#22 Abandoning Your Art & Power for Romantic Validation

In this episode, I’m discussing the ultimate creative saboteur: the soul-crushing quest for romantic validation. Inspired by a viral TikTok and a dream I had, I’m diving deep into how women have been culturally programmed to trade their paintbrushes, pens, and power for the slim chance of being "chosen" by someone who wouldn't think twice about sacrificing their own dreams. Forget the tired narrative of waiting to be saved – this is about saving yourself, one creative act at a time. We'll shatter the illusion that your worth is determined by your relationship status and reveal the radical truth: your art, your vision, and your voice are the real superpowers. So join me as we explore limerence, patriarchal mind games, and why your unwritten novel, unfinished painting, or unrealized dream is worth more than any mediocre relationship.

To roster or not to roster, that is the question. In today’s episode, I was in silly, goofy mood and decided to discuss my experience with dating multiple people over the summer.
