About Creator by Design

Welcome to Creator by Design - a space for creators and entrepreneurs who want to stop chasing trends and start creating with purpose. I’m Hallee Smith — a creativity coach, content strategist, and someone who’s seen both the highs of internet fame and the emptiness that can follow. Each episode blends personal stories, creative strategies, and hard-won lessons to help you find clarity, confidence, and inspiration. If you’re ready to step out of autopilot and build a life and body of work that truly reflect who you are, you’re in the right place. *Previously, The Passion Project*

Who are you as a creator? What do you want to say? Why should anyone listen? In today’s episode, I break down the three core pillars every creator must master to build confidence, stay consistent, and actually turn content creation into a career: YOU, your AUDIENCE, and your BUSINESS. You’ll learn how to uncover your creative identity, stop letting self-doubt drive your content, understand what your audience truly wants, and finally see how creators turn their skill set into income and freedom. Whether you’re just starting or you’ve been posting for years, this is the clarity you need.

Because of that, I’m seeing the acting world from both the inside and the outside and I think there is a massive opportunity most people are missing.If you’re an actor, performer, or creative who feels stuck, this episode is going to make you see your opportunities in a completely new light.

I’ve spent five years as a full-time creator and I’ve learned the hard way that most of us try to market something that doesn’t fully exist yet.In this episode, I talk about the in-between and the messy overlap where social media blurs the line between creating and promoting. I’ll share how I got lost in that space, what finally clicked for me, and why clarity in your creation always has to come before growth. Whether you’re an artist, coach, freelancer, or creative entrepreneur, this is the mindset shift that will help you stop spinning your wheels online and start building something that actually feels aligned. 👉 American Baron from the Example: https://www.instagram.com/americanbaron/

In this episode, I’m sharing the mindset + simple tools that helped me stop chasing external validation and start creating from a steadier place. (Yes, even after 1.8M followers, the inside doesn’t magically fix itself—ask me how I know.) What we get into: * Why “believe in yourself” isn’t helpful… until you make it practical * How to stop letting metrics, flops, and “no’s” derail you * Five tools for steady self-belief (without turning joy into homework) * The one-line mantra that changed my year—and how to choose yours If you’re an over-thinker (hi, same), this one’s going to feel like a deep breath.

Authenticity Has Lost Its Meaning (But do we even know what it REALLY means?)

In this episode, I’m unpacking why the word authenticity has lost its meaning and how performative “realness” online has turned something genuine into a trend. From my own journey of going viral and losing touch with who I was, to the deeper question of how do we actually know ourselves, this is a conversation about finding your truth beyond the mask.If you’ve ever felt pressure to “just be yourself” but didn’t even know what that meant, this episode will help you redefine authenticity on your own terms.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
