What if the reason you feel stuck creatively… isn’t because you don’t know what to do? Maybe it’s not that you don’t know what to say, maybe you’re just not letting yourself say it. In this episode, I’m talking with award winning podcast producer, storyteller, and author, Rich Boerner, about what it takes to step out from behind the scenes and actually share your voice. Because for years, Rich helped shape other people’s stories… while keeping his own in the background. Until life pushed him to face a question so many of us avoid:  What am I here to say? We get into:-Why we hold ourselves back from expressing what’s really true-The fear of being seen, judged, or misunderstood-How to start sharing your voice before you feel ready-Why your most personal story might be the one you’re meant to tell-And how small, brave steps can completely change the direction of your life Rich also shares the story behind his book Not So Only Child (the tale of a family secret that came out and changed his whole life story and reality)… and how finally telling it opened up a whole new chapter for him. If you’ve been feeling stuck, blocked, or like you’re not fully expressing yourself… this conversation is for you.  Because it's very likely that you’re not stuck, you’re just not saying the thing yet.

Have you ever noticed… the more you try to force something, the less it actually works? The more you push, control, overthink… the more stuck you feel? Same here, cutie!  In this solo episode, I’m sharing something I’m actively working through in real time as I step into full-time entrepreneurship… how to stop forcing everything and start trusting that things can actually work out. Because lately, I’ve felt myself gripping. Trying to make things happen right now. Trying to control outcomes. And all it’s been doing is burning me out and blocking the very things I want. So today, I’m talking about the shift I’m making from forcing → faith, while still taking real, intentional action. We get into: -Why forcing energy actually pushes life away-The difference between effort and desperation-How fear and past patterns keep us stuck in control-The daily practices helping me stay grounded (and not spiral)-How to focus on what’s real instead of future-tripping worst case scenarios If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, burnt out, or like you’re trying so hard and it’s still not clicking… this is for you.

Have you ever realized… you might be the one making everything harder than it needs to be? In this episode, the tables are turned. I’m the one being interviewed by nervous system expert and returning guest  Nahid de Belgeonne and what came out of this conversation was very refreshing, so I wanted to share it with you!  We talk about stress, burnout, codependency, and the moment I realized I was taking on everyone else’s “emergencies” as my own. I share what happened when my body forced me to slow down (in a very real way), and how I’ve started to finally calm my nervous system instead of living in overwhelm. We also get into: Why high achievers struggle to metabolize stress The “second arrow of suffering” and how we make things worse than they are How to stop absorbing other people’s energy and emotions My new morning routine for regulating my nervous system Pregnancy, ambition, and learning to actually take care of myself What it really looks like to step into a new chapter of your life (for me entrepreneurship and Motherhood) This conversation is honest, grounding, and deeply human. If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or like life has been heavier than it needs to be… this one is for you.

Have you ever had a moment where everything you thought was “working” suddenly wasn’t… and you had to figure out who you were again? In this episode, I’m talking with Emmy Award-winning producer, speaker, and writer Teri Weinberg, former EVP of NBC Entertainment, Founder of Yellow Brick Road Productions, and one of the creative forces behind The Office, Ugly Betty, and The Tudors. But what stayed with me most from this conversation isn’t just what Teri has built… it’s how many times she’s been willing to begin again. We talk about what it really looks like to reinvent yourself at any age, how to advocate for what you’re worth, and how to stop holding yourself back in rooms where you know you’re meant to be. Teri shares honestly about getting fired, navigating power in Hollywood, and learning to trust herself even when the path in front of her completely changed. We also get into creative leadership, confidence, and why life doesn’t actually get smaller as we get older… it expands, if we let it. And one of my favorite parts of this conversation is hearing how she’s stepping into a whole new chapter in her sixties through writing, speaking, and mentoring the next generation. If you’ve been feeling stuck, questioning your timing, or wondering if it’s too late to go after what you really want, this one is for you. In this episode, we cover: -How to reinvent yourself at any age -What it takes to stop holding yourself back -Advocating for your worth in high-stakes rooms -Lessons from producing The Office and leading at NBC + the secret behind the show’s magic! -Navigating career setbacks and starting over -Why your next chapter can be your most expansive one yet  Check it out!

Have you been sitting on something you know you’re meant to share… and still not putting it out? Yeah. Me too. This episode is a real, unfiltered look inside my creative life right now and into my literal diary. I share what I’ve been thinking about, what I’ve been struggling with, and the biggest shift that’s changing everything for me: Choosing expression over perfection. And impressions.  Because the truth is, most of us are not stuck because we are not talented enough. We are stuck because we are overthinking, comparing, waiting for the right moment, or trying to get everything perfect before we begin. In this episode, I share why I’m finally releasing music I’ve been sitting on for years, when it’s coming out,  what my journaling practice is teaching me about creativity and anxiety, and how I’m learning to stop holding myself back and actually follow through on what matters. Learn:  -How to stop holding back your creativity and actually share your work  -Why choosing expression over perfection can change your creative life  -What to do when you feel overwhelmed, anxious, or creatively stuck  -How to stop comparing and trust your own creative path  -Why you do not need the “perfect moment” to begin If you’ve been waiting for a sign to release the thing, start the project, or put yourself out there, this is it. And if this episode resonates, it would mean so much if you shared it, left a rating and review, or sent me a message. I read everything and it really does keep me going. Now go make the thing! I believe in you!  🎙️ Connect & Work with Me:If you love this episode and want personalized support to break through creative blocks, build confidence, and finally share your work with the world, I’d love to help.

Have you ever known sending one email could change your life… and still didn’t hit send? Yeah. Same. If you’re a creative who’s been waiting to be chosen or secretly hoping someone will just discover you, this episode is your loving nudge to stop waiting and start creating your own opportunities. To say YES to yourself and open the door to your dreams! I’m talking with Carly Valancy, founder of Reach Out Party, who completely changed her life by doing one simple, very brave thing: Reaching out.After committing to sending one email a day for 100 days, she went from struggling artist to booking major opportunities, working at Lincoln Center, and even performing on Broadway. Now she teaches creatives how to do the same. We get into the fear, the overthinking, the “I don’t want to bother them” spiral, and how to move through it in a way that actually feels aligned with your creativity and sensitivity. Near the end of the interview, she said something about what to write in your outreach that FREED me and I know it will do the same for you! Reaching out isn’t just a career move, if you let it, it can actually be a creative act. And it might just be what changes everything. You'll Learn: -How to email anyone, even if you’re scared to hit send-A simple way to write emails that feel like you and actually get responses-How to stop feeling cringy about it and start building real connection-Why rejection is part of the creative process, not a reason to play small (and how to actually romanticize it!)

Have you ever felt creatively blocked and had no idea why? Lately, I found myself stuck on a project I knew I wanted to complete… and instead of forcing myself to push through it, I decided to ask a different question: Why am I actually blocked? In this solo episode, I share the breakthrough I had when I finally stopped beating myself up about procrastinating and started getting curious about what was really going on underneath the surface. What I discovered completely changed the way I think about creative blocks. Instead of seeing them as failures or signs that something is wrong, I started to realize they can actually be signals pointing us toward something important. In this episode, I walk you through the six most common reasons creatives get blocked and how asking yourself the right questions can help you move forward with more clarity, compassion, and momentum. If you’ve been putting off a creative project, feeling stuck, or wondering why something that matters so much to you suddenly feels hard to start, this episode is for you. In this episode, you’ll learn: • Why creative blocks are often signals rather than failures• The six hidden reasons creatives get stuck• How past experiences can quietly create resistance to new projects• The difference between burnout and a creative block• The one question that can help you get unstuck 🎙️ Connect & Work with Me:If you love this episode and want personalized support to break through creative blocks, build confidence, and finally share your work with the world, I’d love to help.

In this episode, I welcome back Julia Cameron, author of The Artist’s Way, for our sixth conversation on Unleash Your Inner Creative. We talk about the enduring power of Morning Pages, how to silence the inner critic, and what creativity needs now in the age of AI. Julia’s work has helped millions of people reconnect with their creativity and art, and in this conversation we go deeper into the tools that actually sustain a creative life. We talk about why Morning Pages remain one of the most powerful practices for creativity, how to work with your inner critic (Julia calls hers “Nigel”), and why play is essential for creative breakthroughs. We also explore creativity during uncertain times, writing through fear and self-doubt, and how creativity evolves through major life transitions. Along the way, I share some personal news: that I’m pregnant and expecting my first child… and Julia offers beautiful wisdom about Motherhood and creativity. If you’ve ever struggled with creative blocks or wondered how to stay creative through ALL of life, you’ll find Julia’s perspective is both grounding and inspiring. In this episode we discuss: • The real purpose of Morning Pages • How to silence your inner critic • Why creativity thrives through play and curiosity • Julia Cameron’s thoughts on AI and creativity • Writing through fear and self-doubt• Creativity and motherhood• The importance of “believing mirrors” Check out ALL of Julia’s art and writing: https://juliacameronlive.com/  🎙️ Connect & Work with Me:If you love this episode and want personalized support to break through creative blocks, build confidence, and finally share your work with the world, I’d love to help.

This is one of the most personal episodes I’ve ever recorded. I have an announcement...I’m pregnant. That's right, cutie! We're having a baby! And in this episode, I’m sharing what this moment means not just in my life, but in my identity as a creative. For years, I’ve talked about creativity as something we make. The art. The ideas. The projects. But this season is inviting me to rethink everything I thought I knew about purpose, growth, and what it really means to create something meaningful. This feels like the greatest creative project of my life so far, and I wanted to share it with you honestly and in real time. In this episode, I talk about:-The greatest lesson I’ve learned so far  -The difference between preparation and pre-suffering  -The creative expansion that motherhood can bring  -The Power of letting yourself evolve in public -PLUS: the full story of how I found out I was pregnant  Thank you for being here with me.

How do you know when it’s time to reinvent yourself creatively? And once you do, how do you remember that through it all, who you are in the best thing about you?  This episode was recorded while podcast host and producer, Zak Rosen and I walked around Belle Isle in Detroit talking about creative reinvention, identity, and what it really means to build a life around your values. You’ll hear the wind moving through the trees and the ice crunching beneath our feet and sheer creative vulnerability as Zak discusses how he knew it was finally time to shift a long-term project.  Zak is the host of the beloved indie podcast Weirdly Hepful and a longtime creative whose path has included multiple reinventions, pivots, and personal awakenings. Together, we explore the emotional side of creativity that rarely gets talked about, especially the danger of tying your self-worth to what you make. We talk about: -Why separating your identity from your work is essential for long-term creative health-The freedom that comes from redefining success on your own terms-Creative reinvention and how to let yourself evolve -What it means to build a creative life instead of chasing external validation Listen to Zak's Pod: https://weirdlyhelpful.show/ 🎙️ Connect & Work with Me:If you love this episode and want personalized support to break through creative blocks, build confidence, and finally share your work with the world, I’d love to help.

Are you constantly funding your own creative projects and ending up depleted, disappointed, or broke? In this minisode, I share one of the most powerful lessons I ever learned while coaching a multimillionaire: rich people do not spend their own money to launch new projects. They find sponsors, investors, patrons, and partners. So why are artists and indie creators doing the opposite? In this episode, we talk about: - Why self-funding your art can create resentment and burnout-How to stop being your own investor-Where to look for funding including sponsors, grants, corporations, nonprofits, and angel investors-Why artists used to have patrons and why that model still works-How to adopt an abundance mindset without going into debt If you’ve ever drained your savings for your art, this episode is your wake-up call. You deserve funding. You deserve support. And you do not have to go broke to create. 🎙️ Connect & Work with Me:If you love this episode and want personalized support to break through creative blocks, build confidence, and finally share your work with the world, I’d love to help.

What if the story we’ve been telling artists is wrong? What if you don’t actually have to choose between financial stability and the thing you love most? In this episode, I sit down with actor turned entrepreneur Sarah Kleist to talk about the toxic myth of the “starving artist” and why performers are uniquely equipped to build creative businesses that support their art instead of competing with it. Sarah is a musical theater performer living in New York City who also runs a thriving web design and branding business for creatives. She shares how she built financial stability without walking away from her artistic identity and why being multi-passionate is not a weakness, but a strategic advantage. We talk about: -Why the “if you can do anything else, do that instead” advice is harmful-The powerful skills actors and performers already have that businesses are desperate for-How to rewrite your money story as a creative-Why financial stability can make you a better artist, not a worse one-Practical ways to start thinking about what your own creative business could be If you’ve ever felt like you were failing because you want both meaning and money, this conversation will feel like a deep exhale. You don’t have to choose. You can build a life that holds both. 🎙️ Connect & Work with Me:If you love this episode and want personalized support to break through creative blocks, build confidence, and finally share your work with the world, I’d love to help.

I tried to record a normal episode today. I couldn’t. I sat down to talk about creativity like I usually do, and instead I found myself overwhelmed, heartbroken, and honestly… empty. In this episode, I share what it feels like to be a creative person living in America right now when the news feels unbearable, when your emotions are so full they leave you feeling blank, and when you’re wondering: What is even worth creating at a time like this?How are we supposed to go about daily life? This is a raw, unscripted reflection on creative paralysis, collective grief, human rights, and the cruelty happening around us, including the actions of ICE and the fear, harm, and devastation our communities are experiencing. I talk about: -Small ways to stay creative and human when you feel helpless-Creative burnout from current events and how to move through it -How to alchemize pain into purpose-The role of artists, makers, and storytellers during hard times -Why this moment is not a political issue, but rather, a human rights issue If you’ve been feeling distracted, heavy, unable to focus, or wondering how to keep making things when your heart is breaking, this episode is for you.

What if the way you learned to love, connect, and succeed wasn’t actually you, but survival strategies you picked up as a kid? In this episode of Unleash Your Inner Creative, I sit down with Beá Victoria Albina, somatic experiencing practitioner and author of Emotional Outsourcing, to explore how people pleasing, perfectionism, and emotional over-responsibility quietly block creativity, self-trust, and authentic expression. We talk about what emotional outsourcing really is, how it develops in childhood, and how it shows up in our relationships, work, decision-making, and creative lives. We also explore how healing your nervous system and attachment wounds can help you reconnect with your voice and come home to yourself. This conversation is especially vulnerable for me. Bea even guides me through a live somatic practice to help release shame, and as you listen, I hope you can do the same.  In this episode, you’ll learn: -What emotional outsourcing is and why it develops-How people pleasing and perfectionism disconnect you from creativity-Why shame keeps you stuck and how to work with it-Somatic tools to rebuild self-trust and self-expression If you’ve ever abandoned yourself in order to be “good,” “enough,” or lovable, this episode will help you return to a more empowered, creative version of yourself. 🎙️ Connect & Work with Me:If you love this episode and want personalized support to break through creative blocks, build confidence, and finally share your work with the world, I’d love to help.

Do you have big goals for 2026 but aren’t sure where to start or how to actually follow through? In this solo episode of Unleash Your Inner Creative, I’m sharing practical and emotional strategies for goal setting in 2026, especially if you want to go after your dreams in a way that feels doable and sustainable. This isn’t about hustling harder or burning yourself out. It’s about getting honest about what’s been holding you back, aligning your daily actions with what you truly want, and breaking big goals into smaller steps you can realistically follow through on. I walk you through how to assess past goals, identify where you have more control than you think, and create a clear action plan that supports your dreams. I also share what I call microdosing courage, taking small steps that build momentum, confidence, and self-trust over time. We also touch on the emotional side of goal setting, including worthiness, limiting beliefs, asking for help, and healing creative wounds that can quietly block progress. You’ll Learn:  -How to honestly assess the goals you didn’t reach last year and why-A simple way to check if your daily actions truly align with the goals you say matter most-How to microdose courage when approaching a big or scary task -Why stair-stepping goals works better than all-or-nothing thinking when fear shows up (and how it builds self-trust) -How worthiness, creative wounds, and asking for help impact your ability to follow through If you’re setting New Year’s goals for 2026 and want goal-setting advice that supports your creativity, emotions, and real life, this episode will help you move forward with compassion, clarity, self-love and momentum.
