In this episode, weāre talking about the reality of being new in your creative business and why feeling behind doesnāt mean youāre not good enough.
Iām also sharing a personal story from my first ever client project (spoiler: I had no idea what I was doing) and why feeling discomfort might be the one thing that gets you where you want to go.
This is your permission slip to start before you feel 100% ready because literally everyone does.

Thereās a lot of advice floating around for designers and creative business ownersā¦ but what if itās not actually helping you?
In this episode, Iām breaking down some of the most popular business advice Iāve seen online and why it didnāt really work for me (and what Iāve chosen to do instead)
This isnāt about bashing advice or pretending to have the ārightā way, it's about sharing real experiences in a space that often feels like it's all about doing what everyone else is doing.
If youāve been trying to follow the rules but still feel stuckā¦ this one's for you.

This week's confession: "I think i've spent hundreds of $ on courses and learning stuff and taken lots of free courses but I feel like I'm not getting anywhere. "
If youāve ever felt like youāre one course away from finally figuring it all out, youāre not alone. So many designers fall into the trap of thinking thereās a secret they just havenāt learned yetābut thatās not how it works.
In this episode, weāre talking about:
- Why designers keep searching for the "missing piece"
- How marketing makes you think you need more to succeed
- Why taking actionānot just consuming more informationāis what actually moves you forwardReady to share your story, opinions or those questions you feel like you canāt ask? ā ā Submit it hereā ā

In this episode, Iām talking about the unrealistic (and honestly kinda hurtful) expectations around clients, why trust is earned not owed, and why being a good designer doesnāt mean rejecting every client who has an opinion.

Figuring out what to share on social media is hard. Do you just post your work and keep it professional? Or do you sprinkle in a little personal stuff so people actually get to know you? Itās tricky to know where the line is, and letās not even get started on the fear of oversharing or posting something irrelevant.
