In this episode, we’re talking about the reality of being new in your creative business and why feeling behind doesn’t mean you’re not good enough.
I’m 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.

There’s a lot of advice floating around for designers and creative business owners… but what if it’s not actually helping you?
In this episode, I’m breaking down some of the most popular business advice I’ve seen online and why it didn’t really work for me (and what I’ve chosen to do instead)
This isn’t about bashing advice or pretending to have the “right” 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 you’ve been trying to follow the rules but still feel stuck… 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 you’ve ever felt like you’re one course away from finally figuring it all out, you’re not alone. So many designers fall into the trap of thinking there’s a secret they just haven’t learned yet—but that’s not how it works.
In this episode, we’re talking about:
- Why designers keep searching for the "missing piece"
- How marketing makes you think you need more to succeed
- Why taking action—not just consuming more information—is what actually moves you forwardReady to share your story, opinions or those questions you feel like you can’t ask? Submit it here

In this episode, I’m talking about the unrealistic (and honestly kinda hurtful) expectations around clients, why trust is earned not owed, and why being a good designer doesn’t 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? It’s tricky to know where the line is, and let’s not even get started on the fear of oversharing or posting something irrelevant.
