Vlog

​Watch fresh insights every week: on creativity, mindset, self-doubt, and real conversations that matter. New videos are added automatically from my YouTube channel.

Here, we talk about what actually matters: from the messy realities of being human to the unexpected ways we think, create, and live. Some videos will challenge how you see yourself, some will make you laugh, and some might just make you rethink everything.

Watch the latest below. Fresh perspectives, every week.

YouTube’s weird: it won’t always show you new videos unless you hit subscribe & turn on the 🔔. Just saying…

This fear keeps you stuck and is stopping you from creating

This fear keeps you stuck and is stopping you from creating

There’s a fear that keeps so many creatives stuck, without even realizing it. You plan, you second-guess, you wait for the right moment… but what if the real problem isn’t time, talent, or discipline? What if it’s your brain running an old program that’s keeping you from actually creating? This is what keeps so many creatives stuck, not because they lack talent or discipline, but because their brain is tricking them into staying in the loop. 🌀 In this video, we’re talking about: ✔ The Sunk Cost Fallacy: why we stay stuck in things that no longer serve us. ✔ Why the fear of wasting time is the biggest creative trap (and how to escape it). ✔ The myth of creative productivity: why creativity doesn't work like a factory. ✔ What the most successful artists really do behind the scenes (hint: it’s not what you think). By the end of this, you’ll start seeing "wasted time" differently, and maybe even on purpose.

The Problem with Inspiration (That Nobody Warns You About)

The Problem with Inspiration (That Nobody Warns You About)

Creativity isn’t always this magical lightning strike...it’s messy, frustrating, and full of self-doubt. In this video, I'm talking about the weird, unpredictable nature of inspiration, why pressure can kill it, and how to navigate the creative process without losing your mind. I’ll also share a personal story from when I was a professional artist, dealing with gallery expectations, money pressures, and the constant battle between making what I loved and making what sold. And because creativity works differently for everyone, I’ve got something for you: take the Muse Persona Quiz to see how your creative brain ticks and what might actually help when you feel stuck.

Being Seen Is Scary: The Creative's Dilemma & Imposter Syndrome

Being Seen Is Scary: The Creative's Dilemma & Imposter Syndrome

Being seen can be so scary and it leads to a lot of internal chatter. But here’s the thing: as exciting as being seen is, it’s also... terrifying. For us creatives, there’s a unique tug-of-war: the craving to be noticed and the safety of staying invisible. In this video, I explore why visibility feels so vulnerable, why imposter syndrome hits the high achievers hardest, and the paradox of the creative’s dilemma, being seen versus staying unseen. Drawing from my experience working with uber-successful clients (yes, even they feel it) and a bit of science, I’ll show you why that little voice isn’t proof you don’t belong. It’s proof that you care and a push into action. 🔹 Why our brains freak out when we’re seen 🔹 The hidden challenges of being a creative 🔹 Imposter syndrome: what it really means and how to make peace with it 🔹 Why the people you admire struggle just like you So if you’ve ever wrestled with visibility, self-doubt, or the creative’s paradox, this one’s for you. Let’s talk about it, and keep the conversation going in the comments below. 💬 Let’s keep the conversation going, drop a comment below: Do you relate to the fear of being seen? How do you navigate imposter syndrome? ✨ Learn more about my work and join upcoming service: The Muse: A transformative, art-based monthly membership.
