    Love Your Strengths: Ikigai and Doing What You’re Built For

    Season 2, Episode 1/The Love Series We often focus on fixing our weaknesses instead of building on what already comes naturally. In this episode, I dig into the idea of Ikigai and how understanding your strengths can bring more clarity, confidence and ease to your creative life.  This conversation looks at skills versus strengths, why we sometimes overlook what we're good at and how identifying our creative sweet spot can reduce comparison and burnout.  If you're craving direction without pressure, I invite you to listen in and see yourself and your work more clearly.

    Is it Too Late? The Truth About The Agelessness of Creativity

    Season 1, Episode 9 It is easy to look at early success stories and feel behind or discouraged. But creativity does not belong to any single age or season. In this episode of "Your Next Chapter," I explore the idea that the timing of your creative life matters less than the depth you bring to it. We talk about why comparison steals joy, how life experience can strengthen creative work and why starting later can actually be an advantage. This episode is an invitation to release timelines and trust that you are creating at the right pace, in the right chapter.

    Who Gets a Say When You’re Creating?

    Season 1, Episode 8  When you're in the process of creating, feedback may come whether you want it or not.  In this episode of "Your Next Chapter," I talk about how to decide who should have a voice in your creative process and who should not. We explore the difference between helpful critique and unhelpful noise, how ego can show up on both sides of feedback and why knowing your vision matters before inviting opinions. This episode is for anyone navigating advice from well-meaning friends and family and the vulnerability that comes with sharing work that is still in progress.

    Pay Yourself First

    Season 1, Episode 7  What would change if you treated your goals, health and creativity as non-negotiable? In this episode, I talk about what it really means to pay yourself first, both literally and figuratively. We explore how consistency shapes progress, why keeping commitments to yourself matters and how small daily actions around money, time, movement and creative work compound over time. If you want to see a big change in your life, listen in for insights into making space for the life you want to live, one intentional choice at a time.

    What if You Didn't Start With Resolutions?

    Season 1, Episode 6 What if the new year did not require a full reset or a list of rigid resolutions? In this episode of "Your Next Chapter," I explore a gentler approach to growth that focuses on intention, awareness, and small, meaningful shifts rather than drastic change. We talk about why traditional resolutions often fail, how to set yourself up for sustainable progress, and what it looks like to aspire without pressure. This episode is an invitation to move into 2026 thoughtfully, with clarity and self-trust.

    Let's Actually Celebrate the Journey

    Season 1, Episode 5 In this episode, we talk about what it really means to celebrate the journey, not just the visible success at the end. The truth is that most of our creative lives happen beneath the surface. The drafts, the doubt, the discipline, the tiny wins, the hidden work, the messy middle. The parts no one sees. Today, we explore how to honor the quiet progress you make every day and why the unseen effort matters. If you're in a chapter where you're doing the work but not seeing the results yet, this episode will help you feel seen, encouraged and supported. It is time to celebrate the part of your story that is still unfolding.

    Why Your Next Chapter Might be a Pause

    Season 1, Episode 4 In this episode, we talk about the chapters in life that look quiet from the outside but are deeply important on the inside. Sometimes our next chapter is not a burst of momentum. Sometimes, it's a pause, a breath, or a season of stillness that protects our creativity and well-being.  If you're in a slower or more reflective chapter right now, this episode will help you feel grounded, validated and at peace with where you are. Rest is not falling behind. Rest is part of the story.  Listen in for a gentler way to think about growth and why scaled-back seasons matter more than we realize.
