    From Sundance to Self-Expression: Art, Authenticity & The LA Time Capsule with Sebastian Cail

    Hey future celeb — it’s Whitney! In this episode, I’m joined by my dear friend and creative powerhouse, Sebastian Cail — a singer, songwriter, and filmmaker fresh off of our Sundance run. We sat down to unpack all things art, evolution, and what it really means to stay grounded when you’re living a thousand lifetimes in Los Angeles. We talk about: ✨ Why the creative timeline feels like “LA years” (aka living ten lives in one) ✨ How Sundance cracked open new layers of identity and artistic purpose ✨ The spiritual weirdness of success — and learning to celebrate your own expansion ✨ Utah food hot takes (yes, we get into Swig, Café Rio, and sugar cookies) ✨ What it means to build a career that’s both sacred and self-directed This conversation is raw, real, and so full of creative wisdom. Whether you’re an artist navigating your next chapter or just craving permission to evolve, this one’s for you. 🎧 Tune in, tag us, and tell us your favorite takeaway — we love hearing from you!

    Grammys, Chaos & Celebrity Energy with Alex Stewart

    This week, I’m joined by our HTBF team favorite and returning guest Alex Stewart (@mmentality_) for a conversation that was supposed to be a Grammys recap... and kind of turned into a full behind-the-scenes of what it really means to be seen. The episode is equal parts chaotic and honest — my power went out, we ended up recording at the gym, and it somehow became the perfect metaphor for showbiz. Alex and I talk about: ✨ The real reason people struggle with visibility ✨ Why perfectionism blocks your natural magnetism ✨ How to hold your energy when things don’t go as planned ✨ And why sometimes the most “unpolished” moments end up being the most powerful It’s a fun, messy, and really human conversation about showing up anyway — even when the lights go out (literally).

    Playing Yourself: Fame, Film, and Finding Authenticity with Michelle Lang

    This week, I sat down with the incredible Michelle Lang—a powerhouse producer, actor, and creator whose work has featured stars like Orlando Bloom and Octavia Spencer—to talk about what it really means to be seen in Hollywood and online. We dove deep into one of my favorite topics: identity as performance. Are we ever not playing a character? And how do we show up authentically while also being intentional about the story we’re telling through our art, content, and careers? Michelle and I geeked out on the intersection of film and content creation, how the industry is shifting faster than ever, and what it looks like to reclaim our worth as artists without waiting for permission. We also got raw about the fears that come up when you start to expand—the self-sabotage, the “who am I to do this?” moments, and how to navigate the tension between vulnerability and authority as your visibility grows. If you’ve ever wondered how to merge your artistry, your business, and your personal evolution into one magnetic, aligned identity—this episode will absolutely light you up. 💫 We talk about: Why authenticity is a strategy, not a liability How to build creative freedom outside of Hollywood’s rules Playing “characters” that are actually higher versions of yourself The mindset shifts that turn artists into self-made celebrities Connect with us: ✨ Whitney Uland – @whitneyuland 🎥 Michelle Lang – @themichellelang Learn more about your ad choices.

    What If Fame Isn’t Meant to Make You Happy?

    This week on How to Be Famous, I’m getting real about one of the biggest misconceptions in the creator world — that fame, success, or “making it” will finally make you happy. Spoiler alert: it won’t. In this episode, I share what I’ve learned (the hard way) about redefining why we chase visibility in the first place — and how to rewire your nervous system to feel safe being seen. We talk about: The Double Slit Experiment and how it mirrors the way creators collapse their own potential when they feel watched. The “fight, flight, freeze, or fawn” responses that show up when you’re stepping into new levels of visibility. How to stay in your creative flow when your brain wants to shut down. Why your home, your art, and your identity are all reflections of one another. The truth about why happiness can’t be your goal — and what to focus on instead. This episode is a must-listen if you’ve ever thought: “What if I’m not special?” or “What if I never make it?” I’ll help you reconnect to the part of you that’s already a creator — the version that makes art even when no one’s watching. Because fame isn’t the reward… becoming who you’re meant to be is. 💫 Takeaways: You don’t need external validation to legitimize your art. Visibility is just an invitation to regulate your nervous system at the next level. The real “celebrity energy” is creating because you love it — not because it’ll finally make you feel enough. 🩵 Connect with Me: Instagram: @whitneyuland TikTok: @whitneyuland Work with me: howtobefamous.co Learn more about your ad choices.

    When “Too Much” Becomes Your Superpower: Healing the Fear of Being Seen (with Jacqui Grilli)

    This week on How to Be Famous, I’m joined by my friend and classmate, Jacqui Grilli, for a raw, hilarious, and healing conversation about what it really means to feel safe being seen. Jacqui shares her “villain origin story” — from being the girl who sings to losing her literal and metaphorical voice — and how she’s learning to reclaim it through self-compassion, nervous system work, and Celebrity Energy. Together, we explore: ✨ What happens when your body “keeps score” of creative rejection ✨ How to reframe being too much as your magnetic advantage ✨ The difference between confidence and safety (and why one can’t exist without the other) ✨ How to turn on your Celebrity Energy intentionally — even when imposter syndrome hits hard If you’ve ever felt like you had to dim your light to be accepted, this episode will help you remember: your too-muchness is your superpower. Because when you feel safe in your own spotlight, that’s when everything starts to align. 🎧 Listen wherever you get your podcasts. 💙 Connect with me on Instagram @whitneyuland and TikTok @whitneyuland. ✨ Follow our guest Jacqui Grilli on Instagram @jgrillz. 💫 Ready to activate your own Celebrity Energy?

    Throwback Episode: My Abundant Artist Coaching Days + A New Year’s Reset

    This week’s episode is a little different — it’s a throwback from my Abundant Artist Coaching days, back when I was still finding my voice and building the foundation for everything that’s now become How to Be Famous. I originally recorded this around New Year’s 2021, and listening back honestly made me emotional. You can hear how much I’ve grown, but also how much of what I teach now — the identity work, the mindset shifts, the idea that fame is just energy — was already starting to come through. I wanted to share it with you because sometimes we forget how powerful our past selves were. Every version of you has been part of the story that’s leading you exactly where you’re meant to go. And if you’re setting intentions or doing your own reflection for the new year, I’d love for you to check out the New Year’s Hypnosis + Ritual that Maddie Webb and I created — it’s designed to help you release what’s no longer serving you and step fully into your next chapter.
