Eat From My Art is the space for creatives who know they’re sitting on something powerful...and are finally done playing humble about it. Hosted by Kala Riggins, this show is part confession and part “get your life together, God is calling you” energy. It’s the raw, real, unfiltered journey of a woman who’s decided she’s not waiting for permission, clarity, or the perfect moment anymore. Here, we talk about the ideas that won’t leave you alone, the divine nudges you keep ignoring, the creative seasons that feel like chaos, and the boldness it takes to build a life from your art even when you’re scared, broke, confused, or all of the above. This is not hustle culture. This is creative obedience with a little attitude and audacity. If you’ve ever looked at your life and thought, “Okay…I’m talented, I’m called, I’m chosen...but where do I even start?” Baby, start here. Come for the honesty. Stay for the breakthroughs. Leave with the audacity to take your creativity seriously.

    i’m trying to talk myself out of it again

    In this episode, I’m talking through a feeling I keep circling back to: trying to begin again… and wanting to talk myself out of it at the same time. After weeks of planning, praying, and mapping out what’s next, I’m sitting with the quieter questions: Do I actually have the capacity to execute right now?Can I commit to work that doesn’t promise a reward?And what happens when the vision is clear, but the body feels tired? This is an honest, real-time reflection on creative depression, execution anxiety, and the emotional weight that comes with trying again after burnout. I don’t have a solution here — just clarity, self-awareness, and a willingness to stay present with the process. If you’ve ever felt aligned but exhausted, inspired but stuck, or confident in the vision but unsure how to move forward without burning yourself out, this conversation is for you. This is where I’m at right now. Join Me on Substack

    Do I Really Hate Social Media… or Do I Just Hate Feeling Like I’m Losing?

    An honest talk about visibility, comparison, and why showing up online feels so complicated. In today’s episode, I’m unpacking a question I’ve been wrestling with for a while now: Do I actually hate social media… or do I hate the version of myself I become when I’m not getting the results I want? In this episode, I talk through: Why social media feels more like a performance than a creative spaceThe difference between creating art and presenting artThe burnout that comes from forcing yourself into formats that don’t fitHow comparison works both ways — destructive and inspirationalThe real fear behind “I don’t feel like posting”Why visibility has become an unhealthy measure of successWhat Issa Rae’s comment about not feeling successful woke up in meWhy I keep wrestling with wanting results I don’t even fully defineHow to redefine “results” in a way that actually honors your creativityThe tug-of-war between authenticity and algorithm alignmentWhy depth is my love language — and why that makes social feel complicatedThe reminder that God can’t reward the version of me I pretend to be online 🌱 Join the Eat From My Art community If this episode hit home — if it challenged you, resonated with you, or gave language to something you’ve been silently feeling — come join the EFMA community.
