This podcast dives into the unfiltered grind of chasing a dream in acting and the creative world. Instead of polished stories from those who’ve already ‘made it,’ you’ll hear the raw, funny, and heartfelt perspective of guests and myself still in the hustle — pushing, learning, and carving out a place in the film industry. It’s about navigating the struggle in real time. If you’re a creative chasing your dreams, this is your space to feel seen.

    Seen Before Heard | Creative Struggles | S2 Ep. 13

    In this episode, I'm joined once again by returning guest and fellow actor Chris, for an honest conversation about appearance on camera, confidence, and self-image. We talk about watching ourselves back, navigating comparison, dealing with industry expectations, and learning how to focus on the work instead of our perceived flaws. If you’ve ever been your own toughest critic, this episode is for you. #appearance #looks #flaws #beauty #oncamera #actors #actress #aspiringactors #film #movies #maincharacter #leadrole #believe #trustyourself #supportingcast #casting #castingdirector #directors #filmmaker #setlife #acting #actorlife #struggleisreal #create #creative #entrepreneur #justdoit #makeithappen #dontgiveup #yougotthis #creativejourney #keepgoing #creativestruggles  Guest:  Christopher Riviere  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cfriviere?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ== Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@chris.riviere?_r=1&_t=ZP-97TORwAZrsk If you would like to share any stories, questions, topics, encouraging words, etc., send an email to cr8tivestruggles@outlook.com and I will share them on the next episode!   You can find the video version of this episode on Youtube at Creative Struggles   Please follow, like, subscribe, comment, leave review, share and send an email!   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cr8tivestruggles/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61581997290521 Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@Cr8tivestruggles Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@nahjalae?_t=8ifoX1PN8P5&_r=1 I also have my own earring business, Nahjalae’s Polymer Earrings, that I handcraft!

    The Cost of Moving Away | Creative Struggles | S2 Ep. 11

    In this episode of Creative Struggles, I sit down with an actor who made the bold decision to leave her hometown and move to a new state for a better opportunity at achieving her goals and aspirations. We talk about what that leap really looks like - the loneliness, the fear, rebuilding from scratch, and the moments of doubt that come with starting over in a new city. Because moving for your career sounds exciting... until you're actually living it. Was it worth it? And how do you keep going when nothing feels certain? #moving #newbeginings #freshstart #newstart #newcity #newstate #newhome #actors #actress #aspiringactors #film #movies #maincharacter #leadrole #supportingcast #casting #castingdirector #directors #filmmaker #setlife #acting #actorlife #struggleisreal #create #creative #entrepreneur #justdoit #makeithappen #dontgiveup #yougotthis #creativejourney #keepgoing #creativestruggles   Guest:  Paige   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pxigexrnold?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==     If you would like to share any stories, questions, topics, encouraging words, etc., send an email to cr8tivestruggles@outlook.com and I will share them on the next episode!   You can find the video version of this episode on Youtube at Creative Struggles   Please follow, like, subscribe, comment, leave review, share and send an email!   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cr8tivestruggles/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61581997290521 Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@Cr8tivestruggles Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@nahjalae?_t=8ifoX1PN8P5&_r=1   I also have my own earring business, Nahjalae’s Polymer Earrings, that I handcraft!
