  1. 💸🎭 Money & Art: What If You Didn’t Have to Choose? w/ Sarah Kleist

    💸🎭 Money & Art: What If You Didn’t Have to Choose? w/ Sarah Kleist

    What if the story we’ve been telling artists is wrong? What if you don’t actually have to choose between financial stability and the thing you love most? In this episode, I sit down with actor turned entrepreneur Sarah Kleist to talk about the toxic myth of the “starving artist” and why performers are uniquely equipped to build creative businesses that support their art instead of competing with it. Sarah is a musical theater performer living in New York City who also runs a thriving web design and branding business for creatives. She shares how she built financial stability without walking away from her artistic identity and why being multi-passionate is not a weakness, but a strategic advantage. We talk about: -Why the “if you can do anything else, do that instead” advice is harmful-The powerful skills actors and performers already have that businesses are desperate for-How to rewrite your money story as a creative-Why financial stability can make you a better artist, not a worse one-Practical ways to start thinking about what your own creative business could be If you’ve ever felt like you were failing because you want both meaning and money, this conversation will feel like a deep exhale. You don’t have to choose. You can build a life that holds both. 🎙️ Connect & Work with Me:If you love this episode and want personalized support to break through creative blocks, build confidence, and finally share your work with the world, I’d love to help.

  2. 🇺🇸Creating Through This American Moment

    🇺🇸Creating Through This American Moment

    I tried to record a normal episode today. I couldn’t. I sat down to talk about creativity like I usually do, and instead I found myself overwhelmed, heartbroken, and honestly… empty. In this episode, I share what it feels like to be a creative person living in America right now when the news feels unbearable, when your emotions are so full they leave you feeling blank, and when you’re wondering: What is even worth creating at a time like this?How are we supposed to go about daily life? This is a raw, unscripted reflection on creative paralysis, collective grief, human rights, and the cruelty happening around us, including the actions of ICE and the fear, harm, and devastation our communities are experiencing. I talk about: -Small ways to stay creative and human when you feel helpless-Creative burnout from current events and how to move through it -How to alchemize pain into purpose-The role of artists, makers, and storytellers during hard times -Why this moment is not a political issue, but rather, a human rights issue If you’ve been feeling distracted, heavy, unable to focus, or wondering how to keep making things when your heart is breaking, this episode is for you. I love you. I’m with you. 🎙️ Connect & Work with Me:If you love this episode and want personalized support to break through creative blocks, build confidence, and finally share your work with the world, I’d love to help.

    Emotional Outsourcing: How Childhood Survival Patterns Blocks Creativity & How to Heal w/ Beatriz Victoria Albina

    What if the way you learned to love, connect, and succeed wasn’t actually you, but survival strategies you picked up as a kid? In this episode of Unleash Your Inner Creative, I sit down with Beá Victoria Albina, somatic experiencing practitioner and author of Emotional Outsourcing, to explore how people pleasing, perfectionism, and emotional over-responsibility quietly block creativity, self-trust, and authentic expression. We talk about what emotional outsourcing really is, how it develops in childhood, and how it shows up in our relationships, work, decision-making, and creative lives. We also explore how healing your nervous system and attachment wounds can help you reconnect with your voice and come home to yourself. This conversation is especially vulnerable for me. Bea even guides me through a live somatic practice to help release shame, and as you listen, I hope you can do the same.  In this episode, you’ll learn: -What emotional outsourcing is and why it develops-How people pleasing and perfectionism disconnect you from creativity-Why shame keeps you stuck and how to work with it-Somatic tools to rebuild self-trust and self-expression If you’ve ever abandoned yourself in order to be “good,” “enough,” or lovable, this episode will help you return to a more empowered, creative version of yourself. 🎙️ Connect & Work with Me:If you love this episode and want personalized support to break through creative blocks, build confidence, and finally share your work with the world, I’d love to help.

    🥅✨How to Set Goals That Actually Stick in 2026: See Your Creativity Grow this year!

    Do you have big goals for 2026 but aren’t sure where to start or how to actually follow through? In this solo episode of Unleash Your Inner Creative, I’m sharing practical and emotional strategies for goal setting in 2026, especially if you want to go after your dreams in a way that feels doable and sustainable. This isn’t about hustling harder or burning yourself out. It’s about getting honest about what’s been holding you back, aligning your daily actions with what you truly want, and breaking big goals into smaller steps you can realistically follow through on. I walk you through how to assess past goals, identify where you have more control than you think, and create a clear action plan that supports your dreams. I also share what I call microdosing courage, taking small steps that build momentum, confidence, and self-trust over time. We also touch on the emotional side of goal setting, including worthiness, limiting beliefs, asking for help, and healing creative wounds that can quietly block progress. You’ll Learn:  -How to honestly assess the goals you didn’t reach last year and why-A simple way to check if your daily actions truly align with the goals you say matter most-How to microdose courage when approaching a big or scary task -Why stair-stepping goals works better than all-or-nothing thinking when fear shows up (and how it builds self-trust) -How worthiness, creative wounds, and asking for help impact your ability to follow through If you’re setting New Year’s goals for 2026 and want goal-setting advice that supports your creativity, emotions, and real life, this episode will help you move forward with compassion, clarity, self-love and momentum.

    🎅🏽My Parents on the Pod! Our Annual Christmas Show: Family Chaos, Love & Holiday Stories

    Every year, I sit down with my parents to record our annual Christmas podcast. What started as a holiday tradition has become one of my favorite conversations of the year. This episode is funny, emotional, honest, and full of the kinds of family stories that only come out around the holidays. In this special Christmas episode of Unleash Your Inner Creative, my parents join me in the studio to reflect on family, marriage, childhood memories, and the moments that shape us long after the holidays end. We laugh, cringe, reminisce, and share stories that reveal why family dynamics are rarely perfect, but can still be deeply meaningful and beautiful. In this episode, you’ll hear:-A shocking story from my parents’ early marriage that still makes us laugh decades later-The tragic yet oddly hilarious story of Tim’s saddest childhood Christmas-My mom’s extremely confident and very incorrect retelling of Will Ferrell’s Elf-A heartfelt recap of our wedding and what it taught us about love, family, and showing up for one another-Why messy family dynamics can still be healing, connective, and full of love Whether you’re celebrating with family, missing loved ones, or navigating complicated relationships this holiday season, this episode is a reminder that connection does not have to be perfect to be powerful and it’s just also just a really fun Listen!
