A podcast about what it’s like to trust the journey of building a creative business. Not because the foundation is always solid, but because it’s always forming while being built. Where there’s space for half-baked ideas, strong POVs, exploring perspectives, and celebrating wins. With past lessons, and her current season, host Ylani Estwick is the first to admit that building anything that lasts isn’t through a journey that’s always as expected. Grab a hot bevvy and tune in to an episode for genuine conversations about thoughts, ideas, and experiences from one creative entrepreneur to another.

    Your Online Presence: It needs you!

    This episode’s for the creative entrepreneur who wants to be seen! Not forced in the way we’ve collectively been maneuvering visibility, but the kind that we actually want to put energy towards. The kind that allows you to be yourself by simply going after what you want. Listen to how this shows up for Ylani in the era she’s in and what visibility is like as you’re building a digital presence.

    Your Communication: The Starting Point

    There’s a tension creative entrepreneurs know all too well. The tension between how you instinctually express yourself and what happens to it when you’re building a business. In this episode, you’ll hear why it’s important to lead with your version of expression and how to stop fighting it for what you’re building. Ylani shares her perspective, what’s the beginning for everything she shares, and how curiosity supports a lot of what you move through.

    Chipping Away: A Method

    The chipping away method originated over time. I've been personally using it for a while, and I'd like to share it with you! In this episode, you’ll hear all about it, how its cadence helps you trust your own, and a few examples of the exact steps I’ve taken using this method with an Instagram Reel, my editorial monthly report Tactile Room, and an offer. If you want to chat about how to use the chipping away method for your piece of content, send me a DM @ylaniestwick FROM THE EPISODE Instagram Reel of this week October 2025’s Tactile Room report Threads post about new offer MORE ABOUT TACTILE ROOM — THE MONTHLY EDITORIAL REPORT ‘History repeats itself’ essay August 2025’s report September 2025’s report CONNECT WITH ME Instagram Threads Substack MUSIC FROM #Uppbeat (FREE FOR CREATORS!): https://uppbeat.io/t/prigida/sweetness

    Devotion: Moving the Needle Forward

    I’m the first one to tell you: listen to your intuition and go with the flow. But what happens when the pendulum stays there for too long? What happens when you’re not able to discern structures to support the flow? These are conversations I’ve had through other forms a content, and it's time to bring it to The Grounds. Listen to how parameters support your creativity and how to maintain some sort of balance without dipping into burnout.

    The Authority Trap: Owning Your Story

    Feel like you can’t talk about certain things without being an expert in them? If it’s about sharing your experience, you don’t have to be, because the one thing you’re truly an expert in is yourself. In this episode, I use myself as an example of the topics/tools I’ll discuss, but I never claim to be an expert on them (at least not at the time of this recording, hehe). I hope that you leave encouraged to share more about yourself, no matter where you’re showing up for your business. Listen to the very end for reflective prompts and 1 action step to take with you.

    Creativity’s Role: In Relationship with Content

    Have you ever felt like a content piece or format is begging you to share it? This episode is about the tension between creativity, publishing content, and how it feels about the places we do/or don’t show up in. Listen to get a personal story about this very thing and how to apply it to your own creativity and content creation.

    Embodiment: Part of Your Strategy

    The word embodiment gets thrown around a lot. I mean, I’m glad a lot of us are talking about it, and supporting our people with it, but we need more examples about what it even means. In this episode, I share the very examples from my own life that, why it’s important for your messaging, and why a strategy without it can mean you lose the grip on the conversation you’re here to have.
