    Substack Live: Why Imposter Syndrome Isn’t Real (And What’s Actually Happening)

    Welcome to my very first Substack Live — an experiment in real time, growth edges and all. Connect with me in Substack!   In this episode, I’m challenging the entire concept of imposter syndrome. Not with hype. Not with “just believe in yourself.” But with a grounded reframe that shifts how you understand what’s actually happening when self-doubt shows up.   Because what if imposter syndrome isn’t something you “have”?   What if it’s just a moment — a pattern — a signal — that you haven’t learned how to interpret yet?   Inside this Substack Live, I walk you through the four experiences that often get mislabeled as imposter syndrome — and how understanding them changes everything.   In this episode, I cover: Why imposter syndrome is not an illness or identity The 1970s origin story and how the term evolved The difference between a pattern and a personal flaw The 4 “imposter moments” you might actually be experiencing: Self-protection mode External reference mode Expansion friction Alignment signals Why high achievers don’t “get the worst imposter syndrome” How reframing this shifts your creative momentum You’re not broken. You’re expanding. If this resonates, I’m hosting a free workshop on Feb 12 called The Imposter Syndrome Fix, where we’ll work through this in real time.   And in March, I’m leading a 4-week small group experience, Imposter Syndrome Rehab — where we go deeper and shift the pattern at the root.   How to work with me: Energy Alignment Intensive - 30 days to reclaim creative energy Private Coaching - a custom coaching experience for the success you want in life & business without sacrificing what matters most.

    The Power of Presence: Why Real Connection Fuels Your Creativity

    If you’re physically present with your people but mentally somewhere else, this episode is an invitation to slow down and come back. We’re talking about what it really takes to be fully present in busy seasons — without guilt, perfection, or abandoning the work you love. This episode is for creative professionals who want their success to feel as good in their relationships as it does on paper.   When life and business both feel full, it’s easy to move from moment to moment without truly being in any of them. Over time, that quiet disconnection can show up as regret, creative fatigue, and the sense that you’re always rushing past your own life.   In this episode, I share the work I’ve been doing to create real connection — during long stretches that matter, like family time and holidays, and in the small moments that often get overlooked. We explore why presence is so hard when your brain is holding open tabs, how your nervous system responds to constant mental switching, and why presence isn’t just good for relationships — it’s essential for creative flow.   In this episode, we explore: Why it’s hard to “turn off” when you love what you do The nervous system impact of open mental loops and constant distraction What presence feels like — and how to recognize it in your body How small, intentional moments create deeper long-term connection Why being fully present in life actually supports focus and productivity in business   If you’ve been feeling pulled in a thousand directions or like you’re only half-there in moments that matter, this episode offers a way to live and create with more ease, intention, and completeness.   Want to go deeper? This is the kind of work I do with clients who want a full life — where relationships, creativity, work, and well-being all feel supported instead of competing.

    Create What You Really Want: How Clarity Builds Momentum

    What if the reason you’re not moving forward isn’t a lack of motivation — but a lack of clarity?   In this episode, I’m sharing why clarity is the foundation of creative momentum — and what happens when your vision is fuzzy, fragmented, or borrowed from someone else. We’ll explore how busywork, burnout, and decision fatigue all trace back to one root cause: not knowing what you actually want to create.   You’ll learn how to identify the signs of unclear vision, how to stop outsourcing decisions, and how to finally create something that feels like yours. Plus, I’ll walk you through my favorite process to help you ditch the “shoulds,” find your North Star, and reconnect with the creative direction that lights you up.   In this episode: Why motivation doesn’t come first — clarity does Signs you’re acting without a clear creative vision The link between overthinking, burnout, and confusion A simple prompt to reconnect with what you really want What to do when your ideas feel scattered or slow   If you’ve been spinning your wheels or second-guessing your next step, this episode will help you clear the fog and move forward with momentum.   Want to go deeper? This is where I start with my one-on-one clients — walking you through my full Creative Compass framework to bring clarity and alignment to every part of your life and creative work.

    What if your “lack of productivity” isn’t the problem — it’s the definition you’re working with?   In this episode, I’m getting real about productivity — why it so often feels like a moving target for creatives, and what it can actually look like when it aligns with your energy, your values, and your real life (you know, the one with surprise kid pickups and last-minute ideas at 9pm).   I’m walking you through 7 popular productivity myths and sharing what’s helped me build structure without losing flexibility, momentum without burnout, and motivation that doesn’t rely on pressure or guilt.   We’ll cover: Why the 5am club isn’t for everyone (and doesn’t have to be) What to do when routines stop working — or never worked to begin with How rest, play, and slow mornings can be part of your productivity plan Small shifts to help your systems feel more human and less like punishment   If your to-do list makes you want to run and hide — or you’ve been craving a version of productivity that actually fits you — this one’s for you.
