In this episode of The Bold Brave Woman Project, I explore the weight of that pressure: how it seeps into our creativity, our identities, and even the ways we measure our own worth.

I share my own wrestle with the belief that every project should lead somewhere “profitable,” and the breakthrough that helped me shift out of paralysis and into flow. This simple but powerful separation has permitted me to follow inspiration withou...

Some days it feels like nothing is shifting - your bank account looks the same, the room you wake up in hasn’t changed, and the brave steps you’ve taken don’t yet show in your outer world. But this doesn't mean things aren't changing.

I share what it’s been like to pour myself into creative expression without knowing exactly where it’s all leading, and why I believe redef...

When the vision you were building your life around suddenly cracks… what then?

This episode is your permission slip to be in the in-between, to not know, and to trust yourself anyway.

I chat about:

  • A powerful reframe to use when things fall apart: “If this is for me… then now what?”
  • Why the void—the in-between—isn’t empty, but deeply alive
  • How fear of being “ordinary” might be keeping you from your truth
  • What trust really&n...
