How many times have you said, “That’s just who I am”? Maybe you’re a procrastinator, an overthinker, terrible with boundaries, always busy, or simply “not the kind of person” who does certain things. But what if those aren’t personality traits at all? What if they’re just patterns you’ve practiced?
In this episode of Creative Imperfections, Kelly explores the difference between ...
What happens when nothing is actually wrong with your life…but you start wondering if it’s still the life you want?
In this episode of Creative Imperfections, Kelly explores how we can build an entire life one decision, responsibility, and “yes” at a time, without ever stopping to ask if it still fits who we’re becoming. From confusing capacity with desire to outgrowing versions of success we once wan...
Sometimes what feels like frustration, restlessness, or suddenly being “too picky” is actually growth. Your standards are changing because you’re changing, and the things you once tolerated, accepted, or settled for might not fit who you’re becoming anymore. In this episode of Creative Imperfections, we’re talking about recognizing that shift, trusting it, and giving yourself permission to stop shrinki...
Protecting your energy doesn’t mean building a giant emotional force field around your life. It means paying attention to what drains you, what restores you, and where you’re giving away far more of yourself than you realize. In this episode of Creative Imperfections, we’re talking about boundaries, energy, and why you don’t have to be available for everything and everyone just because you technically can be...
Sometimes life sends you a gentle reminder to slow down. And sometimes it sends you straight to the ER. After my body recently made it very clear that it was done negotiating with my schedule, I’ve been thinking a lot about the way we treat rest like something we have to earn. In this episode of Creative Imperfections, we’re talking about listening before your body's whispers turn to shouts, the difference between havin...
Ever find yourself wrestling a grocery cart that insists on veering into the canned beans no matter how hard you steer? This week on Creative Imperfections, we're talking about the infamous bad wheel and why so many of us spend way too much energy pushing things that were never meant to be this difficult. It turns out the lesson isn't always to push harder. Sometimes it's to grab a different cart. Equal parts humor, perspective, an...
When it comes to The Campfire, balance lives somewhere in the middle. You want to be close enough to feel the warmth, but far enough that you don't lose yourself in the flames.
In today's episode of Creative Imperfections, that's what we're trying to figure out. Not how to eliminate the fire. Not how to build the biggest one. Just where to put our chair.
My Inner Critic & Pessimistic Co-Pilot Had A Staff Meeting
Apparently my inner critic called a meeting... and my pessimistic co-pilot showed up early with a full presentation on everything that could go wrong. Sound familiar?
In this episode of Creative Imperfections, we're talking about the voices in our heads that love to overanalyze, catastrophize, and convince us to stay safely stuck. More importantly, we'll explore how to ...
I'd like to officially break up with Motivation.
It's inconsistent, unreliable, and has a habit of disappearing the moment I need it most. Turns out, motivation is a terrible long-term partner.
In our 50th episode of Creative Imperfections, we're talking about why motivation should only be treated as a spark and not the fuel. Because the people who reach their goals aren't the ones who always feel motivated. They're the ones who ke...
How many times a day do you tell yourself what you should be doing? In this episode of Creative Imperfections, I explore the hidden weight of "should" and how it turns our lives into a constant comparison between where we are and where we think we're supposed to be. You'll learn how to trade judgment for curiosity, pressure for progress, and stop should-ing all over yourself. If you've been feeling behind, stuck, or frustrated with...
I would like to formally file a complaint against adulthood. I don't know where to submit it, I don't know who reviews these things, and I don't know if there's a customer service department somewhere handling concerns, but I have notes. Tune in to Episode 48 of Creative Imperfections, to hear my complaints!
"Detour Ahead"
Ever have one of those weeks where you have a plan... and then life has other ideas?
Jury duty, sick kids, unexpected detours, surprise opportunities, or simply one of those days where everything gets rearranged. In this episode of Creative Imperfections, I'm talking about what happens when life gets "lifey", why flexibility might be more valuable than control, and ho...
The voices... you know the ones... the ones that live in your head rent-free sharing their opinions on everything you do. In this week's episode of Creative Imperfections, let's dive into the committee that lives in our heads and how we can learn to live with them instead of feeling like we need to fire them all.
Have you ever missed something for a day and your brain spirals into a dramatic collapse? Today's episode of Creative Imperfections tackles just that topic: how our brains can be so dramatic in the stories they create after an imperfect moment.
If your work feels different lately, like you’re in a bit of a creative shift, instead of trying to correct it, get curious about it. Ask yourself what has changed within you, what you see now that you didn’t see before, what you feel now that you didn’t feel before, and how that might actually be informing your work in a deeper way.
Because your art is not separate from you... it’s a reflection of you.
So, ...
In this episode of Creative Imperfections, we'll chat about how the people around you shape your mindset, habits, and standards more than you may realize. Some relationships help you grow, while others keep you small. It’s my friendly reminder to choose your environment wisely, because who surrounds you often shapes where you’re headed.
As a creative, your life is not separate from your work. Your experiences, your challenges, your energy levels, all of it feeds into your creativity, your perspective, and your voice. So when life gets "lifey", it’s not pulling you away from your path, it’s becoming part of it. In this episode of Creative Imperfections, we'll discuss how consistency doesn't mean sameness, it simply means staying connected.
What if the thing holding you back isn’t someone else’s opinion... but your prediction of it? This episode of Creative Imperfections is about the subtle ways we adjust ourselves based on imagined reactions of others, and the freedom that comes when you realize most people are too busy thinking about themselves to analyze you the way you think they are.
Before you say a word, you’ve already said something. In this episode of Creative Imperfections, I explore how your internal state shapes every interaction, why presence matters more than performance, and how the energy you carry into a room influences everything that follows.
After a weekend of 12+ hour days being “on” at VO Atlanta, this episode dives into the hidden exhaustion that comes from constantly showing up. It’s about the difference between the public version of you and the real you, why both are valid, and how to come back to yourself when it’s over. If you’ve ever felt the crash after being “on” for too long, this is your reminder that recovery isn&r...
