Even when you’re grinding, showing up, and juggling a million creative goals, there’s that quiet question that creeps in: Am I doing enough? In this episode of Creative Struggles, I talk about the pressure creatives feel to always be productive, the comparison trap fueled by social media, and the guilt that comes with rest. From feeling behind to questioning your progress, this is an honest conversation about self-doubt, burnout, and redefining what “enough” actually looks like in a creative career. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, unseen, or like your effort isn’t paying off yet — this episode is for you.

If you've ever felt guilty for being good at more than one thing, this one's for you. From hidden creative gifts to random life skills that keep you afloat, this episode breaks down why being multi-talented isn't a distraction, it's your advantage. This episode explores the skills creatives tend to overlook, the ones outside acting that are just as powerful.

Everyone says, “You’ve got a great voice, you should do voice-over.” What they don’t tell you is how much work, doubt, and self-discovery comes with stepping behind the mic. In this episode, I dive into my experience entering the world of voice-over acting, from learning the technical side, recording in less-than-ideal spaces, and auditioning into the void, to realizing that finding your voice isn’t just about sound it’s about confidence, identity, and ownership as a creative.
