About this listen
What if happiness isn’t the goal, but the side effect?
In this episode, I get real about what it means to create when life, love, and work all want something from you. I talk about my Mars in Capricorn in the 5th (aka strategic fun and perfectionism in the same house), the slippery trap of making stuff for validation instead of for yourself, and how relationships can either stifle or fuel your art.
I share why my last relationship left me carrying bags that weren’t mine, and how this one feels like oxygen — the difference between someone slowing you down and someone hyping you up at your natural pace.
And when it comes to creativity? Sometimes the magic isn’t in the masterpiece — it’s in the jazz playlist, the 5-Star notebook scribbles, or the first messy draft.
If you’ve ever felt guilty for choosing yourself, or stuck waiting for permission to create — this one’s for you.
