How To Be Famous with Whitney Uland

What if the thing standing between you and your next level isn’t a lack of strategy — but your inability to hear and trust your own intuition?

In this episode, I’m joined again by psychic medium and personal transformation coach Stephanie Zeller for a conversation about the connection between intuition, creativity, visibility, and fame. Stephanie teaches people how to strengthen their intuition and psychic abilities, and we get into why successful people seek out psychics, what acting and channeling have in common, and why learning to get out of your own way can make you more magnetic.

We also talk about the subconscious beliefs that quietly keep us from being seen, sharing our work, making more money, trusting ourselves, and going after the lives we actually want. Then we open the conversation up to the Celebrity Circle for live intuitive coaching around fame, art, relationships, money, visibility, and creative blocks.

In this episode, we talk about:

Why celebrities and highly successful people work with psychics — and what they’re actually looking for

The connection between acting, creativity, channeling, intuition, and “celebrity energy”

How fear of judgment, being misunderstood, and childhood rejection can block bigger visibility

How to tell when you’re acting from intuition versus ego, fear, urgency, or attachment

Why subconscious reprogramming can reveal opportunities that were sitting in front of you the entire time

How to know whether a psychic reading is actually empowering you or causing you to outsource your power

Why trusting your intuition can help you move beyond the limitations of your logical brain

The difference between creative flow and forcing your work from perfectionism or ego

What happens when you stop trying to make yourself palatable to everyone and start attracting the people who actually resonate with you

Why becoming more visible may require increasing your capacity for vulnerability

How the beliefs you hold around money and worth can affect the level of success you allow yourself to create

Why sometimes the next step isn’t a giant leap — it’s building the identity, confidence, and capacity that make the leap possible

Stephanie also shares her own journey from working as a dental specialist and international educator to becoming a psychic medium, personal transformation coach, and founder of The Transformation School, where she now teaches people how to develop their intuition and psychic abilities.

We also dive into Trigger Free, Stephanie’s subconscious reprogramming tool, and why I’ve personally found it so useful for identifying the hidden beliefs underneath fear, resistance, and feeling stuck.

One of my favorite ideas from this conversation: if there’s something you deeply desire but you genuinely cannot see a path to it, there may be a belief or trigger sitting between you and the solution.

I recently took what might be my favorite photo of myself I’ve ever seen — and instead of just making me feel hot, it made me realize how vulnerable it is to actually see yourself becoming someone new.

In this episode, I’m talking about the relationship between visibility, identity, fame, and self-perception — and why your next level often feels embarrassing before it feels natural.

why photoshoots can change the way you see yourself

visibility, nervous system regulation, and the fear of being perceived

personal branding, image, and expanding your Total Addressable Market (TAM)

becoming your future self before you have external proof

sexuality, self-expression, and the parts of yourself you’re scared to let people see

What happens when you realize the career you’ve built isn’t the dream you actually want anymore? My friend, actress, producer, and Self-Made Celebrity coach Michelle Lang is back to talk about finding your way back to your creative identity, reinventing yourself in Hollywood, and using social media to create opportunities on your own terms.

Michelle and I talk about:

reinventing yourself as an actor, artist, or creative after losing confidence in your dream

how Michelle generated over 100 million views by embracing her weirdest creative instincts

why social media is changing Hollywood—and how actors and creators can use it to build their own leverage

motherhood, shadow careers, and giving yourself permission to want more

why the people around you need to see who you’re becoming, not just who you’ve been

We also talk about claiming your identity before you have external proof, letting yourself be “too much,” creating from desire instead of fear, and why Michelle is officially done trying to make herself more normal for the internet.

Michelle will be joining me at the upcoming Self-Made Celebrity Retreat, where we’ll be coaching, creating, connecting, and filming my new reality series. You can join us through The Self-Made Celebrity or purchase a ticket to attend the retreat. Find all the details in the links below.

What does it actually take to build a lasting creative career in Hollywood? I sit down with Cinco Paul, the writer behind Despicable Me, The Lorax, Horton Hears a Who, and Schmigadoon, to talk about the career highs, failures, big breaks, and creative risks that shaped his path from aspiring songwriter to successful screenwriter and showrunner.

In this episode, Cinco Paul and I talk about:

how Despicable Me became a massive success—and why you can never predict what audiences will love

why chasing trends can make your work less impactful

taking Schmigadoon from an idea he held onto for 25 years to a TV series and Broadway musical

dealing with rejection, career setbacks, and creative self-doubt even after you've found success

his advice for screenwriters, showrunners, and creatives trying to break into Hollywood

We also talk about social media, taking feedback without losing your creative vision, pitching yourself in Hollywood, and why your screenplay isn't your ticket to success—you are.

Go see Schmigadoon on Broadway.
