How To Be Famous with Whitney Uland

In this week’s episode, I’m sitting down with actor, model, and dear friend Zarina Yeva for a conversation that felt deeply personal, reflective, and honestly really moving. We talk about her journey from Kazakhstan to the worlds of film, fashion, and global visibility, but what stayed with me most was the deeper conversation underneath all of it: identity, resilience, spirituality, and what it takes to keep remembering who you are through every season of life.

Zarina shares so beautifully about the challenges she’s overcome, the inner work that has shaped her, and the practices that help her stay connected to herself, her purpose, and her vision. We also talk about manifestation, protecting your energy, staying clear in a noisy world, and what it really means to trust the path you’re on even when it asks so much of you.

This episode feels like a reminder that the most powerful thing any of us can do is come back to ourselves again and again.

In this week’s episode, I’m joined by one of my best friends and one of my favorite coaches, Lindsey Mango, for a really personal conversation. I invited Lindsey on to coach me through some of the blocks I’ve been moving through lately around expansion, pressure, identity, money, and what it looks like to keep choosing the next version of myself even when it feels uncomfortable.

This episode felt especially vulnerable because we got into the real stuff: the fear that can show up after big growth, the ways old survival patterns try to come with us into new levels, and what it means to create from alignment instead of panic. Lindsey helped me see some things in real time that I know so many of you will relate to if you’re in a season of up-leveling, uncertainty, or rebuilding your self-trust.

I’m so excited for you to hear this conversation.

If you keep starting and stopping on your content, I do not think it is because you are lazy, unmotivated, or undisciplined.

In this episode, I’m breaking down one of the biggest lies creatives believe: that your first project has to be your big break. It doesn’t. Sometimes it just needs to exist.

I’m sharing the story behind Hysterical Women — the pilot I made before I felt fully ready, fully confident, or fully equipped — and why that imperfect project still became a major building block in my career. I talk about perfectionism, fear of being seen, creative identity, and why making the work before you feel ready is often what builds the confidence you’ve been waiting for.

I also answer a Celebrity Circle question about what to do when you feel like you’re showing up, creating, and posting, but nothing is taking off yet.

This week on How to Be Famous, I’m joined by my acting teacher, John Ruskin, and this conversation felt especially meaningful to me. John has had a profound impact on the way I think about presence, truth, performance, and what it really means to let yourself be seen. He is the founder of the Ruskin School of Acting and is recognized by the school as one of the teachers hand-picked and trained by Sanford Meisner, which makes this conversation such a special one for anyone interested in craft, magnetism, and authentic expression.

In this episode, we talk about acting, identity, emotional truth, and the deeper inner work required to hold attention in a real way. And honestly, that’s what How to Be Famous is about too. Fame is not just tactics. It’s not just content. It’s who you become when you develop the capacity to be seen, felt, and remembered.

If you’ve been struggling with visibility, consistency, or feeling like your content doesn’t fully land, this episode will give you a deeper understanding of why presence matters so much. This is exactly why I teach both the internal and external sides of visibility: the nervous system work, the identity work, and the actual systems that help you show up and grow.
