How To Be Famous with Whitney Uland

This week’s episode is a little more personal. I’m recording from bed in the middle of a big five-day event, deep in Cannes prep, brand deals, visibility expansion, and all the emotions that come with stepping into a bigger version of myself.

In this episode, I talk about a moment that cracked something open for me: asking for an opportunity I wanted and getting the response, “I thought you’d never ask.” That moment became such a mirror for how often we delay, hesitate, or hold ourselves back not because the opportunity isn’t available, but because we’re still waiting for permission.

I also share the deeper lesson I’ve been moving through lately around power, self-concept, and what it really means to stop waiting to be chosen. I talk about the difference between a deadline and a timer, why so many creatives live under the weight of old timelines that only create shame, and how a real deadline can become a loving boundary that creates momentum, clarity, and movement.

We also get into the “river of misery” that tends to show up the second you decide to expand, the identity work required to keep betting on yourself before there’s evidence, and why becoming the person who can hold your desires matters just as much as having the desires in the first place.

If you’ve been getting 95% of the way there and then stopping short, this episode is for you.

In this episode, I cover:


why asking can be an identity shift


the difference between mutually beneficial desire and people-pleasing


what it means to stop waiting to be chosen


deadlines vs. timers, and why one creates momentum while the other creates shame


the “river of misery” that comes with real expansion


why belief has to come before evidence


the mindset shift that helps you actually cross the finish line

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.

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.
