    156: Search for the Opposite: How Confirmation Bias Is Shaping Your Creative Business

    17/02/2026 | 26 mins.
    In this episode, I’m unpacking the powerful mindset shift I learned in therapy that’s changing how I view sales, growth, and identity as an entrepreneur. We’re talking about the tendency to collect proof that our limiting beliefs are true and how that impacts confidence, risk-taking, and business decisions.
    If you’ve ever thought “I’m bad at selling,” “I’m behind,” or “this just isn’t working,” this conversation will help you challenge those narratives and start searching for evidence in the opposite direction.
    This is a practical mindset episode for creative entrepreneurs ready to stop playing small and start rewriting their story. 🧡

    154: A Different Kind of January: Releasing & Honoring Your Season with Stacie Martinez

    20/01/2026 | 35 mins.
    January often comes with pressure to start fresh, set big goals, and move fast, but what if this season is asking you to slow down instead?
    In this episode, Stacie Martinez of The Lucky Bandana opens up about honoring your season when your body, energy, or circumstances require a gentler pace.
    Together, we chat about releasing unrealistic timelines, redefining productivity, and letting go of comparison, especially when healing, burnout, or uncertainty are part of the picture. This episode offers permission to move slower, listen to your body, and trust that rest and care are not setbacks, but essential parts of a sustainable creative life.
    If January feels heavy or different than expected, this conversation is a reminder: you’re not behind. 🧡🐌

    153: Learning to Love Yourself in the Push and the Pause

    02/12/2025 | 25 mins.
    In this heartfelt episode, I explore one of the hardest questions creative entrepreneurs face: When do I push myself, and when do I pause?
    After walking through a personally challenging season, I am opening up about what it really means to practice self-love with discernment—the delicate balance between following through on your commitments and giving yourself permission to rest.
    You’ll learn how to identify whether your current season calls for action or stillness, how to let go of unnecessary guilt, and why pausing doesn’t mean quitting...it’s actually a vital part of growth.
    ✨ In this episode, you’ll discover:
    Why true self-love requires discernment

    How to let go of guilt around slowing down or taking breaks

    A mental exercise to lighten your mental “backpack” and release pressure

    If you’ve been feeling the weight of doing it all and wondering how to care for yourself without losing momentum, this episode will help you reconnect to your intuition, redefine productivity, and find peace in the pause.
