Anxiety, Expectations & Creating a Life That Feels Like Yours

This week I take you behind the scenes of what really happens when you’re building a creative life—especially one that looks dreamy on the outside but often feels chaotic on the inside. After five anxiety attacks before lunch (yes, really), I sat down to talk about what it means to live with anxiety while also showing up, creating, dreaming—and trying to keep it all together.

From freelancing to coming out, from therapy to coping mechanisms that actually help, this episode is a raw and honest reflection on mental health, ambition, and why breaking things down into small steps might just be the secret to getting through it all.

💬 Do you ever feel like you’re trying to move a mountain alone? I’d love to hear how you cope—leave a comment or send me a message.
