#7 Creative Courage, Community & Showing Up

In this raw and open episode, I’m talking about the courage it takes to show up; especially when it feels scary or vulnerable. I share personal stories about finding my voice, the impact of creative community, and how confidence often grows slowly, one small brave step at a time. Join me for this gentle episode where I remind you that you’re not alone and that you belong, just as you are.

Listen in for honest reflections, encouragement for the quieter creatives, and a celebration of the power of connection, compassion, and creative courage.
