In this episode, Iām diving into how 'authenticity' has become a marketing strategy, the difference between curating what you share and faking stories for engagement and how audiences have become smarter.
If youāve ever looked at someoneās post and thought, āthis still feels curatedā, this episode is for you.
The Confession: "Everyone teaches being authentic as best practice but it still feels like their 'authenticity' is still made to look perfect."

Iām talking about the pressure to fake success in the online design space when youāre struggling to book design clients. I'm sharing why āfake it ātil you make itā has become such a common (and risky) tactic, and how it can backfire when the truth catches up to you.
The Confession: "I am "faking it til I make it" by pretending to have actual clients.. it's gotten so far that other designers are starting to ask about where I get clients & how to talk to clients on disco calls"

In this episode, Iām talking about the all or nothing mindset and why two things can be true at once.
The Confession: "I used to think that if i wasn't showing up consistently then I was failing & if i didn't love doing design every single day then maybe I wasn't cut out for it. But lately I've been reminding myself that two things can be true at the same time"

The Confession: "When i have client calls, I price the project based on how annoying I think client is going to be during the process"
This episode dives into why pricing should never be personal, how to protect your creativity without guessing someoneās vibe, and what to do instead of adjusting your rates out of fear.

This week Iām joined by Jenn from Stankin Good Design to talk all about the pressure to perform on social media, designing for visibility instead of value, and the real cost of chasing validation from other designers instead of your actual clients.
Together we unpack:
How to spot when youāre designing for the algorithm, not your audience
Whether trends are helping or hurting your creativity
The difference between soul work and survival work
Why not everyone can afford to ājust create for funā
Reconnecting with your creative voice (and your clients) offline
If youāve ever caught yourself designing for likes instead of purpose, this oneās for you.

The Confession: "i've totally given up on my 2025 goals i don't know what i was thinking"
In this episode, weāre talking about what happens when those goals you set in the New Year no longer feel right, why changing your mind doesn't make you a failure and why prioritising the now and future version of you is better than sticking with the past version that you've grown away from.
The New Year Episode Mentioned: "Why New Year Goals Might Be Overrated?"

In this episode, weāre talking about the reality of being new in your creative business and why feeling behind doesnāt mean youāre not good enough.
Iām also sharing a personal story from my first ever client project (spoiler: I had no idea what I was doing) and why feeling discomfort might be the one thing that gets you where you want to go.
This is your permission slip to start before you feel 100% ready because literally everyone does.

Thereās a lot of advice floating around for designers and creative business ownersā¦ but what if itās not actually helping you?
In this episode, Iām breaking down some of the most popular business advice Iāve seen online and why it didnāt really work for me (and what Iāve chosen to do instead)

If youāve been trying to follow the rules but still feel stuckā¦ this one's for you.

This week's confession: "I think i've spent hundreds of $ on courses and learning stuff and taken lots of free courses but I feel like I'm not getting anywhere. "
If youāve ever felt like youāre one course away from finally figuring it all out, youāre not alone. So many designers fall into the trap of thinking thereās a secret they just havenāt learned yetābut thatās not how it works.
In this episode, weāre talking about:
- Why designers keep searching for the "missing piece"
- How marketing makes you think you need more to succeed
- Why taking actionānot just consuming more informationāis what actually moves you forwardReady to share your story, opinions or those questions you feel like you canāt ask? ā ā Submit it hereā ā

In this episode, Iām talking about the unrealistic (and honestly kinda hurtful) expectations around clients, why trust is earned not owed, and why being a good designer doesnāt mean rejecting every client who has an opinion.

Figuring out what to share on social media is hard. Do you just post your work and keep it professional? Or do you sprinkle in a little personal stuff so people actually get to know you? Itās tricky to know where the line is, and letās not even get started on the fear of oversharing or posting something irrelevant.
