If you’re someone who wants to grow, get unstuck, or just make the most of where you are in life, this episode is for you. I’m talking with Kevin Jackson (aka Kevi the Dreamer), a self-improvement creative, nurse-turned-podcast-host, and someone who knows a lot about what it means to “grow through what you go through.” We dig into why celebrating small wins is so important—not just for your mindset, but for moving forward. You’ll also hear us talk about what courage, confidence, consistency, and creativity really look like in action, and which one most creators secretly struggle with.

Two specific takeaways you’ll get in this episode:
– How owning your differences (even those you were bullied for) can turn into your biggest creative strength.
– Why revisiting your childhood joys or nostalgic memories can spark fresh ideas and help you feel more confident as a creator.

Whether you’re building a podcast, navigating a career change, or looking to shake off some self-doubt, you’ll find plenty of relatable wisdom here.
