is social media ruining creativity? have we lost the plot completely? how do we recognize when the pressure to perform and gain visibility is dampening our creative integrity?
join me for an unscripted, heart-centered conversation about the real struggles of showing up authentically online in 2025. I reflect on my personal journey of going from inconsistent posting to strategic content creation — only to realize I was losing myself in the process. I’m opening up (honestly) about my own social media burnout, the pressure to constantly create content, and how AI tools like ChatGPT, FaceTune and Capcut are disconnecting us from authenticity.
we’re exploring:
🪽 the hidden costs of chasing vanity metrics and follower growth
🪽 why constant creation isn’t natural for cyclical beings
🪽 how to use AI as a tool without giving away your creative power

🪽 practical ways to reconnect with your authentic voice as a creator
this episode is perfect for content creators, influencers, artists, and anyone feeling overwhelmed by the pressure to perform constantly online. this episode will remind you that it’s okay to step back, go inward, and create from a place of love and genuine expression, rather than external validation.
