when youre doing everything right, but still lost

Show notes

The videos I love aren’t performing, the brand deals are slowing down, and for the first time in a while, I’m wondering… is it time for a career change?

In this episode, I open up about creative burnout, resistance to becoming a “performer,” the state of the internet, and my conflicted feelings about money, selling, and meaning. I talk about new jobs, parasocial crushes, coloring books, Love Island, and trying to stay soft in a hard world.

If you’ve ever felt proud of your work but still disappointed in how things are going, this one’s for you.
