W9, INVOICE, CONTRACTS… What Are They and Why Do We Need Them?
W9s, invoices, and contracts might sound intimidating, but they’re the backbone of treating your art like a business. Too many creatives lose money, time, and opportunities simply because no one ever explained the basics.

I Schedule My Posts… and Here’s Why
If you’re not scheduling your posts, then what are you really doing? I don’t treat social media like a random scroll fest. I treat it like a system. Scheduling my content keeps me consistent without burning out, frees up my time to actually live, and makes it look like I’m everywhere without me being glued to…

Today and everyday remember you have free will
Some days it feels like life is already written for us…jobs, responsibilities, routines, expectations. But the truth is, you have free will. Not just in the big, dramatic moments, but in the smallest daily choices: to create instead of scroll, to speak up instead of stay quiet, to keep moving instead of letting one bad…

I’m Not Training My Replacement
I’m setting the bar high enough for them to set their own. Somewhere along the way, people confuse admiration with manipulation, kindness with weakness, and success with villainy. But I’ve learned, I don’t owe long explanations anymore. Either you get it, or you don’t.

I Know I Belong in This Room
I used to think I didn’t deserve the rooms I found myself in. Every opportunity, every gift, every space…I questioned if it was really mine. Maybe it was imposter syndrome, maybe it was fear, maybe it was me holding onto guilt for things I couldn’t control. But today, I know better. I belong in this…

Social media is dead (and we’re still scrolling)
Social media isn’t dying… it’s already dead. TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, all of them. They’ve run their course, and yet most people won’t believe it until a celebrity says it out loud or gets chewed up by the algorithm. Meanwhile, we keep scrolling, hypnotized by artificial dopamine hits, trading our presence for performance. The truth…

There’s No Need for the Internal War
The longer we let the internal war rage on, the more stagnant we become. We paralyze ourselves with doubts, “what ifs,” and “maybe laters,” and in doing so, we rob the future version of us of the life they deserve.

To Conduct the Orchestra, You Must Turn Your Back on the Audience
Leadership isn’t about applause or approval, it’s about creating harmony in the chaos. Like a conductor with his back to the audience, true leaders focus on guiding those in front of them, not pleasing the crowd. The path is often lonely, but if you stay focused in the right direction, the music of your work…
