Let’s take a small detour – maybe you can share a bit about yourself before we dive back into some of the other questions we had for you?

I’m a creator, performer, and accidental motivational speaker who somehow turned chaotic storytelling into a brand. My art lives at the intersection of humor, healing, and I probably shouldn’t be saying this publicly but here we are. I keep my content relatable and lighthearted with the occasional informational tidbit in there.

What excites me most about what I do is the freedom to be completely myself—messy, curious, emotional, sarcastic, inspired, and always evolving. I talk about healing and growth, but I do it with jokes, honesty, and the occasional existential crisis. My followers know me for phrases like “good morning chickens,” “grind ur grind get ur shit right,” and “drink water be gr8,” and yes, I absolutely say them in public too. My mission is to help people feel seen, laugh at the chaos, and remember they’re stronger than they think—even on the days they feel like a discarded sock.
My brand is basically alchemy: turning pain into power, heartbreak into art, and random everyday moments into content that somehow ends up helping someone else. I love blending fun with depth. I love telling the truth. I love chasing growth even when it drags me by the ankles.

Right now, I’m working on a new project that’s all about transformation—learning how to forgive, how to stop carrying what isn’t mine, and how to step into a version of myself I actually respect. It’s a mix of video content, storytelling, and original music. Think: spiritual glow-up, emotional armor, main-character energy—wrapped in humor, healing, and a little bit of chaos. I’m also expanding my work in digital marketing and social media management, helping brands and creatives bring their stories to life while continuing to build my own.
In short: the journey is messy, meaningful, and very much in progress. And I’m excited to let people watch the evolution in real time—even the parts I probably should’ve cut out.

There is so much advice out there about all the different skills and qualities folks need to develop in order to succeed in today’s highly competitive environment and often it can feel overwhelming. So, if we had to break it down to just the three that matter most, which three skills or qualities would you focus on?

1.. Radical Acceptance…
I’ve had to learn that cutting people off isn’t always the most terrible thing in the world. It can be so cleansing for the soul and for the future that awaits. I had to learn how to be brutally honest with myself, not pretend that everything is fine and dandy…. perfect but that we go through some of the messiest ugliest things in order to turn into that butterfly.
I’ve always written things down…as of lately I’ve been writing truer to how I feel in THIS moment in time not whats impacted me in the past and not what scares/excites me for the future.

2.. Creative Resilience
There were seasons where everything felt heavy, stagnant, or confusing—but I kept creating. Not perfectly, not consistently, but meaningfully. I learned to show up even when the voice in my head said, “no one cares.” That resilience turned into confidence.
Advice: Stop waiting to feel ready. Ready is a myth. Start with what you have, where you are, with the skills you’re slowly building. Consistency comes from compassion, not pressure.

3.. Turning Chaos Into Clarity (AKA alchemy)
My mind moves fast—ADHD, emotions, ideas firing everywhere. For a long time, I felt like it made me “too much.” Then I realized it was actually my creative engine. I learned to take the chaos—life experiences, painful moments, random thoughts—and turn it into art people connect with.
Advice: Don’t fight your brain—study it. Work with your natural rhythm. Use the way you think as part of your aesthetic instead of seeing it as a flaw. Some of the most successful creators, writers, and performers embraced their “too much” and made it their brand.
