I Had to Go Solo: The Scariest Creative Decision I’ve Ever Made
What happens when the thing you built with someone you admire… no longer feels aligned?
In this deeply honest episode, I share the story behind one of the hardest creative decisions I’ve ever made: telling my podcast co-host I needed to go solo. Not because of conflict. Not because of ego. But because of a whisper I could no longer ignore.
We’ll talk about:
- 🎧 Why I stepped away from a creative partnership that was working
- 🧠 The power (and pain) of being multipassionate
- 🔥 How community helped me transform chaos into courage
- 💡 The exact 4-step Creative Courage Framework I now use to make bold moves
Whether you’re a storyteller, content creator, or just someone trying to follow your curiosity — this one’s for you.
If you’ve ever felt stuck between who you were and who you’re becoming… this episode will meet you there.
