The TRUTH About Success & Self-Doubt

✨ Podcast Feature Alert: The Self Study Show ✨

What does real success look like in the creative industry? (Hint: It’s not just about the money or the titles.)

I recently joined The Self Study Show to have a raw, honest conversation about success, leadership, and how self-doubt shows up even at the highest levels of achievement. As an Emmy-winning TV producer, I’ve spent years building bold, high-stakes creative projects—often while navigating fear, burnout, and uncertainty behind the scenes.

This episode is about more than just storytelling. It’s about visibility, vulnerability, and how to lead with confidence when the pressure is on.

🎧 Why This Conversation Matters to Me

When we talk about success, we often gloss over the emotional cost of achievement—especially in creative industries. People see the award, the credits, the finished product. But what they don’t always see is the inner work it takes to keep going when things feel shaky.

This episode is one of my most personal yet. It’s a deep dive into how I’ve redefined success—not just by what I accomplish, but by how I show up, how I lead, and how I own my space without apology.

💡 My Reflection

After this conversation, I realized how many creatives and professionals internalize the idea that doubt is a weakness. But I now see it as a signal—not a stop sign. What matters is your response. Can you keep going? Can you own your voice even when it shakes? That’s real power.

Whether you're a creative entrepreneur, a woman in leadership, or a personal brand builder, this episode will remind you that you’re not alone—and you don’t need to shrink to succeed.

🧠 Key Takeaways from the Episode
