NOT REAL ART Podcast: Transforming the Media Landscape
I had the pleasure of joining Scott “Sourdough” Power on the NOT REAL ART podcast, where we explored the twists and turns of my creative path—from working behind the scenes in mainstream television to stepping into a more purpose-driven role as a mentor and advocate for artists.
In this episode, I open up about what it really means to walk away from the familiar in order to create something that feels true. We talk about navigating the media world as a woman who's often challenged the status quo 💪, why representation still matters so deeply, and how I’m using my platforms—Padlin Creative and Fully Unapologetic—to uplift creatives and help them thrive on their own terms. 🌱
It’s a conversation about identity, transformation, and the courage it takes to rewrite your own narrative. 🎨✨
🎶 What’s So Funny About Peace, Love & Understanding?
💥 Feeling overwhelmed? Burned out? A little ragey? Same.
When your inbox is overflowing, your industry’s on fire, and your nervous system is in full “Code Red,” here’s your permission to pause.
🙅♀️ Not to retreat.
🔥 But to reclaim.
Because peace, love, and understanding?
They’re not “soft skills.”
They’re 💪 power moves.
They’re strategy.
They’re the antidote to burnout, performative professionalism, and pretending you’re “fine.”
In this post, I’m breaking down what it really looks like to lead with:
✨ Radical self-worth
✨ Emotional intelligence
✨ And just enough weirdness to make the right people lean in
This one’s for:
🌟 Women tired of playing small
🌟 Leaders who know boundaries are professional
🌟 Anyone wondering if they’re the only one feeling off right now (spoiler: you’re not)
💫 Let’s talk about the kind of leadership that doesn’t ask you to shrink.
It asks you to show up—Fully Unapologetic.
Finding Joy in Work (It’s Not Impossible)
What if work didn’t feel like... well, work?
Imagine your next team meeting feeling more like a creativity jam session—with Hot Potato, Post-its, and actual joy.
In my latest article, I explore how bringing play, collaboration, and a little Bob’s Burgers-level silliness into the workplace isn’t just fun—it’s strategic. From awkward team-building fails to sticky-note success stories, it’s a reminder that work doesn’t have to be soul-sucking to be effective.
If you're into:
✅ Creative leadership
✅ Team engagement that actually works
✅ Workshop facilitation that energizes, not drains
✅ Or just love a good Moneyball reference...
This read is for you.
✨ Let’s make work more human, creative, and unapologetically fun.
