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. 🎨✨
📺 The State of Television, Pt. 1
Let’s talk about the state of television. Spoiler alert: it’s a little messy.
Cable TV? Free falling.
Streaming platforms? Oversaturated.
Viewers? Comfort-watching Seinfeld and The Golden Girls like it’s 1998.
And content creators? We're out here pitching our hearts out in a market that’s shifted under our feet.
In my latest article, I dig into:
🎬 How the media landscape evolved (and then crumbled)
📉 Why reruns are outperforming new shows
👀 What most creators are missing about audience behavior
⚡️ And why this moment—while messy—is also a massive opportunity
Yes, the wave crashed. But if there’s one thing I know after 20+ years in the industry, it’s this:
Creative pros are scrappy. We pivot. We solve problems. And we damn sure don’t wait for permission to reinvent.
✨ All is not lost. Let’s solve this damn problem.
