This past year has felt like a total sprint—so much has happened, and it flew by in the blink of an eye.

In this episode, we’re hitting pause to reflect on the highlights, the hiccups, and how we’ve grown as creatives and entrepreneurs. We’re sharing the moments that made us feel on top of the world, the challenges that tested our limits, and the lessons we’ve learned about chasing creative fulfillment (and why it’s so important).

We also talk about the art of pitching yourself (because waiting for opportunities? Not our vibe), why we’re rethinking success, and how our goals have evolved to better reflect who we are now.

If you’ve ever felt stuck trying to balance creativity and business, or you’re just looking for a little inspiration to reignite your passion, we’ve got you. Let’s dive into a year of growth, self-discovery, and a few laughs along the way.
