Hosted by Stormy Sage, this podcast explores identity shifts, life pivots, creativity, and spirituality through intimate reflections, midnight letters, and gentle rituals. Here, personal growth is not about fixing yourself; it’s about learning how to stay with the life you are creating, and courting your future with devotion instead of force.

85. No one around me was doing it, so I didn’t either and I regret it.

I waited 10 years to give myself permission to create.And I don’t want you to do the same.This is one of those vulnerable, voice-shaky broadcasts from me to you, a creative pep talk wrapped in truth serum. I’m reflecting on the biggest mistake I made in my 20s: trying to mold myself into who I *thought* I had to be, instead of honoring who I already was. Spoiler alert: it didn’t work.If you’ve ever stopped yourself from starting something, a blog, a podcast, a business, a bold outfit, just because no one around you was doing it? This one’s for you.Topics I flirt with: ✨ Losing 10 years to self-doubt + people-pleasing✨ The power of inner child expression (hello, matching purple set)✨ Why your “cringe era” is your most powerful one✨ Shadow work + self-worth in the creative process✨ Letting go of the all-or-nothing mindset✨ Why your weird ideas *are* the magicThis isn’t about going viral. It’s about choosing to show up for your voice, your ideas, your expression, because you’re worth it, even if no one claps yet.
