What happens when grief doesn’t just hurt emotionally… but disconnects you from who you are at the soul level?
Sculpt N Create - Episode 24 w/ Stacey Niedentohl
Trea Da Fit Artist sits down with Stacey Niedentohl for a powerful, grounded conversation on grief, healing, intuition, and staying connected to yourself — especially as a creative navigating loss, pressure, and purpose.
Stacey is an evidential medium, spirit translator, spiritual healer, mentor, retreat facilitator, and author of My Head Knows, But My Heart Still Hurts and My Crystal Addiction Diary.
In this episode, she breaks down what healing at the soul level really looks like beyond talk therapy, beyond surface fixes.
Together, we explore:
How grief shows up differently for artists and entertainers
Shadow work, manifestation, and intuition as creative tools
Why creativity itself is a healing language
Staying grounded through emotional intensity, identity shifts, and creative blocks
The difference between religion and faith... and trusting your intuition without fear
Why healing is not about “moving on,” but coming back home to yourself
Stacey also shares her personal journey through anxiety, panic attacks, spiritual awakening, and answering a calling that ultimately led her to helping others heal... without gimmicks, fear tactics, or labels.
This conversation ain't about chasing the mystical. It’s about awareness, balance, and reconnection.
If you’re a creator who’s ever felt blocked, overwhelmed, disconnected, or searching for clarity, this episode will meet you where you are.
Let’s get into it!

Sculpt N Create - Episode 23 w/ Rocky Neal
A raw conversation on artistry, freedom, and building longevity without selling your soul.
Trea Da Fit Artist sits down with recording artist Rocky Neal for a real, unfiltered conversation about what it actually takes to survive and thrive as an artist today.
Rocky explains why he refuses to box himself in as “just a rapper,” how versatility and strategy have shaped his catalog, and why chasing mainstream validation often leads artists further away from freedom.
From opening up for major acts on festival stages to intentionally releasing singles instead of albums, Rocky breaks down the mindset shifts independent artists must make if they want longevity.
They dive into the realities most artists avoid talking about:
The business side of music that quietly kills creativity
Why gimmicks fade but authenticity compounds
Treating music like a long-term asset, not a gamble
The power of personality, storytelling, and presence
Why co-signs don’t matter without consistency
Making concept records that outlive trends
Navigating artistry, independence, and real-life responsibilities like fatherhood
This episode ain't about shortcuts or hype cycles. It’s about clarity, ownership, and building something that lasts.
If you’re an artist, entertainer, or creative trying to move smarter, not louder, this conversation will meet you exactly where you are.
🎧 Press play and tap in.
🔑 KEY TAKEAWAYS
✔️Freedom is the real goal, not fame or mainstream validation
✔️Artists last longer when they stop boxing themselves into one lane
✔️Singles can be more powerful than albums for independent artists
✔️Personality builds loyalty faster than streams
✔️Gimmicks attract attention, authenticity builds longevity
✔️Festivals reveal who actually has music that connects
✔️Treat music like a long-term asset, not a quick win
✔️Concept records give your catalog depth and replay value
✔️Co-signs mean nothing without consistency and strategy
🎤 BARS FROM THE EPISODE
🔥“Freedom is the goal. Whether mainstream comes or not, that’s secondary.”
🔥“If you’re not doing what works for you, you’re probably chasing the business instead of building it.”
🔥“Music is not a gamble, it’s an investment. A song can win years later.”
🔥“Gimmicks fade when the personality behind them ain't real.”
🔥“Festivals show who actually has music, not just motion.”
🔥“People don’t fall in love with the music first. They fall in love with you.”

Breaking the Box: Music, Healing & Finding Your Voice Without Permission
w/Guest: Bri Toria — Singer, Songwriter, Spiritual Practitioner, Healer, Mentor, Business Owner
In this powerful episode of Sculpt N Create, Trea Da Fit Artist sits down with Bri Toria for a raw conversation about finding your voice, breaking generational cycles, and healing through creativity.
Bri opens up about being bullied out of singing at a young age for not fitting the “expected” church sound, and how that experience planted years of fear, self-doubt, and silence around her voice.
Instead of quitting, she chose to carry the creative baton passed down through the women in her family and run her own race.
From her genre-blending neo-soul and alternative R&B sound to her debut album I Am ISIS, Bri shares how music became a tool for self-love, emotional release, and spiritual healing.
She also speaks honestly about touring as an independent artist... the vocal strain, technical issues, stress, and growth... and why taking the leap matters more than being “ready.”
The conversation expands beyond music into Bri’s work as a Reiki healer, EMDR specialist, sound therapist, and mentor, exploring how mind, body, and soul alignment shows up in both her art and her mission.
If you’ve ever felt boxed in by expectations or discouraged out of your calling, this episode will hit home.
🔑 KEY TAKEAWAYS
✔️ Being “different” is often a sign you’re on the right path
✔️ Generational patterns can quietly suppress creative gifts
✔️ Silencing your voice comes at an emotional cost
✔️ Healing and creativity are deeply connected
✔️ Touring ain’t glamorous, growth happens in the struggle
✔️ Confidence is built before validation shows up
✔️ You don’t need permission to answer your calling
💬 BARS FROM THE EPISODE
🔥 “Depression is your true self trapped in a box trying to get out.”
🔥 “I heal people whether it’s through music, sound, or energy.”
🔥 “Don’t let hurt people dictate your life.”
🔥 “Your calling usually starts when you’re a kid.”
🔥 “Be your biggest cheerleader until your team shows up.”
🔥 “The marathon continues... even when it hurts.”

🎙️ Sculpt N Create — Episode 19 w/ Debbie Simmons
Some people chase success…
but others live their legacy long before anyone applauds it.
In this episode, Debbie Simmons — CEO, nonprofit founder, speaker, and “Legacy Architect” — breaks down what it really means to live with intention and significance in real time, not just at the end of your life.
From grief and pressure to purpose, leadership, and impact, we explore how artists, entertainers, and purpose-driven creatives can build a legacy through the way they live, create, and serve right now.

✔️Legacy is lived, not just left.
It’s built in your daily choices, not just in your final chapter.

What breaks your heart may be where you’re called to build.
✔️You’re always influencing someone.
Whether you like it or not, people are watching how you move.
✔️Presence over pressure.
The past brings regret, the future brings anxiety — you build legacy in the present.

You don’t have to do everything. You just need to take the next best step.

🎙️ Sculpt N Create — Episode 17 w/ Kam Knight
In this powerful and eye-opening episode, Trea Da Fit Artist chops it up with international speaker, author, and mental performance mentor Kam Knight to break down a hidden force holding many creatives back: internal resistance.
Kam unpacks how our minds quietly sabotage our best intentions, why talented artists and entertainers often struggle to take action, and how past experiences, perfectionism, self-image, and unconscious beliefs all contribute to the invisible wall we hit when chasing our dreams.
From comfort zones to childhood programming, Kam explains how identifying and working through resistance is the key to unlocking real progress... not just in art and business, but in fitness, health, and everyday life.
This one’s a must-listen for any creative who’s ever felt stuck, paralyzed by fear, or unsure why they can’t move forward. Expect real talk, deep gems, and tools that can shift your whole mindset.
🎯 Key Takeaways:
Desire doesn’t equal action.. resistance blocks follow-through.
Artists often struggle more due to fear of feedback or visibility.
Perfectionism is resistance disguised as high standards.
Deep-rooted beliefs from childhood & trauma can hold us back.
The brain prefers familiar, even when it’s unhealthy.
Resistance peaks right before breakthroughs.
Self-talk and repetition reprogram the unconscious mind.
Success is harder to maintain than to achieve.
Growth requires momentum more than perfection.
💎 Bars from the Episode:
“Desire doesn’t equal action.”
“Perfectionism is resistance in disguise.”
“You can’t fix what you don’t realize is broken, but your resistance knows.”
“Success is not the finish line... it’s the entry point to sustainability.”
“The brain doesn't care if it's good or bad... it just wants familiar.”

🎙️ Sculpt N Create — Episode 16 w/ Allison Bonilla
In this episode, Trea Da Fit Artist sits down with Allison Bonilla, a Professional Life Strategist, former Psychotherapist, and Relationship Alignment Coach ... for a grounded conversation about love, ambition, communication, and emotional well-being.
Allison breaks down the difference between clinical depression and the emotional weight that comes from life pressure, especially in Black and brown communities where mental health stigma still runs deep.
Together, they explore how to maintain connection while growing individually, how emotional strain shows up in the body, and why communication is maintenance, not something you only do when things fall apart.
Whether you're an artist, entertainer, entrepreneur, or someone navigating love while chasing your vision, this one is going to hit home.
🎯 Key Takeaways
Not everyone needs clinical therapy — coaching supports growth before crisis.
Understanding the difference between clinical depression & overwhelm is essential.
Mental health stigma still prevents many from seeking help.
Emotional stress often shows up physically — the mind and body are connected.
Proactive relationship maintenance prevents emotional distance.
Communication ain't about being right, it’s about staying connected.
Silence in a relationship is usually a signal, not comfort.
Shared goals keep relationships aligned during growth.
Work-life balance requires clarity, communication & intention.
🎤 Bars From the Episode
“Communication ain't just talking, it’s maintaining the connection.”
“Love doesn’t collapse under ambition; it collapses under silence.”
“If we’re growing, we have to grow together.”
“Your relationship can be your peace or your pressure... it depends on how you communicate.”

Sculpt N Create – Episode 14 w/ Rich Wright
