Have you ever felt like you're running on a treadmill instead of living an adventure? After losing my job as a designer in 2011, I spent six frustrating years trying to fit into a way of life that wasn't built for people like me. I bounced between unfulfilling jobs, even getting sacked from a shop position(!) while desperately searching for my elusive "purpose."
The breakthrough came when I made one radical shift: I stopped obsessively searching for purpose and started following my curiosity and joy instead. I made MISCHIEF my guiding North Star just to see what would happen. This seemingly simple change led me to Camp VC, a women's motorcycle festival where I found myself surrounded by fearless women pushing boundaries. That weekend sparked something powerful – the reawakening of my rebel spirit. I wasn't broken; I'd just been forcing myself to live by rules that weren't designed for creative misfits like us.
Science confirms what I discovered through experience: when you follow what excites you, you actually rewire your brain's curiosity loop for greater confidence, clarity, and creativity. This episode features a guided visualization to help you connect with your future self – the version of you who's already built the life you secretly dream about. If it brings you some insight, hit the link at the top of these show notes to send me a text and let me know!!

Not long ago I felt trapped by the daily grind and all the mundane stuff and responsibility it brought. I wanted to escape but instead of running away, I decided to rebel against the ordinary, live authentically, put FUN back on the agenda and do more of the things that made me feel alive. This podcast is one of them and through these conversations I'd love nothing more than to be able to help you do the same!
