In this week’s episode, I sit down with Whitney Uland, writer, coach, and creator of How to Be Famous, to talk about building a life, brand, and income that match who you are.
We get into fame, creative flow, and why your “main character era” has more to do with energy than aesthetics. Whitney shares her cheat codes for success, from the millionaire morning habit that changed everything to why the world rewards people who decide they’re worthy before anyone else believes it. We also dive into the balance between structure and intuition in content creation, how to stop hiding behind strategy, and the kind of art that draws money, opportunities, and the audience meant for you.
If you’ve been manifesting but nothing’s landing, this conversation will help you step into the person you’ve been visualising! 🪞
