If It Doesn't Make You Cry, You're Not Growing - with Quyen Dinh #231

This week I sit down with Quyen Dinh aka The Parlor Workshop

The TikTok algo served me up one of Quyen’s incredible creations and I knew I had to try and get some time with this wonderland creator!

We spoke about Quyen’s wiggly path to get where she is today. Growing up in a strict Vietnamese family, Quyen’s dad told her that art was selfish and that she needed to get a proper job.

It’s something I see with so many creatives, the pressure of not ‘letting down’ your family can be really intense. At the end of it all though, you must follow your curiosity and live your own life. I’ve met countless people who have buried their creativity to please others and they always have huge regrets.

In this episode we discuss;

* The philosophy of pain and growth

* Overcoming fear to create

* Sacrificing income for creative freedom

* Whether you need to post frequently on social media to be successful

* And much more!
