The Art of Being Seen: Creating vs. Sharing Your Celebrity Energy

Hey future celebrity - I’m coming to you from a rainy Tuesday in LA, deep in the creative cave building a brand-new free training (and yes, a new hypnosis to go with it — stay tuned!). This week, I’m talking about something that so many creators overlook: the energetic difference between creating and sharing. After locking myself in The Proper Hotel — the same place where my card once got declined and this whole “How to Be Famous” journey began — I was reminded just how sacred and vulnerable the process of being seen really is. In this episode, I’m unpacking: The energetic gap between creating and showing up online How “being perceived” is an art form — not a performance Why content creation is a spiritual practice in visibility The full-circle moment that reignited my purpose What it really means to channel your Celebrity Energy This one’s for the artists, entrepreneurs, and creatives who are ready to make sharing your art feel as powerful as creating it. 💊 This episode is sponsored by MaryRuth Organics — my go-to for clean supplements.
