SEASON 3 - STEEZY STUDIOS™

SS/OUND WAVES™ PODCAST - SEASON 3

It's crazy to think that just a couple of years ago, we started this journey together, and now we're already on Season 3. As much as I've enjoyed building this space with you, I'll be honest—this podcast continues to challenge me in ways that push me completely outside my comfort zones. And that's the beauty of it. Now, entering Season 3 and reflecting on the past seasons, I can clearly see that I am not the same person I was in Season 2, and definitely not who I was in Season 1. Breaking through the barriers of fear and embracing the path of the warrior has led me—and hopefully you—to a place of mental, emotional, spiritual, and creative freedom. A sensation of internal safety and a relentless desire to keep ascending to new heights. I hope these candid and vulnerable pieces of my story have helped you, and continue to help you on your journey. I pray that we never stop striving to turn the unfamiliar into the familiar as we expand our understanding and realize our capacity to create from a place of love. We're better together.

SEASON 3 / EPISODE 12 - NO ONE CARES ABOUT YOUR BUSINESS

No one will care about your business as deeply as you do because they haven’t walked in your shoes or experienced the late nights and sacrifices that built it. Your drive stems from a vision and personal investment rooted in your experiences, dreams, and even failures—all of which shape your commitment and the quality of your work. Every detail, every decision, comes from a place of genuine passion and purpose. While others may contribute or appreciate it, only you feel the full weight and joy of creating something that reflects your values, aspirations, and unique journey. It’s not your job to make people see things exactly as you do; your role is to paint the picture and let others find their own meaning. And if you’ve done your job right, it will resonate deeply in their hearts.

SEASON 3 / EPISODE 11 - THE TIME TO START CREATING IS NOW

Let's talk about content creation and the work it requires to create momentum towards your goal. But first, let me say this: the dream living inside your heart isn’t just a fleeting fantasy; it’s a calling, one that demands to be nurtured and shaped into reality. Every day you delay is a day you’re robbing yourself of seeing what could be. The idea of a perfect time, the perfect budget, the perfect body, or the perfect smile is a myth, and waiting for it only fuels the fire of regret. Your dream doesn’t need perfect conditions to begin; it needs action, commitment, and a willingness to chip away at obstacles one small step at a time. It’s about finding the courage to confront your fears and doubts and reminding yourself that progress, however slow, is still progress. Start now, start messy, and embrace the grind.

SEASON 3 / EPISODE 10 - ARE YOU WILLING TO SUFFER

Sometimes, you’ve got to pause and have a real conversation with yourself. Am I still on the right path? Am I willing to start over, to face the hard days, and put in the work to pursue what I love? The truth is, chasing your passion or dream isn’t a straight line; it’s messy, filled with moments of doubt, setbacks, and struggle. But if you’re willing to embrace that, to suffer a little for what sets your soul on fire, that’s where the magic happens. Let today’s episode be a post-it note on the mirror of your heart, reminding you to pause and do an internal check-in. Are you still moving from a place of passion? Take a moment to reflect and ask yourself if you're truly aligned with the fire that once drove you. Check in with yourself, adjust where needed, and let that honest reflection guide your next steps.

SEASON 3 / EPISODE 9 - UNLOCK YOUR CREATIVE GENIUS

As a creative who has hit the five-year mark of sobriety, I felt it was time to open up and share my experience of how sobriety and creativity can intersect and open up a whole new world of creative genius within you. I'll be honest, at the beginning of my journey, I never thought I would be able to access my full creative spirit while being sober. But the truth is, sobriety hasn't diminished the magnitude of my creative output; it's unleashed it in ways I couldn't have imagined. My productivity, my ideas, my joy for work, and my ability to be present have all increased by making the decision to live differently—and sticking to it. If you're a creative, or simply a human looking for a change, this episode is for you.

SEASON 3 / EPISODE 8 - ARE YOU BEING RECKLESS

I've been very open about my reckless past and how it always tended to look like a car crash on the highway of my life. So how is it possible that after all of this work I've done, and the changes I've made, I'm still finding myself ask if I'm being reckless? The answer is universal, and to be fair, quite shocking just how subtle and stealth this cunning little intricacy can be. Join me as I open up about my past car crashes and the recent fender benders in my life.

SEASON 3 / EPISODE 7 - THE ART OF HAPPINESS

Happiness is an artful expression of learning how to use the paintbrushes of gratitude and appreciation to create a beautiful masterpiece on the canvas of our lives. When we take a moment to acknowledge the simple things, those tender moments that make the deepest impacts, we begin to find happiness in the places we once seemed to overlook. -- This episode is meant to serve as a reminder to pause for a moment, to look around, and to be grateful for all of the things that currently surround you.

SEASON 3 / EPISODE 6 - LETTING GO OF EXPECTATIONS

Something that I’ve found in my latest internal maintenance and inventory is that, as much as I try not to, I still find myself taking certain things personally, especially when the words or actions are coming from someone I trust and love. This isn’t just a 'me' thing, this is a 'we' thing, because we all have the tendency to personalize and internalize these unmet expectations which leads to disappointments. We create unnecessary counterproductive narratives around these experiences that leaves us feeling bad, hurt, judged, unloved, unseen, unsafe, or simply unimportant. So let’s dive into this and try to navigate this upstream momentum that produces the tension between someones actions and words, and the story we internally create out of the material they just handed us.

SEASON 3 / EPISODE 5 - GRAPPLING WITH LONELINESS

Loneliness is something that I haven't felt in as long as I can remember. In fact, I thought I got rid of it for good. Then suddenly and out of nowhere, I felt the uncomfortable sensation come back and I couldn't figure out where it came from and why. After sitting in the tension and processing the cocktail of thoughts and emotions, I now see that this uninvited feeling was here to tell me something -- and I needed to listen.

SEASON 3 / EPISODE 4 - IS IT A BREAKUP OR BREAKTHROUGH

Laura is back in the studio after a year long hiatus. We catch up on life and talk about our recent failed relationships as she candidly, and vulnerably, opens up and shares her intimate experience with us. We dive into how a breakup can be used as something that crushes us, or it can be used as a the emotional force that creates a positive breakthrough. We talk about our past patterns and how we've learned how to shift our perspective to shape our future.

SEASON 3 / EPISODE 3 - WHAT FEAR IS HOLDING YOU BACK?

As I was driving with the windows down and having an amazing car-aoke session with myself, this deep rooted question jumped out at me out of nowhere, "What fear is currently holding you back?" -- It was as if the music abruptly stopped and all of my attention got directed towards the answer of this question, a question in fact that I often times find myself avoiding. And then it hit me, the fear that I fear, is the fear of success. As this came into my awareness, I can see so vividly now that it's also the fear that has been keeping me stuck, and it has been the driving force behind why I've been playing so small.

SEASON 3 / EPISODE 2 - WHEN THE PAST PASSES AWAY

An ex-girlfriend of four years recently passed away and the news of this tragedy impacted me extremely deeply. To be completely honest, it's quite shocking how much sadness, shame, and regret this event brought up for me because we had little to no contact over the last five years. It just goes to show how she never stopped having such a huge presence in my life and how deeply rooted our experience together was. She has the only set of eyes, aside from God and myself, who witnessed me at my worst, and yet she still chose to love me. Track with me as I try to navigate and process this foreign territory of losing an ex love while trying my best to extract the hidden gifts from the grief and regrets.

SEASON 3 / EPISODE 1 - YOU CAN BE THE SUN OR THE STORM

We are officially back for Season 3 and I'm so excited to get the momentum going again. -- I wanted to use this space today to serve as a reminder that we all endure the contrast of life. There's no escaping it, regardless of how much work you've done or how good you've gotten at adjusting your internal weather. Some days are filled with sunshine, others are cloudy and grey, and somedays we may get caught in a full blown storm. This internal whirlwind within is where we feel like we can't anchor ourselves to anything good. But I promise you, there is good everywhere and in everything, we just have to train ourselves to look for it.
