EPISODE DESCRIPTIONIn this unscripted Monday Break(Through), I finally take a leap I’ve avoided since the start of this podcast—recording solo without a script. It’s raw, imperfect, and real. I talk about pushing through fear, showing up even when you’re unsure, and the underestimated power of side projects. From recording in a noisy apartment to learning new skills outside of font design, this episode is a love letter to doing the thing—even when it’s scary. Plus, I share a major lesson from Elliot Jay Stocks about why side projects matter more than we think, and how they can actually help us avoid burnout, spark new ideas, and reignite passion for our main work. If you’ve been waiting for a sign to start something on the side—this is it. Let’s talk fear, creativity, and why the messy beginning is often the most powerful part.Tune in wherever you get your podcasts /Tune in wherever you get your podcasts / Monday Break(Through) Episodes S01/E50 – Season Finale: Thank You, See You SoonJuly 3, 2025S01/E49 – Keep What Gives, Let Go of What Doesn’tJune 30, 2025S01/E47 – Work Like a Pro, Laugh Like a KidJune 23, 2025S01/E45 – The Healthiest Designer in the Room Is Doing Less, Not MoreJune 16, 2025S01/E44 – Labels Are for Folders, Not DesignersJune 9, 2025S01/E43 – Turning 39 and Letting Go of the Timeline TrapJune 2, 2025S01/E41 – Why Being a Great Designer Just Isn’t Enough AnymoreMay 26, 2025S01/E40 – Everyone’s Just Figuring It Out (Even the Pros)May 19, 2025S01/E38 – Mindful Minutes – How I Took Back My Time From Instagram and EmailMay 12, 2025S01/E37 – The Cost of Cat VideosMay 5, 2025
