Remember those moments when your creative tank hits empty but your to-do list is still stuffed to the brim? That point where you're staring at an empty Premiere Pro project and your coffee is doing nothing except making your eye twitch faster? We've all been in that creative quicksand - where even your favorite playlist can't pull you out.😑
After seven years of making things look pretty and pretty useful (mostly) as a visual content producer (dabbled in graphic design, photography, video editing), I've watched the creative world start spinning faster than my tabby cat chasing its own tail. Exciting to watch, impossible to keep up with.
Why I Created This PodcastDuring the last two years as freelance content designer/podcast manager, I witnessed firsthand how AI tools could either become digital tool besties or sources of frustration, depending on how I approached them.
I found myself becoming the unofficial "AI translator" for my friends - explaining these new tools without the tech jargon that makes most of us zone out faster than in science class in high school.
Then it hit me: we creative types need our own guide to this brave new world. Not another tutorial that assumes we all secretly wanted to be engineers, but actual human conversation about tools that can make our creative lives better (and maybe let us sleep occasionally 😳).
About That Trailer Music...Quick confession: If the trailer sounds full of lofty creative renaissance language... blame it on the music track I fell in love with! It was so uplifting and "the-future-is-bright" that I had no choice but to match its energy. When a perfect track speaks to you, you listen. (Fellow creative professionals, you know exactly what I'm talking about - when the right music hits, suddenly you feel like a motivational speaker on their third espresso.)
What to Expect (The Good Stuff)Every Wednesday, I'll bring you:
- No-Nonsense Tool Reviews: I'll test AI tools so you don't waste precious creative energy going through saved IG reels of new tools both you and I know you are never going to get to.
- Real-World Workflows: Practical ways to fit a few selected tools into your actual creative process, not some fantasy workflow that requires 28-hour days, 4 cups of coffee and 3 energy drinks.
- Creative Conversations: Conversations with designers, writers, photographers, founders and other creative pros who've found ways to make AI do the boring repetitive stuff while they do their thing.
- Sanity-Saving Strategies: Because I don't want to stay up all night exploring gazillion AI tools that come up, and watching endless tutorials, just to stay employed. And I bet neither do you.
This isn't about becoming a tech nerd - it's about having more time for the creative parts you actually love.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
