Running with Scissors

Running with Scissors

Running with Scissors is about taking beautiful, calculated risks. We’re here to have the real, raw, and sometimes ridiculous conversations about life, ambition, self-discovery, and the messy yet magical journey of figuring it all out. Our goal is to create a space where creatives feel seen, heard, and inspired—whether you’re chasing big dreams, navigating setbacks, or just trying to survive adulthood with your sanity intact. Through candid chats, personal stories, and insights from inspiring guests, we want to spark creativity, confidence, and a strong sense of community. We’re here to remind you that life isn’t about playing it safe—it’s about running with scissors, taking risks, and creating a life that excites you. Join every Tuesday for a new episode - we’re so excited for you to join us on this journey.

It’s a deep (but fun) dive into timelines we’ve let go of, goals that didn’t feel as good as they looked, and the freedom that comes with figuring out what success actually me...

Becoming isn’t about rushing to the next big thing.

It’s about allowing yourself to grow — messily, quietly, courageously.

In this episode, we explore the sacred season of becoming: the shedding, the grieving, the building, and the waiting. We’ll remind you that growth is rarely a straight line, and that your evolution — even when unseen — is powerful beyond measure.

You are not behind. You are becoming. ❤️
