Summary

#282: In a chaotic world, how do you stay grounded, fuel your creativity, and create real change?

In this episode, I sit down with award-winning cultural commentator, author, and political advisor Alencia Johnson to explore what it means to be a cultural disrupter, how to stand out without burning out, and the keys to thriving—even in uncertain times.

We also talk about:

  • Building relationships that help you feel seen, heard, and supported
  • Prioritizing self-care, community, and clear actions for lasting change
  • Maintaining resilience while facing decision fatigue
  • Reconnecting with your creative self through actionable steps
  • Alencia’s approach to standing up for yourself
  • The courage to try and fail in public
