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.

In this episode of Running With Scissors, we zoom in on the tiny, often-overlooked things that make being human so incredibly cute 🥹. From the universal instinct to smile by showing our teeth (who thought of that?) to standing in front of our wardrobes like personal stylists, clapping to show support, or using baby voices with pets and little humans—we are a weird and wonderfully adorable species. Tune in as we slow down, look around, and fall in love with the everyday magic of being a person. You might just walk away with a little more appreciation for yourself and everyone else ✨.

Let’s be real—how often do you catch yourself chasing that perfect version of everything? Whether it’s your work, your relationships, or that DIY project, perfectionism can be a major buzzkill. In this episode of Running with Scissors, we’re calling out perfectionism for the sneaky little thief it is and showing you how to stop letting it run the show.
We’ll break down how perfectionism shows up in all areas of life (hint: it’s probably messing with your creative flow and your friendships), and why it’s keeping you stuck in a cycle of stress and self-doubt. But don’t worry, we’ve got the antidote: mindset shifts, practical tips, and a reminder that done is better than perfect—always.
Oh, and we’ll get personal, sharing our own perfectionism battles and how we’re learning to embrace imperfection like the pros we are.
