Running with Scissors

In this episode of Running with Scissors, we take you behind the scenes of what it really looks like to run a creative business. From chaotic Mondays to our small (but powerful) daily habits, we’re lifting the curtain on the things people don’t post.
 
We talk:
Our typical daily routines — and what’s far from routine
The unglamorous stuff: admin, burnout, and behind-the-scenes chaos
Tools, systems & habits that actually keep us productive
How we deal with slumps, slow days, and staying sane
 
If you’ve ever looked at someone’s creative journey and thought, “How do they do it all?” — this one’s for you. Because spoiler: we don’t. Not without a little mess, a lot of coffee, and some trial-and-error systems.

We’ve been taught to stay quiet until it’s perfect. To wait until we’ve "made it" before we show up. But what if the real power lies in being seen before you're ready?
 
In this bold and honest episode of Running with Scissors, we challenge the idea that you have to be polished to be valuable. Instead, we explore the radical idea of building in public—of letting people witness your growth, your doubts, your evolution.
 
Here’s what we dive into:
- Why perfection kills connection—and how sharing the process builds trust
- How your vulnerability gives others permission to begin
- The way community forms when people see you rise in real time
- What it really means to show up authentically (without oversharing)
 
This episode is your reminder that you are already enough—even mid-mess, mid-doubt, mid-journey. You don’t have to be finished to be powerful.
 
✨ Let them witness your becoming.

Ever held yourself back because you didn’t want to look "cringe"? Thought twice about posting that reel, wearing the outfit, or saying the bold thing out loud?
In this episode, we’re breaking down the myth of embarrassment and why it’s only real if you believe it is. We talk about self-consciousness, social conditioning, confidence, and how to own the moments you once felt ashamed of.
If you've been dimming your light because you're afraid to be seen—this one’s your permission slip to shine anyway.
 
💬 Tag us with your boldest, most “embarrassing” moment—we’ll be cheering you on.
You’re not cringey. You’re becoming.

Everyone looks like they’ve got it all figured out—flawless careers, perfect routines, aesthetic posts. But here’s the truth we all need to hear:No one actually knows what they’re doing.
In this episode, we’re breaking down the myth of “having it all together” and why embracing the unknown might just be your greatest power.
We talk about:
Why even the most “successful” people are just winging it
How uncertainty fuels creativity and innovation
The trap of waiting until you're “ready”
Why real confidence comes from doing, not knowing
How to reframe not knowing as freedom, not failure
✨ You’re not behind. You’re just in the middle of becoming.
