What is it like to transmute big emotions and intense feelings into brilliant, healing art?

We find out from Kayla Robinson, an award-winning creative director and filmmaker who specializes in character-driven stories that explore identity, grief and connection through marginalized perspectives. After over a decade in advertising, Kayla made the powerful choice to say "yes" to becoming a film director – facing intense doubt, fear, and perfectionism along the way. In this heartfelt episode, we discuss the importance of sharing your work even in its early stages, inviting the right collaborators, and taking aligned action to actualize your ideas. It’s a must-listen for any aspiring creative.
