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.

Because being easy to love shouldn’t mean being easy to overlook. 💭 Are you genuinely low maintenance… or have you just gotten really good at not asking for anything? 🎙️ Welcome to Running with Scissors... real conversations about relationships, identity, psychology, and the messy parts of becoming an adult.

   You Didn't Love Them. You Loved How They Made You Feel.

   Why is it so hard to let certain people go? In this episode of Running with Scissors, we're unpacking three relationship traps that keep us emotionally stuck: • The difference between love and validation• Why closure doesn't always come• Falling in love with someone's potential instead of who they really are Sometimes we don't miss the person, we miss how they made us feel about ourselves. We chase closure that never arrives, convince ourselves they'll eventually become the person we need, and mistake emotional highs for genuine love. If you've ever found yourself unable to move on, this conversation might explain why.
