A pep talk for creatives to step into their power and make more art.

[@Shinpleify]

I feel like you're the older sister who has been there and back. Now, you're giving us a pep talk to pull ourselves together to actually make art and own it! 😭

[@farxiyeah]

I LOVE YOU MOM ❤❤❤❤

[@farxiyeah]

i mean coach** 😅

[@careercoachmandy]

bahahahah!!! thank youuuu!!!

[@DickiesThrifties]

Hans ov my mum

[@diannholland]

You are a teacher, you are an adult education counselor, you are a writer, you are a coach, And to sum this all up, you are a DIGITAL MEDIA PROJECT ENGINEER.

[@dmystfy]

So true

[@CristinaLopezArt]

I swear all your videos speak straight to my heart 😭 I’ve only seen three so far but you have no idea how much I needed to hear them all. It’s helped me so much finally pull the trigger on pursuing my dream career as an artist, I’ve been struggling FOR YEARS to do. Thank you THANK YOU for posting these!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@h77as-v7p]

“its cool to be seen” Never knew how much I needed to hear this from someone else to not feel ALONE! I never knew why I had the idea that looking desperate for a goal is not cool hahah I’ll be working on my goals with a different perspective now, and the fact that ur worried about the micro conversions with people hahah I feel the exaaact same way during holidays! overthinking their opinions when in reality it doesnt even matter!😅

[@Margo-long]

You are my kind of extra. I needed to hear this pep talk tonight. Celebrate the holidays and who you are!

[@johnnyb198]

Sounding great Coach Mandy 😁 building an empowerment platform for artists/creatives getting back to their craft is a purposeful endeavor. Your content is exactly what I needed. I appreciate your efforts! 🙏🏼

[@theganiiyat]

Dear Coach Mandy, thank you so very much for sharing your knowledge with us. Through your videos I am learning a lot, having realizations and feeling less alone on my confused career and creative pursuits.

[@careercoachmandy]

wow, this means so much. i hope we can keep learning together.

[@bobohuns9230]

"you're already good enough, just start doing it" i love youuu thank you for making these videos 🫂

[@noobdefault9378]

Whenever I feel down, I always go to your channel for the boost that I need! Bless you always

[@jalapenochipzzz]

Why am I crying? Thank you, Mandy. 💗

[@audreypoulin4102]

I cried too yesterday watching another one of her videos not to mention she made me laugh too!

[@jalapenochipzzz]

@ she definitely makes me laugh too! Definitely a highlight in the morning when I tune into her videos before heading off to work.

[@chamoisbeal]

“It’s okay to be a weirdo.” I love that us. Thank you. 😊

[@kittenishthings]

So happy you added that little tidbit about micro social interactions especially with Christmas coming around because I totally resonate with that. Most of my family & extended family don't really understand the internet and all that it envelops, trying to describe content creation?? I don't know if they're ready for that conversation lol. Even if no one in your real world gets it, everyone here does and LOVES you for it!!

[@pamel97art]

You've helped me so much so my advice is to just say "I help other creatives with their journeys". If they know you as a "career coach", they would easily connect you to that role just in a creative field. But that's only if you care. Like you said many times, you don't have to :)

[@LouisLuzuka]

so much love for you thank you for healing my wounds, I need to care more about me then the art will come

[@defnotcire]

I can’t even describe how comforting and encouraging you & your work is. Thank you for being youuuu

[@KittyPanteraArt]

Thank you so, so, so much for this! I’ve been struggling with this exact thing and you’re just so talented in phrasing things the way I needed to hear them!

[@Californiansurfer]

Thank you Mindy. Keep it real and authentic .. We are ok.

[@ginaulibarri6895]

Betraying myself by stepping into the spotlight scares me. I’ll learn.💚

[@Linda-ht1ys]

So true. We need to start being comfortable being seen. This video was sooo spot on.

[@latifaed2176]

On time 😊 your videos are always full of values thank you Mandy for helping us ❤❤❤

[@careercoachmandy]

heheh thank you, i appreciate you being here!

[@Hg-jy3tb]

Omg i was literally thinking about requesting THIS EXACT TOPIC from you 🤯

[@ginaulibarri6895]

I am Extra too! The holidays stress me out because of the same thing. How do I explain who I am and what/why I am. Don’t dampen my light! I don’t want to be seen.. yet. Soon. My creative has been pushed down for over 25 years. I’m unpacking “literally “ boxes of sculpting tools and will soon buy watercolors and clay. I am that side person. Omgoodness I feel like I should write down Everything you say! Thank you.💚

[@ginaulibarri6895]

Thank God for You! You are saying Everything I have been Feeling! Omgoodness! I found you while getting ready for work. You will be my background today and until I have gone through All of your videos. Thank you so much!💚

[@PSChronicles11]

Thank you Mandy. This was a great pep talk for me. FYI I know from experience that when we are creating something not fully developed it's not a good idea to share it with the people you know. They can't understand anyway. I do hope you have a wonderful Holiday time with your family and friends. Becoming the new version of you isn't for the people who know you YET. You are brilliant. Celebrate that.

[@lauravsthepage]

It’s not dominating a conversation to have big goals and to mention them. If people have questions, I dont think they would resent you for answering them. I personally love when someone has something real to share at family get togethers. Your description was a perfectly fine soundbite, because it is true. Forget being socially acceptable and chill 😉 allow yourself to be seen.

[@hayazeedan]

Can i just say thank you? I didnt know that there could be someone out there with the same irrational fears. I felt so lonely being a shy perfectionist creative, waiting to be discovered because "no beautiful thing asks for attention". It has to be fate that i had just stumbled upon your videos now after finally making the decision to step out of my shell 8 years afte creating an art account and never posting. Thank you.

[@elinuranuwar]

I don't know why it took KZbin so long for me to reach you. And I'm so glad I stumbled on this! You're such a joy and I love it. Thank you for reassuring us to be OKAY in our journey to create our own success

[@Allisonczwong]

omg thank you for making this video!! I immediately clicked it from the message on your thumbnail haha needed this so much!

[@careercoachmandy]

aww thank you so much!!

[@worldspacehealing9074]

Me everytime Mandy uploads... yessssssss

[@LamHelps]

I’m a financial advisor in the corporate world and have always been a creative since I was a little boy. 2025 I will share my choreography and art with the world. I recently found your channel and you’ve really inspired me to really embrace my artistic side. Thank you

[@ashleycstewart]

I spend my mornings with you while I drink my coffee ☕️ and as I get ready for the day. Loving your vibe, your advice, and your genuineness. Also - you are a badass and you can promote that you are a coach for creatives. 💕 And we are thankful to have you!

[@lynmadelle820]

i have no idea what’s my gifting/talent/skill im just doing something to get by. yet my heart is screaming wanting a Better life. thanks for your videos 👍🙏🏻❤️‍🔥

[@HannahBee10]

Great video Mandy! Thank you so much for the love letter. I love your energy and how authentic you are… it’s honestly so refreshing ❤😇 You’re now my online aunty and coach 😅

[@careercoachmandy]

aunty is here!!!!

[@angie-tq4ew]

I understand not wanting to go into your dreams you hardly know. People still don't know I'm an aspiring writer. What I say is "I'm challenging myself with a project" and if they ask what that is, Ijust smile and they know I won't say more. Most time they're okay with that, and if not, too bad. Lol!

[@positivelyisabella]

thank you so much for the encouragement! I just found your channel this week as I have been trying to push myself to focus more in my creative spirit, and post more on youtube. I was also a nerdy weird kid, and somehow I forgot how to be her... this year I am trying to find my younger self again

[@x.summz.x]

Love how I stumbled across your vids at a time when I really need it. You’re helping me build my confidence! Thank you ❤

[@Mesharae]

I relate to you sooooo much. The weird kid turned weird adult is definitely me !! Needed this video!

[@Xanriksmom]

You are so encouraging, and I thank you. I'm almost 50, and I'm finally focusing on art, and a youtube channel. THANK YOU SO MUCH. I love you already.

[@careercoachmandy]

YESS and our age is a benefit, a life fully lived, with wisdom and fullness.

[@mello__o]

Hi, I love you, thank you for being our coach 🥹🤍

[@AmandaSmith-se4wp]

Mandy!! I’m a Mandi!! :) One Mandy to another… I HOPE you say “I have an empowerment platform on KZbin that helps creative artists get back to their true selves.” That is SOOOO incredibly powerful. If you own that (like I’m creating content owning getting into singing/songwriting at 46 😆😆😆) people will be blown away. That’s an incredibly powerful statement!!! I love it!!! 😳🔥🔥🔥

[@careercoachmandy]

hi mandi!!! yesss, mandi/ys unite! thank you for this message, it is so kind. i love the idea of just saying it. i mean why not?!? so excited about your singing/songwriting! let's keep going!

[@deartennislovejamie]

I am so grateful I found your channel!

[@LaVidaLinds]

found your page a few days ago and I just want to say thank you for all of your advice! It's been soooo helpful

[@keasiahmclaughlin]

This video healed me ✨ It put into words what God has been trying to tell me for the past two years! Thank you 🖤

[@careercoachmandy]

aww you're so welcome :)

[@alexlamiaart]

Thank you for this! For years, people told me I should share my art on KZbin. I finally started a couple months ago. I’m not very good at the filming and editing part, but I’m trying!

[@shinebabyshine.]

Thank you mamacita! I needed this as I do alll of your talks ❤❤

[@BrazenAlchemy]

I’m so grateful for this content, it’s so encouraging ❤

[@SHURYŌNOSHIKAHOSHI]

You’re like my big sister I’ve never met. Thank you! 😊

[@shallnoTfear]

I am not an artist at all. I am very analytical and I just like the algorithm threw your channel at me. Been listening and listening ❤

[@theluckyone9851]

Im so glad i found your channel, im so inspired to create 🥹

[@lilalila3314]

god am becoming obsessed with your videos 😍

[@celine.davidsen]

Mandy, thank you for your videos as always. I pray you would make a video and speak how to manage life, for “us” who are not really 100% creatives, and also not really 100% corporates. Not sure this even makes sense. But it’s hard to go the creative route when you don’t feel 100% capable as a creative. And it’s hard to go the corporate route, when you feel too creative to be at a deskjob.

[@paolabueso]

Love your videos so much! Thank you for everything you do! 💖🙌🙌🙌

[@Hexadecimal_QueenofChaos]

Thanks coach !!!!!

[@careercoachmandy]

you're welcome!!!

[@ChocolateMyWorld]

Girl you are the best.

[@Beepthesheep123]

This video healed something in me.

[@iridescent.peachgirl]

you're so so cool. i love this and it's beautiful.

[@Sweetie_PieLo]

You’re looking slim Mandy, dayamm! Thank you so much for everything you say. It is medicine to the soul

[@wanderingtrainvlogs]

Loving your videos, keep it up! ❤

[@adriannamartinez7614]

Love this!❤😊Thank you!❤

[@kalinamalina4492]

That's when I started telling people that I work online, mostly with Excel and similar tasks. No one ever seemed interested in learning more about it.

[@careercoachmandy]

BAHAHAH that's a great way to divert the conversation, i love it.

[@missmoula1]

Hi Coach Mandy! Thanks for this new insightful video, I have binged watched all your content and it really resonates with me. I struggle with so many things right now, I get so anxious about the future because right now I feel like I am numb. Nothing appeals to me, no career not even the current role I have. I struggle to find purpose in anything at this point and whenever I start any endeavor I quickly stop because I lose interest and always end up telling myself "what's the point?". This is soooooooooo exhausting.

[@mychannelafc]

Sometimes I put your videos on in the background just so you can have more views. Love your videos 🥰

[@careercoachmandy]

WHAAAAT this is genuinely the nicest thing I've ever heard. Sending a screenshot to my husband immediately

[@homepage2803]

I TOTALLY relate to "what do I say my job / work is...." I don't wanna belittle my the potential of my work but also, I'm not there yet...

[@careercoachmandy]

that's exactly right!

[@MIGSKI_DEV]

ive been feeling weird about posting when I am not very good at the craft im trying to master, thanks for sharing ❤

[@47micky]

I really enjoy your videos on KZbin, they are watched even in Israel.

[@careercoachmandy]

[@yearofthedragonjane88]

I am so lost. I have a BFA from a good art school and am unemployed and get rejected from every residency and job I apply to. I am 36 too. Its embarrassing

[@dmystfy]

Could you talk about creative project management?🎉 you basically already have

[@skylaellis]

Where were you when I was 23? 🧐

[@Emma-ud2pj]

"I'm a prophet"

[@Spring-p8w]

Your channel is best.. But when you add subst your video it was better for people who arent natives. So please add subst or conversation pdf. We can read easily and understand better❤
