In this episode, I sit down with bestselling author and creative powerhouse Jamie Varon to dive deep into the world of cringe culture and what it really means to be a creative in today’s society. We explore how the internet has labeled anything outside the box as “cringy,” and how that label stops so many people from expressing themselves fully. Jamie shares how daring to be different isn’t just an act of courage but an essential step toward living a truly creative and fulfilling life.

We also unpack the complicated relationship between social media and creativity—how platforms built for attention can stifle originality, and why reducing your time online may be the best way to unlock more of your own brilliance. Jamie and I talk about the disconnection happening in humanity when so much of our energy is spent curating instead of creating, and how turning back to what excites and delights us is the ultimate act of resistance. This episode is an invitation to reconnect with your creative spark in a culture that often tells you to dim it.

Jamie also gives us a behind-the-scenes look at her upcoming sophomore novel, Charlie Quinn Lets Go (Park Row, September 30th, 2025), a powerful story that promises to resonate with anyone seeking to embrace life’s complexities with authenticity. With her track record as the author of Main Character Energy and Radically Content, Jamie continues to inspire through her words, her creative consulting, and her courses that help others write, design, and live with intention. If you’ve ever felt like your creativity doesn’t belong in a world quick to judge, this episode will remind you that being “different” is exactly where your magic lies.
