Have you ever felt the pressure to present a polished, perfect version of yourself as a creative? Is that what God really wants?
In this raw and candid episode, I (Allen) strip away the façade and share an unexpected start to my 2025.
I open up about the struggle to measure up to self-imposed standards and the realization that God desires something entirely different from us.
