Unleash Your Inner Creative with Lauren LoGrasso (A Creativity Podcast)

Have you ever realized… you might be the one making everything harder than it needs to be? In this episode, the tables are turned. I’m the one being interviewed by nervous system expert and returning guest  Nahid de Belgeonne and what came out of this conversation was very refreshing, so I wanted to share it with you! 

We talk about stress, burnout, codependency, and the moment I realized I was taking on everyone else’s “emergencies” as my own. I share what happened when my body forced me to slow down (in a very real way), and how I’ve started to finally calm my nervous system instead of living in overwhelm.

We also get into:
Why high achievers struggle to metabolize stress

The “second arrow of suffering” and how we make things worse than they are

How to stop absorbing other people’s energy and emotions

My new morning routine for regulating my nervous system

Pregnancy, ambition, and learning to actually take care of myself

What it really looks like to step into a new chapter of your life (for me entrepreneurship and Motherhood)

This conversation is honest, grounding, and deeply human. If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or like life has been heavier than it needs to be… this one is for you.

Have you ever had a moment where everything you thought was “working” suddenly wasn’t… and you had to figure out who you were again?

In this episode, I’m talking with Emmy Award-winning producer, speaker, and writer Teri Weinberg, former EVP of NBC Entertainment, Founder of Yellow Brick Road Productions, and one of the creative forces behind The Office, Ugly Betty, and The Tudors.

But what stayed with me most from this conversation isn’t just what Teri has built… it’s how many times she’s been willing to begin again.

We talk about what it really looks like to reinvent yourself at any age, how to advocate for what you’re worth, and how to stop holding yourself back in rooms where you know you’re meant to be. Teri shares honestly about getting fired, navigating power in Hollywood, and learning to trust herself even when the path in front of her completely changed.

We also get into creative leadership, confidence, and why life doesn’t actually get smaller as we get older… it expands, if we let it.

And one of my favorite parts of this conversation is hearing how she’s stepping into a whole new chapter in her sixties through writing, speaking, and mentoring the next generation.

If you’ve been feeling stuck, questioning your timing, or wondering if it’s too late to go after what you really want, this one is for you.

In this episode, we cover:
-How to reinvent yourself at any age
-What it takes to stop holding yourself back
-Advocating for your worth in high-stakes rooms
-Lessons from producing The Office and leading at NBC + the secret behind the show’s magic!
-Navigating career setbacks and starting over
-Why your next chapter can be your most expansive one yet

Have you been sitting on something you know you’re meant to share… and still not putting it out? Yeah. Me too.

This episode is a real, unfiltered look inside my creative life right now and into my literal diary. I share what I’ve been thinking about, what I’ve been struggling with, and the biggest shift that’s changing everything for me:

Choosing expression over perfection. And impressions. 

Because the truth is, most of us are not stuck because we are not talented enough. We are stuck because we are overthinking, comparing, waiting for the right moment, or trying to get everything perfect before we begin.

In this episode, I share why I’m finally releasing music I’ve been sitting on for years, when it’s coming out,  what my journaling practice is teaching me about creativity and anxiety, and how I’m learning to stop holding myself back and actually follow through on what matters.

Learn: 
-How to stop holding back your creativity and actually share your work 
-Why choosing expression over perfection can change your creative life 
-What to do when you feel overwhelmed, anxious, or creatively stuck 
-How to stop comparing and trust your own creative path 
-Why you do not need the “perfect moment” to begin

If you’ve been waiting for a sign to release the thing, start the project, or put yourself out there, this is it.

And if this episode resonates, it would mean so much if you shared it, left a rating and review, or sent me a message. I read everything and it really does keep me going.

Now go make the thing! I believe in you!

Have you ever known sending one email could change your life… and still didn’t hit send? Yeah. Same.

If you’re a creative who’s been waiting to be chosen or secretly hoping someone will just discover you, this episode is your loving nudge to stop waiting and start creating your own opportunities. To say YES to yourself and open the door to your dreams!

I’m talking with Carly Valancy, founder of Reach Out Party, who completely changed her life by doing one simple, very brave thing: Reaching out.
After committing to sending one email a day for 100 days, she went from struggling artist to booking major opportunities, working at Lincoln Center, and even performing on Broadway. Now she teaches creatives how to do the same.

We get into the fear, the overthinking, the “I don’t want to bother them” spiral, and how to move through it in a way that actually feels aligned with your creativity and sensitivity. Near the end of the interview, she said something about what to write in your outreach that FREED me and I know it will do the same for you!

Reaching out isn’t just a career move, if you let it, it can actually be a creative act. And it might just be what changes everything.

You'll Learn:
-How to email anyone, even if you’re scared to hit send
-A simple way to write emails that feel like you and actually get responses
-How to stop feeling cringy about it and start building real connection
-Why rejection is part of the creative process, not a reason to play small (and how to actually romanticize it!)

Have you ever felt creatively blocked and had no idea why? Lately, I found myself stuck on a project I knew I wanted to complete… and instead of forcing myself to push through it, I decided to ask a different question: Why am I actually blocked?

In this solo episode, I share the breakthrough I had when I finally stopped beating myself up about procrastinating and started getting curious about what was really going on underneath the surface.
What I discovered completely changed the way I think about creative blocks. Instead of seeing them as failures or signs that something is wrong, I started to realize they can actually be signals pointing us toward something important.

In this episode, I walk you through the six most common reasons creatives get blocked and how asking yourself the right questions can help you move forward with more clarity, compassion, and momentum.

If you’ve been putting off a creative project, feeling stuck, or wondering why something that matters so much to you suddenly feels hard to start, this episode is for you.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
• Why creative blocks are often signals rather than failures
• The six hidden reasons creatives get stuck
• How past experiences can quietly create resistance to new projects
• The difference between burnout and a creative block
• The one question that can help you get unstuck
