Friend Crush with Amber Akilla

kind of a niche topic, but something i have been reflecting on recently since moving back to Shanghai, China ... growing up in Australia feeling suffocated by racism, moving to China and feeling a sense of freedom but also a number of realisations around the importance of being able to detach from the restrictions around you and to continue with determination to live your best life and be hot and have fun!!!!slay habit trackers ☆ free downloadhttps://www.friendcrush.club/shop/p/hot-girl-slay-habits-e-bundlesubscribe for full episodes, exclusive episodes & perks! ♡patreon.com/amberakilla⁠https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/friend-crush/subscribe⁠follow me ☆https://instagram.com/amberakilla/https://instagram.com/friend.crush/https://www.tiktok.com/@amberakillahttps://www.youtube.com/@amberakillahttps://twitter.com/amberakillahttps://soundcloud.com/amberakillahttps://open.spotify.com/user/amberakilla

i had someone ask me about my experience/working in the creative industry... i really don't feel like an expert on this topic but i can at least share my reflections on my work so far and my ongoing relationship with creativity and working in the industry. being an art freak growing up in a geographically and culturally isolated place like perth to living in a megacity like shanghai has been a ride and a lot of my assumptions and expectations about what "doing what you love" really means have been challenged and redefined. not conclusive at all, and i can keep you posted as my thoughts change and evolve but maybe this can give some additional perspective for anyone that needs it! let me know what you think of the episode!! xx also this was supposed to be a video episode but it takes too long to upload to spotify - i give up!! also also remember to subscribe to the youtube please!! ily subscribe for exclusive episodes & perks! ♡ ⁠https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/friend-crush/subscribe⁠ follow me ☆ https://instagram.com/amberakilla/ https://instagram.com/friend.crush/ https://www.tiktok.com/@amberakilla https://www.youtube.com/@amberakilla https://twitter.com/amberakilla https://soundcloud.com/amberakilla https://open.spotify.com/user/amberakilla
