Description
Kayla’s creative journey started at just nine years old with a Corn Pops commercial and evolved through acting, modeling, and directing.

In this episode, Kayla opens up about navigating the challenges of independent filmmaking, the mental battles of self-doubt and imposter syndrome, and the importance of building confidence as a creative. She also shares how she balances multiple artistic identities and why creating your own content is essential for success in today’s entertainment industry.
