In this episode, we explore the moment that forced corporate creative strategist Dior George to slow down and confront the pressure women face in both creative and corporate environments. Dior opens up about juggling motherhood, high stakes projects, and the invisible expectations placed on high achieving women, until a single moment made it clear that something had to change.

What followed was a powerful realization about alignment, emotional capacity, and the myth that women must sacrifice their well being to maintain success. Dior shares the internal breakdown that led to a breakthrough, redefining what balance, ambition, and self trust look like for modern creatives and working mothers.

This conversation dives deep into burnout, identity, mental health, and the permission to build a life and career that honors all parts of who you are.

In this episode of Behind the Creative, Dr. Kristelle (https://www.instagram.com/drkristelle) sits down with creative strategist and sports marketing veteran CJ Simmons (https://www.instagram.com/mr_cjsimmons) to explore what it truly means to define the undefined — in life, in business, sports, and in creativity.

From launching his career at NASA to shaping partnerships across all six major sports leagues — NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, MLS, and WNBA — CJ’s journey is a testament to reinvention, clarity, and purpose in the midst of transition.

Together, they unpack what it means to navigate ambiguous seasons, turn uncertainty into creative momentum, and measure progress without traditional metrics. CJ opens up about the truths he’s learning to say out loud, the habits that keep him grounded, and his upcoming book exploring the art of defining life’s undefined chapters.

This conversation is a powerful reflection on identity, alignment, and brilliance. It reminds us that even when the path isn’t clear, forward motion is still progress — and that sometimes, the undefined seasons are where our purpose begins to take shape.
