It’s about clarity, ownership, and building something that lasts.If you’re an artist, entertainer, or creative trying to move smarter, not louder, this conversation will meet you exactly where you are.🎧 Press play and tap in.🔑 KEY TAKEAWAYS✔️Freedom is the real goal, not fame or mainstream validation✔️Artists last longer when they stop boxing themselves into one lane✔️Singles can be more powerful than albums for independent artists✔️Personality builds loyalty faster than streams✔️Gimmicks attract attention, authenticity builds longevity✔️Festivals reveal who actually has music that connects✔️Treat music like a long-term asset, not a quick win✔️Concept records give your catalog depth and replay value✔️Co-signs mean nothing without consistency and strategy🎤 BARS FROM THE EPISODE🔥“Freedom is the goal.

  • "I Was Bullied Out of My Gift… Until I Took It Back"

    "I Was Bullied Out of My Gift… Until I Took It Back"
    Dec 16 2025

    Breaking the Box: Music, Healing & Finding Your Voice Without Permission


    w/Guest: Bri Toria — Singer, Songwriter, Spiritual Practitioner, Healer, Mentor, Business Owner


    In this powerful episode of Sculpt N Create, Trea Da Fit Artist sits down with Bri Toria for a raw conversation about finding your voice, breaking generational cycles, and healing through creativity.


    Bri opens up about being bullied out of singing at a young age for not fitting the “expected” church sound, and how that experience planted years of fear, self-doubt, and silence around her voice.


    Instead of quitting, she chose to carry the creative baton passed down through the women in her family and run her own race.


    From her genre-blending neo-soul and alternative R&B sound to her debut album I Am ISIS, Bri shares how music became a tool for self-love, emotional release, and spiritual healing.


    She also speaks honestly about touring as an independent artist... the vocal strain, technical issues, stress, and growth... and why taking the leap matters more than being “ready.”


    The conversation expands beyond music into Bri’s work as a Reiki healer, EMDR specialist, sound therapist, and mentor, exploring how mind, body, and soul alignment shows up in both her art and her mission.


    If you’ve ever felt boxed in by expectations or discouraged out of your calling, this episode will hit home.


    🔑 KEY TAKEAWAYS


    ✔️ Being “different” is often a sign you’re on the right path
    ✔️ Generational patterns can quietly suppress creative gifts
    ✔️ Silencing your voice comes at an emotional cost
    ✔️ Healing and creativity are deeply connected
    ✔️ Touring ain’t glamorous, growth happens in the struggle
    ✔️ Confidence is built before validation shows up
    ✔️ You don’t need permission to answer your calling



    💬 BARS FROM THE EPISODE


    🔥 “Depression is your true self trapped in a box trying to get out.”
    🔥 “I heal people whether it’s through music, sound, or energy.”

  • Breaking Barriers: Understanding & Overcoming Internal Resistance

    Breaking Barriers: Understanding & Overcoming Internal Resistance
    Nov 11 2025

    🎙️ Sculpt N Create — Episode 17 w/ Kam Knight



    In this powerful and eye-opening episode, Trea Da Fit Artist chops it up with international speaker, author, and mental performance mentor Kam Knight to break down a hidden force holding many creatives back: internal resistance.



    Kam unpacks how our minds quietly sabotage our best intentions, why talented artists and entertainers often struggle to take action, and how past experiences, perfectionism, self-image, and unconscious beliefs all contribute to the invisible wall we hit when chasing our dreams.



    From comfort zones to childhood programming, Kam explains how identifying and working through resistance is the key to unlocking real progress... not just in art and business, but in fitness, health, and everyday life.



    This one’s a must-listen for any creative who’s ever felt stuck, paralyzed by fear, or unsure why they can’t move forward. Expect real talk, deep gems, and tools that can shift your whole mindset.



    🎯 Key Takeaways:



    • Desire doesn’t equal action.. resistance blocks follow-through.

    • Artists often struggle more due to fear of feedback or visibility.

    • Perfectionism is resistance disguised as high standards.

    • Deep-rooted beliefs from childhood & trauma can hold us back.

    • The brain prefers familiar, even when it’s unhealthy.

    • Resistance peaks right before breakthroughs.

    • Self-talk and repetition reprogram the unconscious mind.

    • Success is harder to maintain than to achieve.

    • Growth requires momentum more than perfection.



    💎 Bars from the Episode:



    “Desire doesn’t equal action.”
    “Perfectionism is resistance in disguise.”
    “You can’t fix what you don’t realize is broken, but your resistance knows.”
    “Success is not the finish line... it’s the entry point to sustainability.”
    “The brain doesn't care if it's good or bad... it just wants familiar.”

Together, they explore how to maintain connection while growing individually, how emotional strain shows up in the body, and why communication is maintenance, not something you only do when things fall apart.Whether you're an artist, entertainer, entrepreneur, or someone navigating love while chasing your vision, this one is going to hit home.🎯 Key TakeawaysNot everyone needs clinical therapy — coaching supports growth before crisis.Understanding the difference between clinical depression & overwhelm is essential.Mental health stigma still prevents many from seeking help.Emotional stress often shows up physically — the mind and body are connected.Proactive relationship maintenance prevents emotional distance.Communication ain't about being right, it’s about staying connected.Silence in a relationship is usually a signal, not comfort.Shared goals keep relationships aligned during growth.Work-life balance requires clarity, communication & intention.Creativity thrives when you have community and emotional safety.🎤 Bars From the Episode“Communication ain't just talking, it’s maintaining the connection.”“Love doesn’t collapse under ambition; it collapses under silence.”“If we’re growing, we have to grow together.”“Your relationship can be your peace or your pressure... it depends on how you communicate.”“We don’t wait on a breakdown to go to the gym, so why wait to maintain the relationship?”🕰️ Episode Chapters00:00 Introduction to Allison Bonilla 03:17 Transitioning from Psychotherapy to Coaching04:30 Understanding Professional Life Strategy07:56 The Distinction Between Therapy and Coaching09:36 Recognizing Clinical Depression11:53 Stigmas Surrounding Mental Health14:28 Mental Health in the African American Community16:54 The Connection Between Mental and Physical Health19:10 The Role of Faith in Mental Health22:30 Navigating the Path to Seeking Help26:03 Allison's Journey into Therapy29:29 Relationship Coaching for Artists and Entrepreneurs32:47 Understanding Relationship Dynamics33:39 The Shift from Counseling to Coaching35:20 Identifying Relationship Challenges37:43 The Importance of Communication in Relationships39:22 Proactive Relationship Maintenance40:51 Engaging Conversations for Connection44:13 Navigating Long-Distance Relationships47:43 The Value of Commitment and Communication49:29 Balancing Careers and Relationships55:11 The Role of Communication in Relationship Success58:52 Navigating Relationship Insecurities01:03:37 Balancing Family and Career01:10:07 The Role of a Professional Life Strategist01:16:11 Communicating for Success01:22:10 The Importance of Community and Connection01:27:19 Introduction to the Podcast and Community Engagement🌐 Connect with Allison Bonilla🌍 Website: https://www.allisonbcoaching.com🌱 Garden of Growth Program: https://www.allisonbcoaching.com/garden-of-growth-2025.html📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/allisonbcoaching/▶️ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@allisonbcoaching💼 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/allison-bonilla-lcsw/🚀 Connect with Trea Da Fit Artist💪🏾 Coaching & Training: https://nextworldfitness.com🎨 Creative Network: https://fit-masterpiece-collabs.mn.co/🎧 More Episodes: https://creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/sculptncreate🎤 Be a Guest on the PodcastArtists, entertainers, creatives, or wellness pros with a story to share?👉🏾 Apply here: https://pocketsuite.io/form/dxOo
