Art, Identity & Not Giving a F*ck - Shev Lunatics Inspiring Journey

This conversation is one of my favourites - because it’s with
someone who I know deeply. In this episode, I sit down with my
longtime friend Yevgeniya (aka Shev Lunatic), a brilliant
multidisciplinary artist who’s built her creative life outside
the system and on her own terms.


We talk about absolutely everything - our teenage chaos, artistic
burnout, vulnerability, and what it takes to keep going when
you’re constantly reinventing yourself. Shev opens up about her
nomadic lifestyle, her creative philosophy, and why New York
finally feels like “home.”





We also dive into:


ADHD as a creative superpower (and how it brought us closer)


️ Building community from scratch in a new city


Why real connection beats credentials


Letting go of perfectionism and just making


The emotional cost of creativity - and how to manage it


Her surprising relationship with ChatGPT and how she uses AI in
her work





If you’ve ever felt like you don’t quite fit the mold, or you’re
trying to figure out how to live more creatively, well then this
one’s for you.
