Eps 054: Exercising visibility & creative joy w. Sarah Kleist

from The Designed Life · host Hollis M. M.

I’m so happy to have my new online friend turned IRL friend Sarah Kleist on the podcast today! Sarah is an actor, designer, web designer, and multi-passionate creative, and in our convo we explore what it really means to be a multi-hyphenate in today’s online entrepreneurial world.From holding multiple identities with confidence to using creativity as both a coping mechanism and a form of expression during uncertain times, Sarah shares how her career evolved from theater to web design during the pandemic, and how storytelling connects everything she creates.Together, we unpack visibility as a practice – not just for business growth, but as a way to expand self-expression, confidence, and presence in everyday life. We also dive into the relationship between creativity and joy, the power of showing up authentically, and why having fun might be the most underrated strategy for success.This episode is a reminder that your path doesn’t have to fit into one box—and that your art, in whatever form it takes, is enough.Connect with Sarah:Her websiteHer InstagramHer ThreadsHer Brand Photoshoot workshopMentioned:Alyssa LuiXanthe AppleyardConnect with me:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Astrology Readings // ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Life Coaching // ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Substack // ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Pinterest //⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Threads //⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website
