We recently connected with Thea Ny and have shared our conversation below.
Thea, appreciate you joining us today. What was the most important lesson/experience you had in a job that has helped you in your creative career?
One of the most important lessons I’ve learned that’s helped me along the way is to just put content out there. It doesn’t have to be right or perfect because you’ll eventually figure out what’s right for you. The longer you try to perfect something, you’ll never have anything to show or know what works. .
I learned this while at a content creatives meet-up and had been feeling stuck in the process. A local video creator who had become successful in his own right with a local TV show and vlog shared that the only way he learned and got more. recognition was just by putting videos out.
Thea, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?
I’m a food and travel blogger who has recently become a mom so, I’m currently shifting gears slightly as a mom blogger of sorts. I try to share local food stops, recipes, and places to travel to. Sometimes I feature my child on my blog/posts sharing kid-friendly places to visit and our many adventures.
The one thing I feel that sets me apart is I also like to highlight other food lovers, mostly local enterurpers, whether they are food bloggers, creatives, or real estate agents.
Can you share a story from your journey that illustrates your resilience?
The pandemic hit me hard in trying to produce work. The world shut down. Food and travel was limited, and I almost lost inspiration to keep creating. But then I got pregnant and that helped me open to new ideas of what to share. With the help of a good friend and mentor, I eventually took a step back and broke down every single category of what I wanted to share.
For you, what’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative?
Being able to continue to create and learn and be inspired.
