Description
Somewhere along the way, creating slowly turned into collecting.
In this episode of Exposure Therapy, I unpack something I’ve been avoiding for a long time… my relationship with gear, identity, and the quiet pressure to prove I belong in this industry.
For years, cameras, gimbals, lights, drones were proof that I was legitimate. Proof that I was enough in this world of film. But when the shelves get full and the storage unit starts collecting dust, you’re forced to ask harder questions.
Is it about creativity… or consumption? Is it about growth… or fear? And what happens when you realize you might already have everything you need?
This isn’t a “don’t buy gear” video. It’s a reflection on intention, attachment, and redefining what enough looks like. So if you’ve ever felt behind, overwhelmed, or quietly anxious in a world that’s always upgrading, this one’s for you.
