How To Be Famous with Whitney Uland

This week on How to Be Famous, I’m joined by manifestation coach and transformational guide Margot Miller, and this conversation went to places I didn’t expect in the best way.

Margot’s story is wild — she spent 10 years bedridden with a neurological illness, was told by doctors she might die, and eventually rebuilt her life from the ground up. What happened next? She followed a pull toward purpose, started sharing online, and in less than two years built a brand reaching hundreds of thousands of people.

We talk about the reality behind “quantum leaps,” the hidden resistance that shows up when you’re called to something big, and why sometimes the scariest thing isn’t failure… it’s actually stepping into the life you want.

We also get into manifestation, subconscious reprogramming, ancestral patterns, and the relationship between visibility, purpose, and identity.

And yes… at one point Margot literally coaches me through my own dream of winning an Oscar on the podcast.

If you’ve ever felt like you know you’re meant for something bigger but can’t quite close the gap between where you are and where you want to be, this episode is for you.

• Margot’s “corpse to CEO” story and how illness changed her life path
• Why many people find their purpose at rock bottom
• The resistance that shows up when you’re meant for something bigger
• How subconscious programming affects manifestation and visibility
• The surprising relationship between spirituality and money
• Ancestral patterns and how they influence success and ambition
• Why visibility wounds often show up as insecurity about looks
• The mindset shifts required to create “quantum leap” moments
• Why purpose often lives in the thing that scares you the most

This week’s episode feels like a goodbye and a rebirth all at once.

I’m sharing what it looks like to say farewell to an old identity — the version of me that got me here — and step into the next era of my life, my art, and my business.

It’s my birthday week (Pisces queen energy ✨), and I’ve been reflecting on what it really means to grow, evolve, and let go… especially when life is good. When you’ve built something you love. When you finally feel safe — and you’re still being called to burn the ships and trust what’s next.

In this episode, I talk about:

🔥 The process of releasing old versions of myself (without burning my whole life down)
💫 How I’m learning to tell the difference between intuition, fear, and frustration
🧠 Why resistance is actually proof that you’re expanding
🎬 Why I decided to pause my YouTube show — and the new creative project that downloaded the moment I did
💖 How to stop waiting for someone else to “pick” you and start becoming your own big break

This conversation is for anyone who’s felt the pull to evolve — to take up more space, to be seen in new ways, to start again without starting over.

Because the truth is, every time I’ve surrendered an old identity, something even more aligned has rushed in to take its place.

So if you’ve been waiting for a sign to trust your next leap — this is it.

🎧 Listen when you’re ready to remember: you were right about yourself all along.

This week, I sat down with one of my favorite humans and one of the smartest creators on the internet — my friend Cat Goetze (@askcatgpt).

We talked about what it really takes to turn creativity into a scalable business, how to stop waiting for permission, and why “climbing Cringe Mountain” might just be your next rite of passage as a creator.

Cat shared her journey from Stanford to Silicon Valley to full-time creator and founder — and the wild story behind launching Physical Phones, her viral hardware startup turned creator-powered case study. She opened up about the tension between being “the talent” and “the boss,” the masculine/feminine energy dance of running a company while staying in flow, and how she’s redefining entrepreneurship through CAT Labs, her newest venture building products and creative experiments at the intersection of art and tech.

We also got real about leadership, letting go of control, and how good-hearted people claiming the resource of fame is one of the most radical things we can do right now.

This one’s equal parts business masterclass, creator therapy session, and cosmic pep talk for anyone who’s ready to create their own lane instead of waiting to be picked.

This week, I got to sit down with my dear friend, author, artist, and coach Toranj Kayvon — and as usual, our conversation went deep.

We talked about what it really means to become self-led instead of survival-led — and how so many of us chase “legitimacy” through external achievements instead of embodying the truth that we already are worthy.

Toranj shares the story of how her U.S. visa denial became the divine detour that led her to create her most powerful work yet — Radiate, a program designed to help creatives regulate their nervous systems, reconnect to their power, and express legitimacy from within instead of trying to prove it.

We also explore:


The difference between inadequacy and illegitimacy — and how collapsing the two keeps artists stuck


How to navigate rejection as divine protection (and why it’s proof you’re being redirected toward your purpose)


The spiritual and scientific roots of authorship, expansion, and worthiness


And the skill of holding both disappointment and faith when your dream doesn’t unfold the way you expected

This one’s for anyone who’s ever thought, “Maybe I’m not cut out for this.”
Spoiler: you are. And as Toranj reminds us — your desire itself is evidence that the reality already exists.

Hey future celeb — it’s Whitney!

In this episode, I’m joined by my dear friend and creative powerhouse, Sebastian Cail — a singer, songwriter, and filmmaker fresh off of our Sundance run. We sat down to unpack all things art, evolution, and what it really means to stay grounded when you’re living a thousand lifetimes in Los Angeles.

We talk about:
✨ Why the creative timeline feels like “LA years” (aka living ten lives in one)
✨ How Sundance cracked open new layers of identity and artistic purpose
✨ The spiritual weirdness of success — and learning to celebrate your own expansion
✨ Utah food hot takes (yes, we get into Swig, Café Rio, and sugar cookies)
✨ What it means to build a career that’s both sacred and self-directed

This conversation is raw, real, and so full of creative wisdom. Whether you’re an artist navigating your next chapter or just craving permission to evolve, this one’s for you.
