TURNING SURVIVAL INTO SELF-EXPRESSION
Figuring Sh!t Out exists as both a mirror and a movement for those navigating the uncertainty of modern life.
A reminder to embrace life’s highs and lows with curiosity instead of control. To meet the unknown with courage. To create with intention. And to trust that healing, growth, and self-discovery aren’t destinations -
they’re lifelong practices.
Through honest storytelling, conversations spanning ancient wisdom, modern psychology, neuroscience, and lived experience, FSO invites listeners to participate in the ongoing work of becoming: living creatively, loving life deeply, and embracing the beautiful mess of figuring it all out.

Hi, I’m Vanessa.
A writer, creative founder, & facilitator.
My work explores what it means to live creatively in an ever-changing world - to meet uncertainty with curiosity, create from authenticity, and use life’s challenges as invitations to grow.
At its heart, my work is about courage in motion: embracing both who we are and who we’re becoming, and creating a life that feels deeply our own - even while we’re still figuring sh!t out.
