He didn't text back, but he liked my story. We're basically engaged. #moderndaylovestory Collage artist: @leafandpetaldesign

During our conversation, Kelli and I dive deeper into creative conviction, letting go of validation, and trusting your own green light - even when no one else sees it yet. Full conversation is live on YouTube 🤍 👉 youtube.com/watch?v=igR_i9…

Hard truth I keep learning: You can’t convince someone to want what isn’t for them. Not in business. Not in creativity. Not in love. Are you building your vision… or waiting for permission? What would change if you stopped explaining yourself?

Kelli's interview is LIVE! There were so many incredible take aways from this interview - from making sure we don't focus on perfection & embrace the imperfection, to the pain of releasing our art to the world to really practical tips on how to get your work out into the world.

That’s Kelli - she built a career through detours, pauses, pivots, and “this wasn’t the plan but because it isn’t, it is the plan” moments. The full interview debuts on Thursday. Subscribe at the link in bio to watch the full episode and get notified when it comes out. ✨

I wanted to scratch what she did, start over and redo it. She ran with it, and taught me a lesson. It’s so hard for me not to want things to be perfect. She saw what was happening, and what was happening was explaining the concept in real time.
I love how she didn’t even flinch

How perfect. Kelli was explaining wabi-sabi - the beauty of imperfection, the crack that lets the light in and the idea that art can’t be perfect (that misses the point) — and right as she did, I couldn’t hold it in any longer. A little itch in the nose.

I can't wait for you to hear what she thinks is next for Hollywood (hint: it's not good), how Indie Filmmakers can benefit, and how to make the Oscars relevant again.... Episode drops tomorrow!

However, watching her path unfold — as a fellow scholarship-and-grant kid from Texas to Los Angeles making films, books, and businesses — has been quietly extraordinary.

Kelli McNeil-Yellen @kellimcneilyellen and I, Meagan Adele Lopez @meagan have known each other since college. We both started at USC as actors, trained to be in front of the camera, but both decided to go behind it.

By March, the channel evolved into a long-form interview series spotlighting fellow artists and creatives. Stay with us through to 2026! We can't wait to show you more magical realism memes. Thank you to all our partners and collaborators.

The early content focused on sharing practical insight: navigating creative blocks, building visibility without compromising integrity, and sustaining a creative practice over time.

One of the most significant decisions of 2025 was the intentional closure of a core service that had supported Lady Who Productions for over 15 years: social media management.
