As we prepare for the launch of Season 3 of Creative Space on Sunday, October 20th, we’re continuing our special series replaying the top episodes from the first two seasons. These “fan-favorites” reflect the heart of the podcast—creativity, resilience, and personal transformation. Our goal is to honor the amazing guests who’ve shared their stories and offer fresh inspiration to new listeners.
Next up, we’re excited to feature Shab, an international pop star whose journey from refugee to chart-topping artist continues to inspire. When we first recorded this episode, Shab was on tour with Anastasia and had just released her hit single “Sexual.” Since then, she has continued her rise to fame, collaborating with hip-hop legend Fat Joe on the track “Voodoo,” which made waves on the Billboard charts and became one of the most Shazammed songs on Apple Music. Her latest single, “Afterglow,” is out now.
Episode Highlights:
- A Journey of Resilience: Shab shares her remarkable story, from fleeing Iran as a child to becoming a global pop star, overcoming immense challenges along the way.
- Empowerment Through Music: We explore the empowering messages in Shab’s music, particularly how she embraces and celebrates feminine energy to encourage women to own their worth.
- Healing Through Creativity: Shab discusses how music helped her process trauma and how creativity has been a vital tool in her healing and advocacy work.
- Collaborations and Success: Shab talks about her collaborations, including working with producer Damon Sharpe, and how her music continues to resonate deeply with fans around the world.
Shab’s journey is a powerful example of resilience, creativity, and staying true to oneself. From her beginnings as a refugee to her status as an international pop star, her story is filled with lessons about perseverance and the transformative power of art. It’s a reminder that no matter where you start, your passion can take you to incredible places.
I hope this episode resonates with you as much as it did with me.
Stay creative, and stay tuned for more top episodes as we approach the launch of Season 3 on October 20th!
