An Inspired Chat with elisa albrich of LA and Germany

We’re looking forward to introducing you to elisa albrich. Check out our conversation below.

Good morning elisa, it’s such a great way to kick off the day – I think our readers will love hearing your stories, experiences and about how you think about life and work. Let’s jump right in? What do you think others are secretly struggling with—but never say?
I believe many people carry similar struggles, even if they don’t openly talk about them. Often they are quiet, internal challenges that stay beneath the surface. Many people feel disconnected from their everyday lives and try to cope in different ways when their routine doesn’t truly align with who they are. Some remain in situations, whether financial or emotional, that don’t fully fulfill them, not because they lack awareness, but because being alone or stepping into the unknown can feel intimidating. I also think many people struggle with caring for themselves consistently, whether through health, discipline, or listening to their bodies, which often reflects their relationship with themselves. At the core, I believe many people are afraid to fully be themselves. When someone expresses their inner world openly, it can stand out and act like a mirror, gently reflecting things others may not yet be ready to face. I don’t see this as something negative, but as a very human process of learning how to live more truthfully.

Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
I’m Elisa Albrich, a content creator and creative artist. My work is very diverse — I constantly switch styles, aesthetics, and moods, ranging from 50s to emo style everything someone can imagine. I express myself through different creative outlets, including playing the drums and house music, working on new songs right now …

What makes my content unique is its versatility and freedom. I don’t limit myself to one image or category — I enjoy exploring contrasts, whether that’s softness and strength, elegance and edge, or sensuality and artistry. For me, sexiness is not about provocation, but about confidence, energy, and self-expression.

Amazing, so let’s take a moment to go back in time. What did you believe about yourself as a child that you no longer believe?
I used to believe that I had to fit into a predefined system in order to be successful. As a child, I learned that functioning well meant following rules, not standing out too much, and moving through life in a very linear way , school, degrees, training, and then work. While education has its value, I no longer believe that there is only one correct path.

Over time, I realized that the system doesn’t really teach you how to navigate life, discover your strengths, or build something meaningful on your own. It doesn’t encourage curiosity, individuality, or seeing the world beyond structure and routine. I wanted to explore, to experience life, and to understand myself beyond fitting into a mold.

Today, I believe success comes from self-trust, courage, and creating your own path, not from suppressing who you are in order to belong.

Was there ever a time you almost gave up?
There was a time when I came very close to giving up. I had spent almost ten years building my presence on social media, creating content every single day, long before it was seen as a real career. I was growing an audience, but the financial return didn’t match the effort, and it started to feel unsustainable.

At the same time, I was constantly hearing from people around me that it would never work, that I should get a “normal” job and let go of the idea. That doubt, combined with exhaustion, made me question everything I had built.

What kept me going was the realization that I wasn’t just chasing numbers — I was building skills, resilience, and a voice. I understood that growth doesn’t always show up immediately, and that sometimes persistence is the quiet difference between giving up and breaking through.

Next, maybe we can discuss some of your foundational philosophies and views? Where are smart people getting it totally wrong today?
I think one place where even very intelligent people sometimes get it wrong today is confusing knowledge with self-awareness. Being smart doesn’t automatically mean being emotionally honest or fulfilled. Many people are highly capable, articulate, and successful, yet disconnected from themselves.

When those inner gaps or feelings of emptiness are gently reflected back to them, it can feel uncomfortable or confronting. Instead of seeing it as an opportunity for growth, it’s often avoided or rationalized away. Intelligence becomes a shield rather than a tool for deeper understanding.

I believe true intelligence also includes the ability to sit with discomfort, to question oneself, and to acknowledge what’s missing , not just what’s impressive on the surface.

Okay, we’ve made it essentially to the end. One last question before you go. What do you understand deeply that most people don’t?
I think I deeply understand that many of our reactions are not really about the present moment, but about unresolved experiences we carry within us. People often believe they are reacting to situations or to others, when in reality they are responding to old emotions, fears, or unmet needs.

I also understand that emptiness, discomfort, or restlessness are not things to escape from, but signals asking for attention. Many try to silence them through distraction, achievement, or external validation, without realizing that these feelings are invitations to self-connection.

For me, growth begins when we stop running from what feels uncomfortable and start listening to it. That understanding has changed how I relate to myself, to others, and to life in general.
