Have you ever been overwhelmed by the idea of starting something new, only to find yourself stuck in a creative rut? That's exactly where I found myself as I embarked on my journey to start a YouTube channel. Join Julian and me in this special episode of Better Together, where we tackle the all-too-common issue of creative paralysis and help each other reconnect with our original vision and desire for playfulness and authenticity.

Throughout our candid conversation, we uncover the importance of treating our YouTube channel as a playground for expressing our ideas and staying true to ourselves, despite the lure of optimization and keyword research. We also challenge ourselves to listen to our hearts, rather than solely following the advice of others, and to embrace the chaos and uncertainty that comes with starting something new.

As we remind ourselves to be kind and accepting of the obstacles that will inevitably appear on our journeys, we hope to inspire you to overcome your own creative paralysis. So grab your headphones, tune in to this unique coaching session, and let's rediscover the power of playfulness, authenticity, and following our hearts together. See you next week for another insightful episode of Better Together.
