How to Manage Being Misunderstood as a Creative is a reflective episode about what it really feels like to be an artist in public—and misunderstood in both digital and real-life spaces.

From awkward offline conversations to harsh online comments, unsolicited feedback, and the quiet sting of gallery rejections, this podcast explores the emotional labor behind showing your work in a world that doesn’t always know how to receive it. It speaks honestly about misinterpretation, projection, and the pressure to constantly explain your vision, your choices, or your worth.

Rather than offering empty motivation or “how-to” formulas, this show centers on self-trust, resilience, and creative integrity. It’s about learning how to filter feedback without hardening your heart, how to survive rejection without shrinking your voice, and how to keep making work even when recognition feels out of reach.

This podcast is for artists who are sensitive, opinionated, and deeply committed to their work—those who refuse to dilute themselves just to be understood.
