In this mini-episode, I share a few thoughts that may inspire you in your creative work. First, are you creating content that people would miss if you stopped sharing? It's a great question inspired by Seth Godin. I think about it a lot when I'm creating content. Second, do what makes you better. These are the words that fell out of my mouth while I was journaling the other morning. Listen to this episode and let me know what you think.

Who are you? What do you want? These are two questions Donnie Tuttle encourages people to ask themselves during different phases of their lives. We're constantly learning, growing, and becoming. In this episode, we talked about collaboration, handling fear, being addicted to work and productivity, and more. We explored judgment and shame around the creative process and how to give yourself creative power.

At the end of the show, Donnie asked Kate for a bit of coaching. He wants to be a generous artist unafraid of sharing his work with the world. He holds himself back and needs a little push. If you're scared to share your work or creative project, I hope the conversation inspires you to get it out. The world needs your idea.

There's something really exciting about incorporating a challenge to help you build a new habit. She also challenges you to turn one piece of content into three to five. If you're already investing time into creating one video, article, or post, think about how much better it will be when you turn it into multiple pieces of content to share online. Are you up for the challenge?
