Create the Work of Your Life

What if believing you're special as an artist is actually holding you back? In this episode, Jordan Blaquera makes a provocative case that the idea of art — and artists — being uniquely special, mysterious, or reserved for the chosen few is one of the most limiting beliefs a creator can hold. Drawing on six problems with "special" thinking, Jordan explores how it clouds your judgment, fuels feelings of inferiority or superiority, disconnects you from others, and can leave you feeling like a victim of circumstances beyond your control. The antidote isn't lowering your standards — it's rooting your worth somewhere nothing can touch it. When you stop chasing specialness and start asking "what do I want to create with my time, energy, and resources?", something surprising happens: the work gets freer, more original, and more genuinely you.

Most artists focus on improving their skills and their work — but Jordan Blaquera argues there's a deeper layer that determines everything: your artist identity. In this episode, Jordan introduces the CORE framework (Circumstance-Optional, Reality-Optional) and makes the case that what you believe about yourself as an artist matters more than any external validation, sale, or review ever could. Drawing from her own journey out of deep self-doubt — and her experience co-founding the Create Anyway Collective (CAC) — Jordan walks through a set of powerful identity beliefs that artists can adopt and make their own. From "I can believe into the void" to "I am not my art," these aren't affirmations to repeat mindlessly, but genuine commitments that build the creative resilience to keep going when circumstances aren't cooperating. If you've ever waited for someone else to green-light your ideas, struggled to push through rejection, or quietly wondered whether your desire to create is enough of a reason to create — this episode is for you.
