The Girl and Duck Podcast

Ep 050 When It’s All Too Much


Listen Later

Every now and then I receive a letter that’s frank and raw but oh so common. What happens when you feel fed up with striving? When the dream to become a published/successful author has taken its toll on you and your family?


If you’re questioning your choices, wondering if it’s all worth it, our 50th episode might be the balm you need.


This is not a rah-rah, you’ve got this, just-do-it, Nike commercial. It’s deeper than that. This ep is all about looking at the bigger picture, perhaps finding spiritual sustenance, to help you stay balanced (mostly!), centred and compassionate. I hope you find it helpful. And thank you to our ‘anonymous’ letter writer. You spoke for countless creatives with your complex ponderings!
