Today I'm sharing what I've learned over the last 30 days - and I share why a 30 day creative challenge might be the right next step for your big idea.

Negative feedback is something that every writer, designer, musician and artist will face (and so will everyone else, to be honest), so it’s important to learn how to separate yourself from what you create or what you do so that you can build a boundary between what YOU believe about your art - and what other people may say about it. We're unpacking the feelings and the lessons in today's bonus episode.

Join best selling author, knitwear designer and creative coach, Marie Greene, for today's cheerful dose of creative inspiration. Today's topic: Getting started! We put a lot of barriers in our own way. We might believe that we need more skills, better supplies, more instruction, more time, more of something in order to do that thing that we’re inspired to create. 

But the truth is, all we really have to do is start.

From the outside, witnessing someone else’s journey might make it seem like the process should be easier, faster, or more ideal than it really is. If you ever find yourself comparing your progress or your journey, or feel like struggle might be a sign that you’re on the wrong path, today’s episode is for you. We’re talking about why even the right creative path will come with its share of challenges and roadblocks, and why there’s peace of mind in managing our own expectations. Just because it’s not easy doesn’t mean you’re not headed in the right direction.
