What happens in the middle of the creative process—when the excitement fades, the work becomes repetitive, and you’re not quite sure where it’s going?

In this episode of My Art is My Voice, Rebecca and Tom explore what they call the middle muddle—that in-between space where most of the real work happens.

This conversation moves through the many layers of being an artist:


– The repetition and uncertainty that show up in the middle


– The vulnerability of sharing your work—and the fear that comes with it


– The tension between creating for yourself and seeking approval


– How feedback (positive or negative) can shift how you see your own work

They also reflect on:


– Being recognized as an artist in public


– The difference between making art and selling it


– Finding your creative community (and protecting your energy)


– The balance between light and dark—and choosing a middle path


– The reality that most artists don’t fully know what they’re doing

Along the way, they talk about creative habits, taking breaks to reset, and how everything in art is built in layers over time.

At its core, this episode is about staying in the process—continuing to show up, even when it feels uncertain, exposed, or unfinished.

Because creativity isn’t just about outcomes—it’s about what happens to you while you’re in it.
