We’re primed at a young age to believe that we need to be good at something to do something, but that’s not how building skill mastery works, friend! There’s a huge difference between not having the skills to do something and not having the confidence to do it.

So, it really doesn’t matter if you’re taking up writing, painting, cooking, or making music, Caitlin emphasizes that nobody gets it perfect on the first try, and that's 100% okay! What’s important is how your art makes you feel.

Inspired by a conversation with their partner and fellow writer in their writing incubator program, join us as Caitlin explores the importance of practice, playfulness, and the willingness to make mistakes in any creative pursuit.

You Will Learn:

- The difference between lacking skill vs lacking confidence

- The importance of practice and willingness to make mistakes

- The concept of quantity vs quality over time

- Challenges faced by disabled and neurodivergent individuals in creative pursuits

- The value of learning from others and being part of a supportive community
