In this episode, we dive into the hidden reason why you might be feeling drained as an artist. It’s not just about physical exhaustion — it’s a conflict between the old version of you, rooted in your subconscious, and the new version of you, which your conscious mind is embracing. This internal ‘short circuit’ can drain your creative energy and block your artistic potential. But don’t worry! I’ll guide you through a powerful exercise designed to help you reprogram your subconscious mind, align with your new identity, and manifest the artist you’ve always been meant to be.
