June 13, 2025 Episode 8 - Allowing The Mystery
Send us a text
Hey everyone! In this episode we're chatting through part 3 of Steven Pressfield's The War of Art. One of the biggest things in this episode that we're talking about is looking at your art as something that should be shared, not kept to yourself (most of the time). So when you KNOW it's time to share, you KNOW, and you need to listen to that.
