The Gremlins Of Resistance

Listen Later

In this episode, I dive into good-old resistance when it comes to creativity. From Stephen Pressfield’s “The War of Art” to my own struggles of sitting down and doing the work.

If you’ve ever felt the pull of procrastination or the nagging voice saying “why bother?”—well, same!

I cover things like:

  • How resistance sneaks in before and after committing to something creative (and how your brain is basically full of 💩).
  • How I'm trying to get out of these inner patterns by recognizing them.
  • My weird love for planning systems even though creativity doesn’t care about control.
  • How I’m experimenting with live looping and remixing my own song “Alive” (spoiler: it’s messy and frustrating but worth it).


    • Feeling stuck? Just take one small step. Doing the thing is the point.
