it's about to get messy, y'all. in this episode, I investigate why I don't feel like creating, neither my book nor music, & reflect on the last time I felt this way. maybe the 'not wanting to create' is a part of the process? part of the mess? also, what can I change or in what ways can I pivot in my routine? of course, perfectionism, fear & productivity-beliefs rear their beautiful heads. join me in this open investigation into the depths of my messy, creative heart.

procrastination is so present for me at the moment. in this episode I share how it's showing up, why it's there (hint: has something to do with protecting us, just like aaalll the other egoic voices) & what I do to counteract it. I'm beginning to entertain the thought that I might already have everthing it takes. that I'm actually already enough. despite the fear of what taking action could bring, despite never feeling completely READY, maybe we in fact ARE!

in this episode I go deeeep into my perfectionism. I explore in what ways it's showing up these days, how it's trying to protect me. I get into its links to over-preparing, procrastination (!!!), people pleasing & how it affects my mental health (hint; it's exhaaaaausting AF!) I also share which 'rules' I've implemented to override perfectionism, so I am able to actually create e.g. on IG & my songs.

self-doubt, perfectionism, trusting your gut & intuition--in this episode I finally share my insights from my conversation with Amie Mcnee. I get into the daunting next steps of my creative recovery; finishing my 'on hold for a year now' EP. I share how self-doubt & perfectionism have kept me from finishing, how intuition & gut are absolutely legitimate & necessary, & how it's time to transfer the 'shitty art' mindset, I've been practicing, onto this project--so I can finally finish!

this episode is aaaalll about receiving. what has that got to do with creativity, you ask? well, in this episode I talk about how hustling & struggling  has led me to burn-out time & time again. about why it doesn't work to give, give give. in order to -live- sustainably, it's becoming clear to me that I need support. & to let inspiration meet me halfway. listen in to learn why that for entails believing mirrors, ease & daring to let go.

welcome back after a short break! brace yourself for an episode all about the heartbreak surrounding failure. I rarely talk about it, but in this episode I go deep into how my music career has felt like utter failure up until my burnout in 2020. I talk about how the hustle & hardship still haunts me, how it's now is keeping me from finishing my next EP, & why heartbreak is the word that comes to mind.

I also talk about rest & share a story (or revelation, I might say) about anxiety & trauma. AND at the end I reveal a special GIVEAWAY that YOU can win! YAY!

y'all, brace yourselves for some shameless marveling! closing on a milestone that is episode 50 of this podcast, I recap everything I've gone through, achieved & transformed these last 3 months. I talk about how consistent small goals have changed by process completely. I talk about how I've gone from not even knowing IF I wanted to compose to now finishing song no. 5, how I've somehow written a first draft of a book I didn't even KNOW I was gonna write, when I first launched this podcast. things change with every tiny step, y'all. they all count.
