How do we find the strength and focus to get through creative projects without giving up? Risa Williams speaks to author and actor Andrew Lawston about creative persistence and different tools we can use when we want to give up halfway through creative projects. They discuss their work together on the new audiobook, The Ultimate Self-Esteem Toolkit, the process of making it together, and they. also share a short excerpt from the book.

In this episode, they discuss:
-Finding accountability and support to navigate the creative process
-Ways both of them use tracking and pacing during long creative projects
-How to "trick your brain" into doing creative tasks it doesn't want to do
-How to "prime your brain" to get ready to be creative each day

If you sometimes feel all on your own and lost in your own head with big projects you're working on, then this is the episode for you!
