If you’ve ever wondered why something you love — creating — can feel like pulling teeth to start, this is your episode. We’re unpacking the real reasons creativity feels so hard (hint: it's not because you're lazy or lack discipline) — and sharing practical mindset shifts and "biohacks" that will help you make creating feel easier, lighter, and even fun again.
We’re diving deep into:
✨ Why your brain naturally resists creativity — and how to outsmart it
✨ The myth of "laziness" and why you’re not broken
✨ Why perfectionism and fear of failure are wired into all of us
✨ The three questions that will instantly make creativity feel lighter
✨ How to flip the script on self-doubt and procrastination
This is a permission slip to be a messy, joyful, imperfect creative — and to stop making it so freaking hard on yourself.
🎧 Grab your coffee, and let’s talk about how to finally get out of your own way.
