The Unbound Creative

Why Creativity Feels Hard - And How to Make It Easier


Listen Later

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.
