Why do we make things — even when we’re tired, busy, or not sure they’ll go anywhere?

In this first episode of Overworked, Under Creative, I talk through the quieter reasons behind making things — not for productivity, success, or validation, but because sometimes creating is how we process, survive, and make sense of ourselves.

This isn’t about goals or outcomes.

It’s about the pull to make something, even when you don’t fully understand why.

If you’ve ever felt the urge to create without a clear reason — this episode is for you.
