What you make matters. The moments of thought, experimentation, and persistence are just as vital as the creation itself. Your work matters because it contributes something real, however simple or intricate, to the world.
Discover how to move past fear and resistance with insights inspired by Steven Pressfield and Julia Cameron. This episode unpacks the creative journey, offering practical advice for doing the work and embracing your unique process.
I’ve been self-gatekeeping my whole life—telling myself ‘that’s not for me’ as a way to avoid the risk of being judged or failing. But I’ve decided it’s time to stop. Today, I faced one of my biggest fears: I put my face on TikTok, talking to the camera, and hit post. It wasn’t perfect—my mouth is wide open on the cover image—but I left it up anyway. For me, this is about lifting the gate and showing up, even when it’s scary. So, let me ask you—what have you been holding yourself back from? What’s your version of lifting the gate?
Are you holding yourself back without realizing it? In this episode, we explore the concept of self-gatekeeping, why your unique perspective matters, and how to break free from self-imposed limits. Plus, updates on my creative projects!
