ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Oh lordy this is a big one for my artists and creative folk.
I asked my audience on IG to name some of the grievances they carry having chosen the artist's life, or from not feeling allowed to chose the artist's life. Ugh, devastating. You're responses were gutting, and very universal. So here's my hot take on each of them. Spoiler, it's a lot of tough love. So go make your art.
Some topics covered:
- feeling too broke to do the kind of art you wish you could make
- feeling like your ship has sailed, and comparing yourself to other people who achieved 'success' early on in their journey
- feeling robbed of a childhood where free, playful expression could be fully explored
- fear around not having a clear direction - too many ideas and paralysis on where to start, overwhelm overwhelm overwhelm.
