I believe all have ideas inside of us that only we can bring to life. But when it comes to the doing part we often lose our way or we lose our nerve.

But what if, feeling lost was the way? What if our fear could actually be serving as a signpost - directing us towards a truer and more meaningful path in our creative life and work?

In this bitesized episode we look at:

  • My personal story of becoming the artist of my own life.

  • How ideas can show up as exciting, terrifying, or both.

  • Why we must give ourselves permission to be creative.

  • How the process requires that we both attach to the idea whilst also detach from the outcome.

  • How fear takes over and flips the attachment and detachment juggling act.

  • How the process is one experiment after the next.

  • Why having a supportive team is so important if we are to take a creative path.


Whether you're stuck on starting your creative path or stuck somewhere in the middle of it all, there'll be something in here for you.
