Self doubt is part and parcel of every creative process, from a questioning flicker to a persistent period of darkness. Self doubt is the fearful child lost in the unknown, lacking the self trust and self belief that they can navigate their way through.

In this bitesized episode we explore:

  • What self doubt is.

  • Why and how it crops up in the creative process.

  • The small whispers of doubtful thoughts that chip away at our self worth.

  • The effect of self doubt on a creative career or business.

  • Self doubt leading to Imposter Syndrome.

  • Self doubt leading to self sabotage, self loathing, anxiety and depression and existential anxiety.

  • Some practical ideas to help us manage self doubt and build confidence and courage in the path of creating.
