Inside an Identity Crisis...What DO I Want? A Diary Entry. Mar 23, 2022

Show notes

Today's episode is basically a diary entry....I am asking myself all the deep existential questions. Like what is life? What is Success? What is Creativity? Do I want the path I've Chosen? If no one hears or sees your work, did it even happen? AND WHY DON'T I KNOW ANYTHING AT ALL? Light stuff. But don't worry, there definitely are some comedic moments amongst the deep honesty and hard questions. You'll also hear a guest appearance from my boyfriend, Timmy, who helps walk me/walk with me through some of this, because it's a little heavy to tackle this deep confusion alone. In the end, there are some good takeaways about how to make sense of your life and creative exploits when everything seems to be confusing and/or up-in-the-air or if you're just having a straight up identity crisis. If you're going through it or even wanting to make a change and get honest with yourself, this is for you. ENJOY!!!
