The biggest thing that holds creators + artists back: their own toxic expectations of themselves. What would happen if you decided you didn't need to be more talented, hard working, or in any way different than you are now? In our 200th episode I'm sharing 4 toxic expectations that are keeping you from your best creations yet and how to gently let them go. Let's explore what happens when you don't need to be better + you have everything you need to live your dream life–what you create will be better, and even more importantly: way more fun.

Multi passionate creators are some of the most tortured artists I've ever met– they never seem to be at peace with what they are doing, because they always have in the back of their minds the other creative lives they want to be living.
They worry that their disparate interests are a hindrance to their success, and they are concerned that if they integrate all their passions into their business or creative practice, they're gonna confuse people and be too scattered to make any headway in any one niche.
But I propose that multi passionate creators have some of the juiciest world-changing potential, because they are able to integrate different mediums and interests into a narrative that moves people in a way that singular creators can't. This episode includes a lot of behind the scenes details of my own multi passionate business, how I approach my interests, how I make money from them, which ones I choose to make money from, and how to incorporate all your interests into your business, if you want to. It's so much closer than you think.

Anytime people buy anything, they're buying a feeling. Plus, it feels so good to buy and sell feelings, and in this episode I'm sharing 8 feelings people are dying to buy from creators and how to think about your messaging and marketing to speak to these feelings in a way that is fun for you, too. Stop talking about the features and benefits of your creation–no one cares how long the photo shoot is or how many modules are in the course or what paper your work is printed on– start sharing the stories and moments that give your creations a heartbeat.

Wanting to quit happens to every creator. The tricky bit: sometimes it means something, and sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes you need to listen to the part of you that's ready to move on, and sometimes it's a warning sign that things need to shift just a little bit. Sometimes, you actually *should* quit. Whether you wanna quit every day, every month, or every year, this episode details specific exercises to help you manage it and help you decide whether you should quit + what action to take instead if quitting isn't the right move (or isn't possible right away).

We are obsessed with the idea that we should pick one dream or goal as early as possible and stick with it. We believe there will be incremental progress related to our hard work. But so many success stories aren't like that - they are a million 'wrong turns' seemingly unrelated ventures, and then one that explodes, one moment that it all comes together.
In this episode, I walk you through resilience and grit, and the importance of knowing the difference as a creative.

And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth.
And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?
Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.
