  • EP 12: The Comparison Trap – When Other People’s Wins Shrink Yours
    Aug 27 2025

    In this episode, we’re talking about one of the most common creative blocks: comparison. Why do other people’s wins sometimes make us feel smaller? Why does it feel like there’s never enough room for everyone to succeed? And how can we stop spiraling when we see someone doing what we wish we were doing? Whether you’re a musician, artist, writer, or any kind of creator, this episode offers a grounded conversation on comparison culture and how to stay rooted in your own path.

  • EP 11: “When feedback hurts” – Handling Criticism as a Creative
    Aug 20 2025

    Why does feedback sometimes feel like rejection? Why do certain comments echo in our heads for years? In this episode, I open up about the emotional side of receiving criticism as a creative. I talk about a rule I’ve set in my Patreon community—no unsolicited feedback—and why it’s helped artists feel safe to share. I also reflect on how a comment I received in my early 20s changed the course of my artistic identity. This is for anyone who’s ever made something they loved, only to question it after hearing someone else’s opinion. You’re not too sensitive. You’re just human. New episodes every Wednesday.

This episode is for anyone who’s ever hated their work, questioned their skills, or felt like giving up.
