Enjoy this episode from the archives that first aired April 2024.


This episode covers paralyzing effects of shame following unsuccessful attempts in creative endeavors. In this conversation I share personal stories of false starts, from a dormant Instagram account to a short-lived Patreon, and provide practical steps for overcoming the internal struggles and negative self-talk that often accompany these experiences. Through a blend of personal reflection and expert insights, this episode offers a path to forgiveness, courage, and the opportunity to embrace second chances without the burden of shame.
