In this mini episode
of I Like Your Work, I
talk about why waiting to feel “ready” or confident keeps so many
artists stuck and how planning your artistic
year while feeling
afraid can actually be the most honest place to
start.
This episode is for artists who:
Feel
overwhelmed when thinking about the year ahead
Struggle
with creative fear, doubt, or perfectionism
Want to
plan their art practice without burning out
Are ready
to make work even when clarity hasn’t arrived yet
You don’t need to eliminate fear
to move forward. You can do
it afraid.
I share simple, grounded ways to think about creative planning,
goal setting, and staying connected to your work—without pressure,
hustle, or unrealistic expectations.
Whether you’re planning a new
year, a new body of work, or just trying to show up consistently,
this episode offers a steady place to begin.
