31: the paradox of being sensitive โ part 1: creativity ๐๐ฅ๐จ๐ฅน
Manage episode 383740958 series 3402878
if youโve ever felt that the same sensitivity that makes you drawn to creative work also makes you TERRIFIED of starting, finishing or sharing yours โ this episode is for you.
the irony of this episode is more than i can express to you โ throughout this process i faced so much shame, fear and avoidance (particularly in the editing phase). i feel thereโs so much more to say and so much i wish i had said differently. but i'm telling myself that my inner critic is a LIAR, and & i'm choosing to let it be.
thank you today and always for being here on this journey with me. i hope that you receive my offering, and i hope my words take the shape of some of your wounds today.i hope you enjoy this episode, made with love <3

Key quotes from episode:
โOur sensitivity can be the water that hydrates and nourishes our creativity, or the water that drowns it.โ
