Masterpiece

I haven’t painted in 2.5 years. I told myself all sorts of stories about why — not the right time, place, space. But underneath it all, I think I was blocked by something deeper. This week, I reflect on creative block, the fear of not knowing, and how I’m finding my way back to painting.

Psychologist Cass Seidler joins me to unpack two listener questions. Together, we explore why it can feel so hard to give yourself permission to go after what you want, how perfectionism, people-pleasing and uncertainty can keep us stuck, and why the things that make us feel most alive are still worth making space for.

This week, my friend Romy Galombik turns the microphone around as we reflect on 20 episodes of Masterpiece. We explore what creating the podcast has taught me about getting into the arena, overcoming the need to be liked, and why creating something meaningful is the right kind of hard.

This week I reflect on why so many of us want to create but feel like we can't, the cost of constant busyness, and the little flames inside we can't keep ignoring.
What is something you want to do that feels scary to say out loud?

Creating a life and art that feels true to you is like climbing a mountain. It can feel long, lonely and uncertain. But after six months of releasing Masterpiece, I'm realising that none of us are meant to do this alone. This is an episode about the cheerleaders who help us find the courage to keep going. And a thank you to everyone who has reached out, shared their story, and reminded me that there are people on the other side of this microphone!
