Unleash Your Inner Creative with Lauren LoGrasso (A Creativity Podcast)

Have you been sitting on something you know you’re meant to share… and still not putting it out? Yeah. Me too.

This episode is a real, unfiltered look inside my creative life right now and into my literal diary. I share what I’ve been thinking about, what I’ve been struggling with, and the biggest shift that’s changing everything for me:

Choosing expression over perfection. And impressions. 

Because the truth is, most of us are not stuck because we are not talented enough. We are stuck because we are overthinking, comparing, waiting for the right moment, or trying to get everything perfect before we begin.

In this episode, I share why I’m finally releasing music I’ve been sitting on for years, when it’s coming out,  what my journaling practice is teaching me about creativity and anxiety, and how I’m learning to stop holding myself back and actually follow through on what matters.

Learn: 
-How to stop holding back your creativity and actually share your work 
-Why choosing expression over perfection can change your creative life 
-What to do when you feel overwhelmed, anxious, or creatively stuck 
-How to stop comparing and trust your own creative path 
-Why you do not need the “perfect moment” to begin

If you’ve been waiting for a sign to release the thing, start the project, or put yourself out there, this is it.

And if this episode resonates, it would mean so much if you shared it, left a rating and review, or sent me a message. I read everything and it really does keep me going.

Now go make the thing! I believe in you!

Have you ever known sending one email could change your life… and still didn’t hit send? Yeah. Same.

If you’re a creative who’s been waiting to be chosen or secretly hoping someone will just discover you, this episode is your loving nudge to stop waiting and start creating your own opportunities. To say YES to yourself and open the door to your dreams!

I’m talking with Carly Valancy, founder of Reach Out Party, who completely changed her life by doing one simple, very brave thing: Reaching out.
After committing to sending one email a day for 100 days, she went from struggling artist to booking major opportunities, working at Lincoln Center, and even performing on Broadway. Now she teaches creatives how to do the same.

We get into the fear, the overthinking, the “I don’t want to bother them” spiral, and how to move through it in a way that actually feels aligned with your creativity and sensitivity. Near the end of the interview, she said something about what to write in your outreach that FREED me and I know it will do the same for you!

Reaching out isn’t just a career move, if you let it, it can actually be a creative act. And it might just be what changes everything.

You'll Learn:
-How to email anyone, even if you’re scared to hit send
-A simple way to write emails that feel like you and actually get responses
-How to stop feeling cringy about it and start building real connection
-Why rejection is part of the creative process, not a reason to play small (and how to actually romanticize it!)

Have you ever felt creatively blocked and had no idea why? Lately, I found myself stuck on a project I knew I wanted to complete… and instead of forcing myself to push through it, I decided to ask a different question: Why am I actually blocked?

In this solo episode, I share the breakthrough I had when I finally stopped beating myself up about procrastinating and started getting curious about what was really going on underneath the surface.
What I discovered completely changed the way I think about creative blocks. Instead of seeing them as failures or signs that something is wrong, I started to realize they can actually be signals pointing us toward something important.

In this episode, I walk you through the six most common reasons creatives get blocked and how asking yourself the right questions can help you move forward with more clarity, compassion, and momentum.

If you’ve been putting off a creative project, feeling stuck, or wondering why something that matters so much to you suddenly feels hard to start, this episode is for you.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
• Why creative blocks are often signals rather than failures
• The six hidden reasons creatives get stuck
• How past experiences can quietly create resistance to new projects
• The difference between burnout and a creative block
• The one question that can help you get unstuck

In this episode, I welcome back Julia Cameron, author of The Artist’s Way, for our sixth conversation on Unleash Your Inner Creative. We talk about the enduring power of Morning Pages, how to silence the inner critic, and what creativity needs now in the age of AI.

Julia’s work has helped millions of people reconnect with their creativity and art, and in this conversation we go deeper into the tools that actually sustain a creative life. We talk about why Morning Pages remain one of the most powerful practices for creativity, how to work with your inner critic (Julia calls hers “Nigel”), and why play is essential for creative breakthroughs.

We also explore creativity during uncertain times, writing through fear and self-doubt, and how creativity evolves through major life transitions. Along the way, I share some personal news: that I’m pregnant and expecting my first child… and Julia offers beautiful wisdom about Motherhood and creativity.

If you’ve ever struggled with creative blocks or wondered how to stay creative through ALL of life, you’ll find Julia’s perspective is both grounding and inspiring.

In this episode we discuss:
• The real purpose of Morning Pages
• How to silence your inner critic
• Why creativity thrives through play and curiosity
• Julia Cameron’s thoughts on AI and creativity
• Writing through fear and self-doubt
• Creativity and motherhood
• The importance of “believing mirrors”

This is one of the most personal episodes I’ve ever recorded. I have an announcement...I’m pregnant. That's right, cutie! We're having a baby!

And in this episode, I’m sharing what this moment means not just in my life, but in my identity as a creative. For years, I’ve talked about creativity as something we make. The art. The ideas. The projects.

But this season is inviting me to rethink everything I thought I knew about purpose, growth, and what it really means to create something meaningful. This feels like the greatest creative project of my life so far, and I wanted to share it with you honestly and in real time.

In this episode, I talk about:
-The greatest lesson I’ve learned so far 
-The difference between preparation and pre-suffering 
-The creative expansion that motherhood can bring 
-The Power of letting yourself evolve in public
-PLUS: the full story of how I found out I was pregnant 

Thank you for being here with me. It means more than I can say.
