What if the biggest thing standing in the way of your art is the story you keep telling yourself?
This week on Pain In The Arts, we dive into the ‘untrustworthy narrator’ in our own heads and explore how outdated assumptions hold back our art practices and careers. We talk about separating your identity from your work, learning to say no, and fighting for your creative time. (Featuring a one-armed neighbour, a near-disastrous winery set, and a lesson on Main Character Energy).
Listen if you:
- Suspect the voice in your head has been answering your creative questions using old, outdated data.
- Need a gentle push to stop talking yourself out of your next creative move and start protecting your time.
- Feel like you’re navigating the gap between knowing what to do in your creative life and actually doing it.
Pain In The Arts is a weekly podcast about the reality of creative life — hosted by Breallyn and Lyndon Wesley.
