402 - Why Crafting Perfect Creative Work is Backfiring and How to Break Free

How shedding inauthentic layers in your practice can lead to true connection - In this episode, we dive into the struggles of constructing the perfect creative image and how it can hinder genuine connections. Drawing inspiration from the classic (yet problematic) movie Grease alongside personal experiences, we explore the importance of letting go of layers that prevent true self-expression. Tune in to discover how embracing your authentic self, even at the risk of being uncool, can lead to deeper resonance with your audience and the creative breakthroughs you've been longing for. This episode is a must-listen for artists and creators seeking to make meaningful connections through their work.
