EP 12: The Comparison Trap – When Other People’s Wins Shrink Yours

In this episode, we’re talking about one of the most common creative blocks: comparison. Why do other people’s wins sometimes make us feel smaller? Why does it feel like there’s never enough room for everyone to succeed? And how can we stop spiraling when we see someone doing what we wish we were doing? Whether you’re a musician, artist, writer, or any kind of creator, this episode offers a grounded conversation on comparison culture and how to stay rooted in your own path.  Listen now on Spotify, Apple, YouTube or wherever you get your podcasts.

EP 11: “When feedback hurts” – Handling Criticism as a Creative

Why does feedback sometimes feel like rejection? Why do certain comments echo in our heads for years? In this episode, I open up about the emotional side of receiving criticism as a creative. I talk about a rule I’ve set in my Patreon community—no unsolicited feedback—and why it’s helped artists feel safe to share. I also reflect on how a comment I received in my early 20s changed the course of my artistic identity. This is for anyone who’s ever made something they loved, only to question it after hearing someone else’s opinion. You’re not too sensitive. You’re just human. New episodes every Wednesday.

In this episode of I Was Just Thinking, I talk about the quiet years—when you're putting everything into your work, and no one seems to notice. I share my personal stories from early YouTube days, the heartbreak of low stats, and what I’ve learned about staying motivated even when the audience hasn’t arrived yet. If you’ve ever felt like you’re creating into a void, this one’s for you.
