Confidence Isn't What You Think It Is (with Kristen Arnett)

Why You Can't Focus (And What Actually Helps)

Season 3, Episode 5 You don't have a discipline problem; you have an environment problem.  In today's episode, I'm breaking down how technology is designed to fragment your focus, and what you can actually do about it.  From phone habits to notifications to deep work (concept coined by the book Deep Work by Cal Newport), this is a practical guide to protecting your attention so you can create with clarity.

If You Don't Protect Your Creativity, No One Else Will

Season 3, Episode 4 In this episode, I'm breaking down the four types of boundaries that every creative person needs: mental, emotional, relational, and time.  Because most people don't lose their creativity due to a lack of talent; they lose it when everything else takes priority.  If you've been feeling scattered, drained, or pulled in too many directions, this episode will help you reclaim your focus and your energy so you can keep pursuing your most creative life.

What to Do When You're Tired (But Still Care About the Work)

There are seasons where creativity feels easy. And then there are seasons where it feels heavy.  In this episode, I'm talking about to do when you're tired, not necessarily of creating but of everything that comes with it. The waiting, the uncertainty, the feedback, the time it takes to bring something meaningful into the world.  If you've been feeling worn down or discouraged, or just not as energized as you used to be, this is your reminder: you don't have to do everything. You just have to do the next right thing.

The Long Game: Why Endurance Beats Intensity

Season 3, Episode 2 As humans, we're drawn to what's visible. The big launches, the early success. The people who seem to be crushing it right away.  But what if that's usually not what lasts?  In this episode, I'm sharing a moment from one of my yoga classes that completely reframed how I think about creative work, and why going all out in the beginning can actually work against you.  If you're building something that matters, this is your reminder: it's not about being the most impressive early on. It's about staying power.

When Too Much Advice Is Holding You Back

Season 3, Episode 1 At some point, more information stops helping and starts holding you back. In this episode, I’m talking about what happens when you take in too many resources while trying to grow creatively. Courses, books, podcasts, advice… and suddenly, instead of clarity, you feel confused, stuck, and disconnected from your own instincts. If you’ve ever found yourself second-guessing everything, comparing your progress, or feeling like you need one more course before you can move forward, this episode is for you. Because at some point, it’s not about more input. It’s about trusting yourself—and getting busy creating.
