Let’s get real—being a creative isn’t all rainbows and masterpieces. In Creative Confessions: Gratitude Saved My Sanity, we’re spilling the tea on how practicing gratitude can keep you from losing your mind (and maybe even your spark).
We’ll chat about the messy moments, the near-burnouts, and how simply saying “thank you” (to yourself, the universe, or your favorite playlist) can shift everything. Think of this episode as your creative pep talk—with a side of humor and some real talk about staying sane in the chaos.
Grab a coffee (or wine, no judgment), and let’s dive in!
