Episode Synopsis

this episode is all about deconstructing and letting go of the pressure to “build an audience.” I’ll disentangle the practice of being an artist — from the byproduct of having an audience — and share how finding freedom from that pressure creates a well of personal power (and paradoxically, will magnetize your audience). we'll explore:

three sources of pressure: (1) artist recognition as legitimacy (2) the digital age of visibility (3) the inner artist child
a core guiding question to distill your commitment to your art
the practice of power as seeing yourself — and the other
reframing the audience as witness & travel companion to your journey

additional resources:
build a world, not an audience
the obscurus as a wounded artist child
