Listen "Episode 01: Dealing with writer's block"
Episode Synopsis
Welcome to the first episode of Creative Mindset!
We're kicking things off by diving into a huge topic: writer's block. If you've ever felt stuck, uninspired, or completely unmotivated - and let's be honest, who hasn't? - join me in exploring what that's all about. Instead of offering a one-size-fits-all fix, we'll observe what's going on with curiosity and compassion and peek beneath the label called "writer's block".
In this episode:
Why “writer’s block” is a vague umbrella term
How labeling your experience too quickly can keep you stuck
How to notice your specific patterns, thoughts, and behaviors
The surprising role of desperation and inner pressure in creative stagnation
How curiosity and observation can help you gently unstuck yourself
