49. Finding Courage

This weeks episode follows on from last week when Steph had a little meltdown. After giving her my best advice on overcoming her feelings of putting herself out there, in true human spirit I went ahead the next week and had pretty much the exact same meltdown. Yep, we’re keeping it real on this weeks podcast! In this conversation I come clean on what it means to take your own advice and we zone in on the notion of courage and why it’s so important to cultivate this quality as an artist. Some of this episodes key insights; Suse’s experience in regards to her own emotional spiral. How courage is a cycle. A wonderful story of opportunity coming from a courageous moment. Planning to take courage in the future. We'd love to hear from you if you're experiencing an 'edge' moment of your own so please reach out! Enjoy the episode!

Debbie Millman  Lisa Congdon’s ‘A Glorious Freedom’ Quotes from this episode : “When you’re in the throes of the emotion of the courage moment you had to take to make something exciting happen for yourself it’s so hard to see that that is will occur again and again on the road of creative business.” “The bit where artists doubt themselves and feel crippled by the idea of putting themselves out there in the world is not going away any time soon. It is a problem that we all share but we can all get better and better at it over time.” “People have a word of the year, I don’t have that practice but I find do that a word or a theme reveals it’s self. And now I wonder at the tail end of a very difficult 2020 for the world if ‘courage’ is what’s emerged from that?" - Steph
