Feeling stuck is a universal struggle, especially for those of us engaged in creative pursuits.
I've grappled with the paralyzing sensation that often spirals into self-doubt and fear. Can we reclaim our creative freedom when it feels like our talents are slipping away? I believe we can. Together, let's confront these lies and shift our mindsets to embrace the full potential of our creative gifts. Let me share my own journey, including a significant move from New York to Texas, and how it taught me to recognize external fears while reminding myself of my resilience and skills.

Inspired by my collaboration with Stefan Sagmeister, I’ve discovered how embracing seemingly foolish ideas can lead to brilliance. I want to share how shedding doubt and turning to unexpected, goofy solutions can fuel creativity and innovation. Our weirdness is a gift—let’s use it to navigate our creative journeys with renewed confidence and joy.
