Idea Graveyard

"The idea graveyard isn't proof of my failure. It is proof that I am alive and creative."

Every creative has one. The half-finished projects, the abandoned plans, the supplies still in the bin with the tags on. We just don't talk about it.

In this episode, Lisa gets honest about her own graveyard, the costumes, the felting disaster of 2021, and the shed full of marketplace furniture,  and flips the script on what it all actually means. You'll walk away seeing your unfinished ideas not as proof you're flaky, but as memorials to your curiosity and every time you had the courage to ask what if.
