On the creative journey, it's easy to get lost, but don't worry, you'll lift off.

Sometimes you just need a creative Pempsah.

If you are overwhelmed by the state of your world, the world of the algorithm,

Instagram, what it's like trying to sell music in a world that nobody values where nobody

values music or maybe it's the government or just the state of the economic system or whether the economy's up or down or all of that stuff.

If you are overwhelmed by the place, the outer world that you find yourself in and it has caused you to

start and stop and continually give up and feel like just throwing out your creativity and your creative journey altogether.

This episode is for you.

I want to talk about the biggest shift that I had in my life that changed the way that I interact

with the outer world in such a way that I could keep going and keep making even in dire circumstances.

If you stick all the way to the end,

I am going to leave you with a tool

that is called story within the story. It's an exercise and it's going to help

you get the kind of distance from your life and your creative practice that helps you see the problem areas helps you see the

opportunities. Often this kind of distance is only made possible when you're

able to zoom out with a long vacation, but we all can't just stop what we're doing when we get

stuck or frustrated anytime we want.

And this tool can help you do that in just a few minutes.

Massive thanks to Square Space.

Square Space is an all-in-one website platform that makes making a website easy

peasy. For a moment creative websites were kind of looking all the same

and I really wanted to break out of the templity look.
