Summary
How do you keep going when the going gets tough? What do you do when the worst-case scenario happens? How do you find your endurance and your devotion when challenges show up?
This week, I'm talking with writer Alexandra Franzen all about her new book You're Going to Survive as well as her own experiences with facing those seemingly-unsurvivable challenges.
You'll hear her favorite stories from the book, her thoughts on those horrible emails we all dread, and what she did after a bad yelp review sent her into a tailspin!
We all experience doubt in our creative work - this episode might be just what you need to reconnect to your grit!
