Trista Guertin
About this episode

If you're feeling the agony of constant self-doubt about your creative abilities, despite putting in hours of work and receiving little to no recognition or validation, then you are not alone!

In this episode, you will be able to:

  • Triumph over apprehension and uncertainty when presenting your creations to the world.
  • Foster the willingness to be exposed while relishing in achievements and determining aspirational objectives.
  • Establish a dependable web of encouragement to dodge the dangers of contrasting yourself with others.
  • Nourish an attitude of progress that turns missteps into priceless opportunities.
  • Strengthen the trust within yourself, fueling the capability to make a meaningful impact.

Putting your work out there is an opportunity to see what you're capable of.

The resources mentioned in this episode are:

  • Start small and ease into putting your work out there by posting easy topics or quotes on social media.
  • Identify your specific fears about putting your work out there, and then ask yourself how you will feel and what you can control.
  • Allow yourself to feel emotions that come up and process them through.
  • Visualize the feeling of pride and determination that you want to feel when you're putting your work out there.
  • Adopt a growth mindset and see mistakes or failures as opportunities to learn and improve.
  • Surround yourself with support, whether it's from a coach, mentor, or colleague, to get feedback and brainstorm ideas.
  • Use specific calls to action when promoting your product or service, such as providing a link to your website or social media page.

The Value of Putting Your Work Out There

Sharing one's work may feel intimidating, but it holds immense value for both the creator and the audience. Not only can it help develop one's skill set and establish a presence in a chosen field, but it also enables connections with others who share similar interests or could benefit from the work.

By putting their work out into the world, creators open themselves up to a multitude of opportunities that could come from the most unexpected places. Trista highlights the significance of sharing work, emphasizing that even when it's challenging, one's creations may help or inspire someone else.

By reframing the mindset, creators can think of their work as a contribution that has the potential to change lives positively. Trista advocates embracing this perspective to motivate oneself and push through any fears or hesitations.

Embracing Vulnerability and Authenticity

Showing vulnerability through one's work is a powerful way to connect with an audience genuinely. Authenticity resonates with people and can foster more meaningful relationships. While it might feel scary to let people see the real person behind the work, embracing vulnerability can help creators grow and strengthen their overall message.

Trista speaks to the importance of vulnerability in her podcast, suggesting that creators need to lean into it and trust in their ability to navigate any uncertainty.
