In this mini episode of I Like Your Work, I talk about why waiting to feel "ready" or confident keeps so many artists stuck and how planning your artistic year while feeling afraid can actually be the most honest place to start.
This episode is for artists who:
- Feel overwhelmed when thinking about the year ahead
- Struggle with creative fear, doubt, or perfectionism
- Want to plan their art practice without burning out
- Are ready to make work even when clarity hasn't arrived yet
You don't need to eliminate fear to move forward. You can do it afraid.
I share simple, grounded ways to think about creative planning, goal setting, and staying connected to your work—without pressure, hustle, or unrealistic expectations.
Whether you're planning a new year, a new body of work, or just trying to show up consistently, this episode offers a steady place to begin.
