130. The Product Matters Less Than You Think

Ask me a question or let me know what you think! “You should never let your fears prevent you from doing what you know is right.” - Aung San Suu KyiIn this episode, Dr. Amy Backos invites you to rethink your relationship with creativity, success, and even everyday life. Amy explores how our attachment to outcomes—whether in art, parenting, or personal growth—can limit our sense of fulfillment and agency.Through stories from her own art practice, her time as a student in art critiques, and her love of knitting, she illustrates the deep satisfaction that comes from being immersed in the process itself. Drawing from Art Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), she connects creativity to values-based living, showing how to align your daily actions with what truly matters—no matter the final product.This episode is an invitation to slow down, stay present, and rediscover the joy of becoming—one brushstroke, one choice, one act of courage at a time.Support the showExplore the Modern Creative Woman Communityhttps://moderncreativewoman.comFree Goodies and Subscribe to the Monthly Newsletterhttps://moderncreativewoman.com/subscribe-to-the-creative-woman/Connect with Dr. Amy on Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/dramybackos/
