[22] Fear of Shining - Jung at Harp #22 - 200724

"Tune in for a deep conversation about creativity, psychology, and artistic growth!" What happens when your creativity starts to shine — and fear shows up at the same time? In this episode of Jung at Harp, Deborah Henson-Conant and Kathleen Wiley dive into the "Fear of Shining" — the vulnerability that comes with being seen and heard as a creative being. They explore how early experiences of shame, rejection, or criticism can make us hesitate when we start to express ourselves. Through honest stories and deep insight, they talk about the ways people can learn to embrace their light, navigate moments of self-doubt, and recognize the difference between harmful and supportive relationships. This conversation highlights the importance of community, connection, and creative courage — and how shining doesn't mean being perfect, but being real. Each episode in this series explores a core principle of Deborah's "Strings of Passion" framework: Impulse, Structure, Character, Roles, Practice(s), Deconstruction, and Lift-Off — the same framework at the heart of her 10-week creativity program. Whether you're just beginning your creative journey or returning to your voice, this episode will remind you: your light is worth sharing. Disclaimer: "There may be minor audio dropouts in this episode, but the conversation is clear and deeply engaging."
