25. During the Creative Gauntlet: Pt 2 of Monsters in the Making

from UnLightened: A Guide to Freedom for Messy Humans · host Amanda Gold

👻Episode 2: Making it through the woods without freaking out and giving up.  You did it—you started. You stopped making excuses, you dealt with the discomfort and you started CREATING.  Brush to canvas, marker to paper, hot glue gun to a piece of wood you found in the alley…… you're IN the forest now. And with that victory comes… the mid-making monster gauntlet.   This is the part where the snake-monster slithers in to hiss, "This sucks. You suck." Where the banshee screeches, "What will people think?" Where the quicksand of perfectionism tries to smother the joy right out of you.   In this second episode of our 3-part creative gauntlet series, I've got a lantern and a bunch of magical tools to help you keep going and build your creative chops, so that eventually creating isn't so hard. Remember, it's your birthright. If it's scary and challenging now, it doesn't mean you're not meant to do it. I can help.    With things like… ✨ The Oops Amulet  🧭 The Joy Compass  💨 The Five-Breath Reset    And powerful spells like "whose bullshit is this" and "what would love say"   We'll bust the lies of perfectionism, "shoulds," fears and doubts, and build your courage and ability to keep making your art no matter what. Reclaim your right to make stuff.  Your only job is to keep going.   Psst: The next Tiger Mystics cohort kicks off in September. It's where we mix creative magic + spiritual power, and you belong here. Hop on my email list to be first to know.
