Designer Anxiety & Why Being Yourself Online Wins with CJ Cawley

In this episode, I’m joined by CJ Cawley, designer, content creator, and all-round creative to talk about anxiety, authenticity, and showing up online even when it’s uncomfortable. After getting a handful of confessions from creatives struggling with social media confidence, we dive deep into what it really feels like to put yourself out there. From overthinking how you look or sound, to the pressure of chasing numbers and staying “on brand", CJ and I unpack fear and insecurity of the creative process.The Creative Confessions(s)™ we're discussing:✷ “My anxiety is stopping me from getting in front of the camera and talking, but maybe I need to because that’s what everybody else is doing.”✷ “I love what I do and I want to be a successful designer, but when it comes to social media, I just don’t have the motivation all the time.”✷ “I’m scared that my insecurities will show up in my work.”CONNECT WITH CJCJ's InstagramCJ's WebsiteWatch CJ's Youtube Video✷ Ready to share your story, opinions or those questions you feel like you can’t ask? ⁠⁠Submit your own Creative Confession™ ⁠here⁠CONNECT WITH ROBIN:✷ Get Design Freebies ⁠here⁠✷ Follow Robin on Instagram ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Enjoying the podcast?
