E5. Embracing the Ugly to Increase Creativity and Banish Judgy Voices

In this episode I talk about an exercise I developed called Embracing the Ugly that helps me deal with critical, judgy voices (both the external and internal types), and how it's allowed me tap into my creative potential and made me braver about putting my creative products out there - like this podcast! I discuss the difference between your internal critic and internal judge, and how this exercise works to shift your perspective on what is or is not true about you and your creative work. Hint: only YOU have sovereignty over the meaning of you and your work - and here I tell you how to begin to manifest that power in your life. Plus, I talk about something that gives me the shame sweats (yikes). We're talking about some tough stuff in this episode, but you've got this!You can find this episode's accompanying blog post here.
