E55. Why 241 Women Didn’t Show Up (And Why You Might Be One of Them)

from Creative Business Spark · host Anne LaFollette

Show Notes: In this episode, I'm getting honest about something that's hard to admit. Recently, I paid for an in-person mastermind meeting, registered to attend, and I didn't go. Why is this relevant? Last week, 241 women did the same thing to Doodles Coaching Week. Whether you showed up or not, this episode is for every woman who has ever registered for something with real intention and quietly let herself off the hook. I'm sharing the 3 real reasons creative women don't show up for themselves — and one very concrete next step to start breaking that pattern for good. 👉 What You'll Learn: The Busyness Costume: Why "I'm too busy" is almost never about time — and what it's really disguising beneath the surface. The Old Wound: How decades of being told your creativity isn't worth prioritizing shows up in the quietest, most self-sabotaging ways. The Fear Underneath: Why we avoid the things that matter most to us — and what it means when showing up feels terrifying. The Real Numbers: What 450 registrations and 209 attendees actually reveals about how creative women treat their own growth. The Concrete Next Step: How to close the gap between the woman who signs up and the woman who follows through — starting with your Doodles design and a piece of real fabric. ➡️ Important Links: A special creative bundle for you: The Doodles Replays + Your First Fabric Mini-Course bundled together.
