from Muse · host dsgalvez

In this episode, we're talking about something most creatives struggle with but rarely say out loud: self- validation.Why is it so hard to celebrate ourselves without feeling cringe? Why do we downplay our creative wins, wait for permission to feel proud, or need external approval to feel like it counts?I share a personal moment from my own life this week and how I caught myself shying away from being seen, and how that's connected to deeper beliefs around worth, ego and visibility. We’ll talk about:- The link between self-worth and creative output- Why celebration isn’t ego, it’s connection- How to break the habit of moving on too fast from your own wins- Simple ways to validate yourself (without applause)Plus, I’m so excited to share what’s coming:🧭 Creative Quiz – a free tool to help you uncover what type of creative you are🧰 Creative Toolkit – designed to help you take action based on your creative type🌀 And a mini-course launching in a couple of weeks to help you reset your creative momentum and reconnect with your voiceIf you're ready to stop chasing likes and start owning your voice, this one's for you!
