🔒 My Antidote for Feeling Like a Failure

from Off The Grid: Leaving Social Media · host Softer Sounds

Lately I’ve found myself stuck in an outdated story around success, failure, and where I think I “should” be by now.This seems to happen every summer when sales/downloads/open-rates dip right as my creative energy surges. And while I can notice that pattern… it doesn’t make the feelings go away.So to support myself through it, last week I re-listened to my episode on Success Being a Cycle and put up my feelers for some creative wisdom on how to orient yourself when everything seems to go dark.And I found inspiration from a few unlikely places!So in this Clubhouse-exclusive minisode, I weave together:Tilda Swinton on softening your dreamsScottie Scheffler on finding satisfaction outside your workKevin Kelly on a different way to do great work& adrienne maree brown on being satisfiableI hope this episode can serve as the pep talk you/me might need to pause, reorient, and keep working toward our dreams.To hear the whole thing, join the Clubhouse at offthegrid.fun/clubhouseWhen you do, you'll get access to over 30 bonus episodes (and counting), curated tech + creative business newsletters, and more.
