why do we create?

from the ash gracie podcast Hosted by anoushka hem

in this episode of the quiet fire podcast, i wanted to explore the subtle shift from creating for joy to creating in order to feel useful, wanted, or valued, and how easily creativity can become tied to validation and external approval. this conversation gently unpacks the pressure, perfectionism, and self-doubt that can arise when creativity becomes a form of currency rather than expression. this episode is an invitation to reconnect with the lightness of creating for its own sake, reminding you that your worth isn’t defined by what you produce, and that joy, curiosity, and play are enough.
