In this episode, Lisa talks about the relationship between fear (which we also call anxiety) and the creative process. Fear and creativity are so inextricably linked that we almost cannot separate them. And, yet, they constantly feel at war with one another. And that conflict gets in the way of the making and the doing. So what do we do? The answer is simple, but it requires work and patience and a new perspective. Take a listen to learn more about mind shifts you can make when anxiety keeps you from moving forward.
