Ep 28: Letting Go of “Doing It Right” over Whiskey

If you’ve been trying to “do creativity right” and it’s making you avoid the work, this episode is for you. Erin and Elana talk about how to stop forcing someone else’s process, choose a next step you can actually do today, and create from real life instead of performance.

They get into:

• Why your best content often comes from what you’re currently struggling with.
  
• The myth that you can’t coach or teach something until you’ve fully solved it.
• What your audience actually needs from you: probably not perfect lighting, a power suit, and a scripted TED Talk. More likely it's you, being human.

What they are drinking: Elana’s sipping a whiskey sour with egg white. Erin’s having whiskey with black walnut liqueur, a drop of amaretto, and spicy maraschino cherries.

One idea to try

If you’ve been stuck, ask:

• What would feel easy or at least doable as the next step?

Then do that.
