Trusting Yourself and Owning Your Creative Path

Do you ever feel like you’re waiting for permission to chase your creative dreams? Maybe you’re holding back because of self-doubt, fear of failure, or worrying what other people might think. If that little voice inside of you is whispering (or even screaming) that you’re made for more, this episode is for you.

In Episode 7 of Hey, Beautiful Creative!, we’re diving into how to stop seeking permission, build self-trust, and boldly own your creative path.

I’ll share:
- The biggest reasons we don’t trust ourselves as artists and makers
- How societal conditioning, social media, and fear fuel self-doubt
- Why people-pleasing keeps you stuck (and how to release it)
- Practical steps to stop seeking external validation and start listening to your inner compass
- Small daily practices to reconnect with yourself and your creative voice
- A pep talk you can come back to anytime you need encouragement

This episode is filled with mindset tips, personal stories, and gentle but powerful reminders that you are already whole—and you already have everything you need within you to take your next step.

Whether you’re building a creative business, exploring a new art form, or simply wanting to live more authentically, this conversation will help you:
