Becoming Your Own Boss

Two hurdles I hear consistently holding creatives back are the:

Pursuit of perfection.
Lack of motivation to make moves.

When, in reality, we’re holding ourselves up with these internal conflicts that we can choose to sidestep at any time.

The people you look up to often deal with these—yet they refuse to let them distract them from chasing what they want.

Today’s guest, Elizabeth Gray of The Grayter Good, is living proof that finding success with your style is an ever-evolving process.

She’s an absurdly talented lettering artist, muralist, and illustrator with a combined audience of 750K+ followers (IG + TikTok).

Her biggest talent is showing herself in her content and in an incredibly entertaining, yet valuable way.

She’s also the author of her upcoming book: The Happy Homebody: A Field Guide To The Great Indoors. (Which is all about empowering the introverted creative.)

In today’s episode we talk shop on:

Overcoming the inner perfectionism dialogue.
Finding motivation within a routine.
Finding style through constraints, experimentation, and more.

The Goal: To provide a little insight on how to find your style and groove while setting yourself for breakthroughs along the way.

BONUS: The Next BIG Season of the Podcast

If you’re a consistent listener or a newbie to the podcast, you know that I’m currently on a 2-month break...

This was supposed to be a quick little Bonus episode to update you on what to expect next...

As I started writing, it ended up turning into a journal...

NOT to explain to you why I’m taking this break...

But more to work out how things got to this point, while also convincing myself it’s OK (and necessary) to hit pause and reset.

It gives you a front-row seat in my head to understand how all this started as a passion project and the possibilities of what this could evolve into.

Let’s dive in.
