Defiantly Go Against the Grain
Fear, self-doubt, anxiety, creative ruts, and frustration are all a part of pursuing your creativity on your own terms.
It’s an undisclosed waiver you sign when you pour your time and energy into building toward the unknown.
Just know you’re not alone with your struggles, and trusting the process is worth it!
Today’s guest—Peggy Dean of The Pigeon Letters—is a self-taught artist, author, and educator impacting the masses with her crafty talents and brilliant business brain.
She’s been featured by and worked with some of the biggest brands in the game: NBC, Martha Stewart, Skillshare, Google, Vogue, and more.
What I respect the most is her focus on serving and empowering the creative community.
In today’s episode we talk shop on:
- Facing and embracing your fears.
- Going against the grain.
- The waiver you sign to pursue a side hustle.
- The balance of structure with impulsiveness.
- Productivity, corn mazes, and more.
The Goal: To let you know you’re not alone with your fears and struggles as you build your creative biz brick by brick.
