About this listen

🎙️ In this Episode: What's Missing When We're in Survival Mode?

In this episode of Creatives Do Business Well, I talk about what happens when we get so focused on building our businesses that we neglect other important parts of ourselves.

I share my personal realization about being stuck in survival mode despite building a business meant to create freedom. I explore how we often put our other passions, interests, and creative outlets on hold while we focus solely on "making it work" in business, and that persistent feeling that "something is missing" even when we're working hard toward our dreams.

Throughout the episode, I ask important questions for you to reflect on: If you didn't have a business, what would you be doing right now? What activities brought you joy as a child before you knew about bills and business plans? What parts of yourself are waiting in the wings, ready for their moment to shine?
