About this listen

This episode of the 'Making Artists Podcast' explores the concept of 'beginner's ego' – the overambitious mindset often encountered by artists at the start of their creative journeys.

Using a viral meme about a three-year-old's nonchalant approach to becoming an astronaut as an entry point, this podcast episode goes into the importance of maintaining enthusiasm while managing realistic expectations.


I share personal and client experiences to highlight some of the most common pitfalls, such as abandoning projects prematurely or believing something is wrong with oneself. I offer strategies to navigate these challenges, radical acceptance and perseverance as key to artistic success.
