    552 - Listen to This if You Need Help Remembering Who You Are (Right Side Out 1 of 6) *RE-AIR*
    Apr 22 2026
    Check out the rest of the “Right Side Out” series on it's own podcast feed here: andyjpizza.com/rso --- It’s been 2 years since we originally aired this episode. This is part 1 of our 6 part audio memoir series “Right Side Out”. On the surface it’s about my journey with ADHD and making peace with being “just like my mom”. But underneath, what it’s really about, is YOU. It’s about how to love yourself enough to get curious about who you are. If you have had trouble finding your style, voice or sensibility as an artist, it might be because you’ve jumped to making for others too quickly. First and foremost, creative work helps us get our inner world onto the page so that we can get an outside perspective on ourselves. Kind of trippy, right? HAHA. But it’s true. Listen to this episode: 1 - If you want to remember who you are. 2 - You need tools for putting more of yourself into your work, whether it’s creative work or not! 3 - You are longing for a more gentle, loving and ultimately more productive relationship with yourself.
