Comparison is one of the fastest ways to disconnect from your own creative identity. In this episode, we’re talking about what really happens inside an artist when the noise gets loud — the scrolling, the pressure, the “why am I even trying?” spiral — and how to quiet it so you can show up with clarity again.

Whether you’re a performer, maker, storyteller, or creative soul of any kind, this episode will help you understand what comparison is really doing to your nervous system, your confidence, and your momentum — and how to reclaim your voice before the noise convinces you to disappear.

Healthy Wealthy Wise Artist is hosted by Lara Bianca Pilcher, PCC-certified Life & Creativity Coach, performer, and author of Audacious Artistry: Reclaiming Your Creative Identity and Thrive in a Saturated World (Collective Ink, 2026).

Because thriving as an artist isn’t just about being paid — it’s about creating from freedom, purpose, and worth.

You’re waiting for the perfect moment, the polished idea, the breakthrough project that finally proves your art matters — but the pressure to make something big keeps you frozen.

In this What Works episode of Healthy Wealthy Wise Artist, Lara Bianca Pilcher shares how small, sustainable steps reignite creative momentum. You’ll learn the psychology behind why “big goals” overwhelm the nervous system, how to use micro-movement to rebuild confidence, and why small work is often the truest work.

If you’ve been stuck under the weight of your own expectations, this is your gentle permission slip to begin again.

🎯 In this episode, you’ll discover:

🎨 Why the brain confuses big goals with danger — and how to calm that response.

🧠 How completion (not perfection) restores creative trust.

🌱 A 15-minute Creative Spark challenge to help you start small — and stay consistent.
