Grieving the loss of your professional experiences isn’t a weakness—it’s your nervous system trying to finish a story it hasn’t been allowed to tell. This is why losing a creative job, a client, a team, a title, or even the daily rhythm of creative work doesn’t just sting us emotionally—it rewires our brain’s chemistry.

In this episode, we discuss what happens when the routines, recognition, and relationships that fuel your brain’s reward system suddenly vanish, and how unprocessed grief can trap you in rumination mode, searching for closure your brain never got.

You'll also hear 3 key strategies you can use to process difficult professional experiences, PLUS a very important announcement from Jamie Roberts. 🙂

Halloween is over—but are you still wearing a mask? Many creatives know the pressure to put on a confident face while hiding self-doubt, overwhelm, or neurodivergent traits. But behind the polished exterior, masking takes a big toll.

Neuroscience shows that constantly suppressing your true self strains the brain, heightens stress, and can fuel imposter syndrome. In this episode, we explore the hidden costs of masking in creative work and how dropping the “costume” can unlock more authentic confidence and creative flow.

You'll learn:

• Why masking drains your mental energy and reinforces imposter feelings.
• How the brain responds when you suppress your authentic self.
• Practical strategies to build real confidence without hiding behind a mask.

Gert ready to discover how dropping the mask can free your brain, boost your confidence, and ignite your creativity! LET'S ROCK!

Behind the deadlines, design comps, and late-night edits, many creative professionals wrestle with something harder to admit: loneliness. Research shows isolation doesn’t just affect our mood—it rewires the brain, fueling self-doubt, stress, perfectionism, and eventually burnout.

In this episode, we explore the neuroscience of loneliness, why it hits creatives so uniquely, and how connection can reignite both well-being and creative flow.

You'll learn:

• Understand how loneliness impacts the brain and drains creative energy.
• Learn why creative professionals are especially vulnerable to isolation.
• Discover practical ways to build supportive connections and protect your creative spark.

Get ready to finally reconnect with your creative spark—without having to become an extrovert or force yourself into inauthentic experiences. LET'S ROCK!
