About this listen

Ever felt like you can't switch off from your creative work? Like every moment not creating is somehow wasted? You're not alone.


Lyndon and Breallyn get vulnerable about the dark side of creative passion. They explore 'Opportunity Cost Anxiety' and ponder whether they've mistaken creative anxiety for ambition. They also discuss the pervasive feeling of creative guilt and the myth of "making the most of every minute."

It's a candid conversation that gets to the heart of what it means to be a creative in the modern world.
