How should you respond as a faith-focused creator when you're faced with the most distressing moments of your life?  Should you unplug completely from your work? Does your art have a role in your healing? In this transparent excerpt from our Friday Creator Checkup livestream, I (Allen) am sharing my honest reflections after a sad and unexpected turn of events in my family. It's my hope that sharing my process of navigating this emotional rollercoaster, while still trying to stay in control of my creator career, will help you anytime you have to deal with a hard season in your life. You can watch the original full livestream on our YouTube channel here Send us Fan MailGet On The Waitlist for our Creator Business Deep Dive!Want more help fixing your faith-focused creator business?
