Creative and Curious Club

Welcome back to the Creative and Curious Club podcast! This week, I share a personal revelation about the pressures of constant content creation and the creative process. I discuss feeling the need to always deliver amazing content and know my direction, realising this might not be the focus for my current creative season. This episode offers some reflections on how to podcast and navigate these feelings.
