Fear is one of the biggest invisible roadblocks in our creative careers—it clouds judgment, stalls decision-making, and makes self-promotion or bold ideas feel impossible. Plus, it just feels bad. 😖

In this episode, we explore the neuroscience and psychology behind fear’s grip on the creative brain. You’ll learn how fear hijacks your creativity, why stress hormones disrupt imagination, and what practical steps you can take to condition your body to automatically shift from survival mode back into a creative flow.

Whether you’re a graphic designer facing portfolio paralysis, a creative director battling imposter syndrome, or an independent freelancer struggling to put your business into the world, this episode delivers the science-backed tools and insights you need to move through fear and return to confident, inspired creation. LET'S ROCK!
