Happy New Year!

If your creative life looks exactly the same next year as it does right now…
that’s not bad luck. That’s a choice.

In this New Year’s Day episode of Creative Roots Podcast, Tae sits down with Shamar and Deana G for a real, honest conversation creatives don’t usually want to have, but desperately need. No fluff. No motivational clichés. Just a straight-up creative reset to start 2026 with clarity, consistency, and intention.

We break down the creative red flags we all ignore, the excuses we disguise as “strategy,” and why another year of “planning” without execution isn’t going to cut it.

In this episode, we cover:

• Creative habits put on trial in Creative Court
• The most ignored creative red flags (waiting on motivation, hiding goals, over-researching, inconsistency)
• Hard truths creatives avoid, but already know
• Why structure beats motivation every time
• The difference between creativity and clarity
• A Practical Reset (no vision boards required)
• What it really means to ship something publicly instead of just talking about it

This episode isn’t about tearing creatives down, it’s about calling us up. If any of this feels obvious… that’s the point.

Questions we challenge you with:

• What are you pretending not to know?
• What would have to change for you not to regret this year?
• If nothing changed for the next 3 years… would you be okay with that?

This is a creative wake-up call, a mindset shift, and a conversation meant to spark action, not applause.

Join the conversation:
Drop a comment and tell us:
• One creative red flag you’re fixing this month
• One thing you’re cutting
• One thing you’re committing to
• One thing you’re shipping publicly in Q1

If you’re a creative, entrepreneur, artist, podcaster, filmmaker, designer, or builder, this episode is for you.
