The silence can mess with your head.

You’re showing up — sending self-tapes, writing, rehearsing, painting, creating — and nothing’s landing. It feels like the world has gone quiet on your art, and you start to wonder if you’re doing something wrong.

But here’s the truth: the slow season isn’t proof that you’ve fallen behind. It’s part of both your creative rhythm and the reality of a saturated industry. In this grounded, honest conversation, Lara explores how to stay steady when your work feels invisible — and why your quiet seasons might still be shaping something powerful underneath the surface.

In this episode:

🎯 How to tell the difference between a true creative block and a slow season

🧠 Why your nervous system plays a key role in creative rhythm and recovery

🌱 What to do when you’re creating, but the world isn’t responding yet

Healthy Wealthy Wise Artist is hosted by Lara Bianca Pilcher, ICF PCC-certified Life & Creativity Coach, performer, and author of the upcoming book Audacious Artistry: Reclaim Your Creative Identity and Thrive in a Saturated World (Collective Ink, 2026).

Because thriving as an artist isn’t about constant output — it’s about learning the rhythm that sustains you.

You hide the sketches, delete the takes, rewrite the drafts.

But what if the work you call “bad” is actually where your artist voice begins to take shape?

In this episode:

🎯 Why the pieces you’re ashamed of can spark creative breakthroughs

🧠 How imperfection builds confidence, freedom, and creative flow

🌱 A 3-step “Creative Permission Loop” to help you grow from the work you’d rather hide
