Welcome back to The Creative Life Podcast.
In the last couple of episodes, I talked about a period of resistance in my creative life.
Today, I wanted to go deeper. Not to repeat myself — but to make the lessons clearer, more practical, and more usable for anyone facing their own block.
Because resistance isn’t abstract.
It has a message.
It has a direction.
And when you finally stop avoiding it, it becomes the doorway back to your real work.
In this episode, I break down exactly how I moved from being stuck — creatively, emotionally, spiritually — to reconnecting with the centre of my project, rebuilding momentum, and making the big decisions that changed the year.
Whether you’re a musician, writer, or artist trying to find your way back to what matters, this episode gives you a step-by-step you can actually use.
What's Inside:
- 🧭 How resistance shows up when you’ve drifted from your real creative driver
- 🙏 Why surrender, not effort, is often the turning point
- ✍️ How to name the one move you’ve been avoiding — and finally make it
- 🧹 What removing obstacles does for your creative energy
- 🎶 How reconnecting to the habit brings the work alive again
Let’s get into it.
