E156. How I Learned to Take Myself Less Seriously...and More Seriously

Update: 2024-11-01

Description

Have you ever been told you take yourself too seriously? I heard this all the time growing up. And it was both right...and wrong. In this episode I discuss how I held myself back from reaching for my creative dreams both by taking myself too seriously and not seriously enough. Sound confusing? Well, give it a listen!

Here is the Instagram reel that sparked this episode.
