Description

Sometimes the best creative advice comes from the most unexpected teachers. In this episode, Mary shares three powerful insights about artistic confidence and creative decision-making—learned from watching her 7-year-old son navigate art ownership and musical performance.


If you've ever found yourself seeking permission for creative choices or writing by committee instead of trusting your vision, this episode offers a refreshing perspective on artistic ownership and creative confidence.


🎧 What You'll Learn:

✅ Why treating art as conversation (not sacred object) transforms your creative process

✅ How to develop the confidence to make creative decisions without seeking permission

✅ The difference between artistic confidence and writing by committee

✅ The power of pure trust in your creative vision
