Description

In this episode, we explore the surprisingly powerful concept of gentle consistency—a kinder, more sustainable approach to building your creative practice. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by perfectionism, stuck in comparison, or paralyzed by the need to “do it all,” this conversation is for you.

You’ll learn:

  • Why small, honest efforts beat burnout and over-ambition

  • How to build creative habits that feel good (and actually stick)

  • Why letting go of perfection unlocks flow and joy

  • How consistency works with—not against—your natural rhythm

Whether you're a painter, writer, or maker of any kind, this episode offers real-world encouragement to help you show up with ease, not pressure. Start where you are. Create a little. Let it grow.

🎨 Gentle consistency is not weakness—it’s quiet creative power.
