This week, I have a lot of thoughts about our relationship to other’s opinions and our definition of happiness, as sparked by reading Milk Fed by Melissa Broder. How do we reclaim our sense of self and our life priorities from the all-consuming search for approval? In this episode's paid version, I talked through week four of The Artist’s Way. This included a discussion of the damage done to our creativity by saying “it’s ok”, as well as a challenge I’m issuing to myself this week!
