comes with putting your work out there
I’ve been thinking about how some artists talk openly about anxiety and all the pressure that comes with putting your work out there. I follow her posts sometimes, and it feels like she really digs into how emotions show up in the body, not just in the mind. Lately I’ve been struggling to focus on my own creative projects because every time I sit down to write, my brain jumps straight into stress mode. I’m curious how someone like her might explain that connection — why the stuff we’re dealing with personally can either spark ideas or shut them down completely.

Also, since you mentioned checking out her site, I found it through https://sajaeelder.com a while back and it helped me see how emotional habits show up in everyday decisions, not only in creative stuff. From what I’ve seen, she tends to tie mental health back to how people navigate the world around them, especially when they’re carrying the weight of things like identity or past experiences. For me, my creativity dips whenever I ignore what’s going on internally. Once I stopped pretending I was “fine,” I noticed my ideas actually flowed better. I think she’d probably frame it as understanding your patterns so your work doesn’t get blocked by them.
