I often hear success talked about as if it has some universally agreed upon definition. And often the implication has something to do with career and/or money. But it can mean anything you want. Anything. In this episode I explore my own thoughts on success, I share ways I cultivate the feeling of success or arrive at it, and tons of questions for you to explore and arrive at your own definition.

Confidence is about the quality of your self trust, not the quality of your work. It's not about "Am I good enough?" "Is my art good?"

I see so many people setting a million goals at the beginning of the year - thinking of "what would be fun this year?" And what I think? Throwaway goals are a waste of mental space and energy. It is much more useful to set LESS goals that you are ACTUALLY committed to achieving. Because the added benefit is that other goals will happen as a byproduct. Because you are focused on growth, as we talked about in last week's episode. The best questions to ask when setting a goal : Where do I want to g...

And join me for Hella Year 2022 to learn all the foundations for growth-focused goals and having your best year ...
