How to Create in Chaos | The Solo Episode

I had a gut-punch moment a few weeks ago when everything went sideways and suddenly my podcast felt… pointless. I remember thinking, who needs content about creativity when the world feels like it’s falling apart? That kind of paralysis is real—we’ve all felt it. 

Whether you’re running a cupcake shop or putting out comedy sketches, it’s easy to wonder if people even need what you’re creating. But here’s what I realized: maybe they need it more than ever. Your mission isn’t something you abandon when things get dark—it’s the anchor that keeps you, and the people you serve, steady in the storm.
