Heads Up!

My last episode, episode 60, was a response to a listener question about being able to make all kinds of art… EXCEPT for the art that she really wanted to be making — the art that she really cared about.
If you’ve ever found it hard to do the thing you most longed to do, you’ll definitely want to check out episode 60.
In today’s episode, I want to talk about what tends to happen to sensitive, tender-hearted people, whenever some kind of tragedy strikes others: we often find it really hard to create.
It feels selfish — as if we’re not touched by the suffering of others.
I wrote a blog post about this issue back in 2012, and with the recent tragedies in the news it seemed like a good time to revisit it. So let’s do it!
