Episode 96
Happy Wednesday errbody! The waitlist for The Audacity Project, Cycle 27 closes on Friday the 30th! Sign up here for early enrollment, $100 off the price of tuition, and an early access bonus- all of this is only available to the waitlist before enrollment goes public.
This week's episode is all about perfectionism, how it manifests in artistic practice as well as outside of it, and what to do about it if it's got its teeth in you. It also ended up being accidentally confessional but I'm going let it be what it is.
What you'll hear:
- The role of routine and discipline, and how it sometimes needs to be disrupted 3:00
- Why I think perfectionism is one of the most insidious gremlins there are 7:30
- How to know if you're a perfectionist or if you just have high standards of excellence 8:15
- How discipline and routine can be the ladder out of perfectionism 11:15
- My own relationship with perfectionism in art work 11:30
- How I got all smug about not being a perfectionist in my artistic work, but realized I have these tendencies in my other life omg so rude 13:30
- How I've experienced perfectionism outside of artistic practice 15:00
- Why perfectionism is bullshit 21:45
Don't go back to sleep.
